For Immediate Release:

With HB 8 (89 2), Texas is modernizing our public school assessment and accountability system to deliver transparency, better outcomes for students, and the talent pipeline our economy needs. Thank you @BradBuckleyDVM Buckley and Sen. Paul Bettencourt for leading this reform.

TBLC provided written testimony before the Texas House Public Education Committee. HB 8 (2) was voted out of the committee 8-1, taking an important step forward in replacing the STAAR test and strengthening our school accountability system. Read the full testimony below:

Stronger schools = stronger workforce. 📈 SB 8 overhauls STAAR and gives students more learning time, teachers faster feedback, and Texas a better way to track progress—so every student is ready for what’s next. 👏 Senator Bettencourt #txed #txlege senate.texas.gov/videoplayer.ph…
