Several Texas school districts are suing the Texas Education Agency for changing the accountability rating system.
Dr. Jodi Spoor is in charge of the Southside ISD curriculum. She said the Texas Education Agency has moved the goal post for the district-wide accountability rating, which can affect a district’s funding and attention from the state.
Dr. Janis Jordan, who is in charge of the Northside ISD curriculum, said the district would have to pay closer attention to career certifications, dual credit classes and students joining the military. Despite the testing changes, Southside ISD and Northside ISD said they saw STAAR scores improve in math and reading.
