Texas Education Agency Updates

Good afternoon, Performance Reporting bulletin members.

This Week in Performance Reporting will take a spring break on March 20. We will send out the next update on March 27.

What’s New in Performance Reporting

A–F Accountability

This spring and summer, Performance Reporting will release reports related to 2020 accountability ratings through the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application.  As a reminder, district staff need a TEAL account to access this application.

In order to access the Accountability application, all users must create a TEAL account. You can request access at https://tealprod.tea.state.tx.us/. If you have any issues creating a TEAL account, please submit a request for assistance at https://txeduagency.zendesk.com. For an overview of TEAL, please visit http://www.tea.state.tx.us/webappaccess/overview.htm.

For questions about the 2020 accountability system, please contact Performance Reporting at performance.reporting@tea.texas.gov or (512) 463-9704.

Local Accountability System

District timelines, including plan submission deadlines, are now posted on the local accountability website. An updated Local Accountability Guide is now available.

Districts that attended training during, or prior to, the fall of 2019, have been provided via email with a link to submit a Notice of Intent: 2020-21 Plan Submission. Other districts that would like more information about submitting a plan for the 2020-21 school year should contact the local accountability team as soon as possible to discuss options and plan for upcoming deadlines.

Please reach out to the local accountability system team at LAS@tea.texas.gov, call (512) 463-9704, or check the website if you have questions.
