Our Texas schools deserve more than one test! HB 8 added tests, but A-F ratings still rely on one exam. Tell 2026 candidates to #MeasureWhatMattersTx: ttps://go.ryht.org/morethantests

Texas Senate approves bill swapping STAAR exam for three shorter tests The tests would be administered at the beginning, middle and end of the school year. But the proposal’s fate is unclear with the House in limbo over a redistricting fight.

I want to be pleased that my values & #texaslege values align, but there's always some kind of bullshit with #DanPatrick 's government.

State Rep. Brad Buckley (Salado -R), had a bill to replace #STAAR with 3 short exams spaced throughout the year. This change would ease pressure on #students and offer a more accurate picture of learning over time, but negotiations in the #txlege broke down before regular session ended, June 2025.

Real learning takes time. Real assessments should support students throughout the school year. Texas students and teachers deserve better tools to measure their progress.

The 2024-2025 STAAR scores for grades 3-8 were released to HISD last week, but campuses still haven’t received them. Why is the HISD Superintendent holding them back? What’s going on? 🤔 #STAAR #HISD

Legislative Literacy: What Does a Conference Committee Do? When the Texas House and Senate cannot agree on the exact language in a bill they have both passed, a conference committee is established.
