Texas PTA members are encouraged to go to the link below and complete the survey regarding STAAR’s CSR – Confidential Student Report. The CSR is used by parents, teachers, and students to communicate a student’s acquisition of the knowledge and skills required to be taught in Texas public schools. Student academic performance is measured in required grades and subject areas using the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) in grades 3-8 and high school. The CSR serves as an important communication tool that enables collaboration and cooperation between a student’s school and home.

Texas A&M University is working collaboratively with Texas PTA to survey our members concerning HB 5 Endorsement Selection. As you may recall, Texas PTA was instrumental in the passage of HB 5, so we are committed to its success. This is a voluntary, anonymous survey. By completing it, your responses will provide invaluable information regarding:
- The ways in which information about your middle and high school students’ endorsement selection process is transmitted to you
- How effective you feel the information you are receiving is to your ability to support your child’s decision making.
Deadline: 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 10.
Thank you in advance for your participation.
Completing this survey is one more way you can back the future!

The Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) is seeking input from the public on the STAAR Assessment Program and the state’s accountability program with the goal of gathering suggestions for future program development.
The survey is open through June 30.
History
From October 2015 to March 2016, SBOE members held several Community Conversations around the state. The issues raised during the community meetings are addressed in the survey.
“Our constituents often talk to board members about testing and school ratings issues,” said Donna Bahorich, chair of the SBOE. “I felt it was also important for board members to have in-depth discussions to learn what educators, parents, business people and others want from these two high profile programs. I believe our findings will be useful in shaping the next generation systems.”
Information gathered from the survey and Community Conversations will be compiled into a report and presented to the SBOE during its July 19-22 meeting. Once adopted, the report will be provided to legislative leaders and the Texas Commission on Next Generation Assessments and Accountability.
The 15-member commission, created by the Texas Legislature, is to make recommendations for statutory changes to the state’s assessment and accountability systems. The commission report is to be submitted to the governor and legislature by Sept.1.
