1 TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY 1701 North Congress Ave. Austin, Texas / FAX: 512/ December 22, 2003 TO THE SUPERINTENDENT ADDRESSED: Action Required Enclosed is a list of schools identified under the Public Education Grant (PEG) Program, authorized under Texas Education Code, Chapter 29, Subchapter G, , and a description of the methodology used to identify the schools on the list. This list, effective for the school year, identifies campuses at which 50 percent or more of the students did not pass TAAS or TAKS in any two of the preceding three years or were rated Low-performing in 2001 or 2002 under the statewide accountability system. Under the Public Education Grant interdistrict transfer provision, a parent of a student enrolled in any of the campuses listed may make application to attend a campus in any other school district for the school year. A school district chosen by a student s parent under this statute is entitled to accept or reject the application for the student to attend school in that district but may not use criteria that discriminate on the basis of a student s race, ethnicity, academic achievement, athletic abilities, language proficiency, sex, or socioeconomic status. Alternatively, a district may accept interdistrict transfers under Section of the Texas Education Code. Civil Action 5281 may also limit the ability of districts to accept students to the extent the minority or majority of a school s population, based on ADA, changes by more than one percent. Notification of eligibility must be provided by February 1, 2004 to each parent of a student in the district assigned to attend a school on the enclosed PEG list. All parental notifications must occur through letters to each student s family. The notice must contain a clear, concise explanation of the Public Education Grant Program and how the parent may obtain further information about pursuing a transfer. Requirements related to the PEG program concerning the identification criteria, student eligibility, effective dates, notification dates, and funding allotments, are shown below: Fulfilling the Promise for All Texas Children

2 Because of the manner in which funding takes place using a weight of 0.1, no separate worksheet will be needed to calculate the PEG amount. The district providing educational services to the student will report attendance as it would for any other student. The worksheet for calculation of state aid, which can be found on the TEA web site ( under the school finance topic, has been modified to include the PEG funding weight. There are no special accounting requirements or limitations on the use of PEG-related funds. Rules governing access to supplemental funding for districts with property wealth per weighted student above the guaranteed level in TEC have been adopted and can be found in 19 TAC Bear in mind that a district is eligible to receive PEG weighted funding only to the extent the number of students accepted on the basis of a PEG exceeds the number of resident students who are educated in other districts on a PEG. Questions concerning the list and the methodology used to identify schools should be directed to the Division of Performance Reporting at (512) Questions regarding the implementation of the program should be directed to the Division of State Funding at (512) Sincerely, Criss Cloudt, Associate Commissioner for Accountability and Data Quality Enclosures

3 METHODOLOGY FOR IDENTIFYING SCHOOLS ON THE PEG LIST * Schools are included on the list if: 1) less than 50 percent of the students passed: a) any reading, writing or mathematics test on the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) or the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), summed across the grades tested at the school b) in any two of the three years: 2001, 2002, or 2003 [This analysis was based on all students tested; performance of student groups was not examined.] OR 2) the school was rated Low-performing in either 2001 or Notes: Alternative education schools, schools with fewer than five students tested on TAAS/TAKS, charter schools, and schools with no TAAS/TAKS data were excluded from the list. The TAAS results were those used in the accountability system in 2001 and 2002, which are based on the non-special education students tested in grades 3 8 and 10, in reading, mathematics, and writing; special education students tested in grades 3 8 and 10, in reading, mathematics, and writing; and, students tested on Spanish TAAS in grades 3 through 6. Only students who were enrolled in the district in late October are included for accountability ratings purposes. The TAKS results are based on the non-special education students tested in grades 3 11, in reading, mathematics, and writing; special education students tested in grades 3-11, in reading, mathematics, and writing; and, students tested on Spanish TAKS in grades 3 through 6. Only students who were enrolled in the district in late October are included and 2002 accountability ratings are determined by evaluating performance on two indicators: TAAS results and the annual dropout rate. Therefore, a campus could receive the Low-performing rating even though TAAS performance may have been above the minimally acceptable standard. * Criteria for the PEG list will be reevaluated in the future given the implementation of the new TAKS testing program in 2003 and a new accountability system in Texas Education Agency, Office of Accountability and Data Quality Division of Performance Reporting

4 EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS writing, or mathematics test on the year specific Texas assessment instrument summed across the grades tested at the school in any two of the three years: 2001, 2002, and 2003 or the school was rated Low-Performing in either 2001 or 2002 DISTRICT NAME CAMPUS NAME CAMPUS NUMBER The district name. The most current name of the campus in TEA files. The nine-digit number used by TEA to uniquely identify each campus in the state. Identification Years: * YR_2001 The reason, if any, that the campus was identified for this list based on TAAS results or 2001 accountability ratings. The reason codes are explained below. * YR_2002 The reason, if any, that the campus was identified for this list based on TAAS results or 2002 accountability ratings. The reason codes are explained below. YR_2003 The reason, if any, that the campus was identified for this list based on TAKS results. The reason codes are explained below. Reasons for Identification: R W M LP The TAAS/TAKS passing rate in Reading was below 50 percent for the tested grades at the campus. The TAAS/TAKS passing rate in Writing was below 50 percent for the tested grades at the campus. The TAAS/TAKS passing rate in Mathematics was below 50 percent for the tested grades at the campus. The campus was rated Low-performing. * The 2001 and 2002 ratings were issued in August of those years and were in effect for the following school year. For example, the 2002 ratings were based on TAAS results from the spring of the school year, and dropout rates from the school year. The 2002 ratings remained in effect throughout the school year.
