To view the entire proposed rule, including a summary of changes, see today’s edition of the Texas Register. The public comment period on the proposed rules (including the manual) opened today and closes on Monday, June 13, 2022. Public comments may be made through the TEA website or to performance.reporting@tea.texas.gov.

Local Accountability System
The 2021 Notice of Interest for districts wishing to participate in the local accountability system is available online. Districts submitting a form will be contacted for follow-up discussions.
Participating districts may wish to develop a plan during the 2021–22 school year that is then applied to the 2022–23 school year. The Local Accountability System team remains committed to supporting districts in creating a plan that meets all requirements and supports a model of local accountability.
The Local Accountability Guide and Frequently Asked Questions provide information about plan requirements and example components. Both documents can be found on the local accountability webpage.
Districts wishing to learn more about the local accountability system and how to develop a district local accountability plan can participate in a 45-minute overview webinar with time for Q & A.
Registration links are available for the upcoming webinar date in May. Summer webinar dates will be available soon.
