2024 Federal School Improvement Designations Released

TEA is proceeding with federal identification, interventions and grant-funding processes, per an agreement reached in the recently filed accountability litigation.

Under federal accountability laws, campuses that meet certain criteria must be identified for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) or Additional Targeted Support (ATS). The methodology for these identifications is detailed in the state’s ESSA consolidated plan and summarized in the 2024 Accountability Manual. The School Improvement (SI) federal identification lists are publicly available on the 2024 Accountability System webpage in compliance with federal mandates. Campuses’ underlying accountability reports in the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) Accountability application have also been updated to include the Identification for Schools for Improvement report.

The TAA: Information for School Systems with Campuses Identified for School Improvement Interventions under Federal Accountability, includes additional information on Federal Intervention participation Requirements, related Grant opportunities, and Additional Resources. Additional information regarding accountability, intervention requirements and resources are located on the Division of School Improvement webpage.


Class of 2023 College, Career, Military Readiness Outcomes Bonus (CCMR OB) Early Counts File Now Available

TEA has published an Early CCMR OB Counts by District 2023 Graduates file on the Performance Reporting Resources webpage and the CCMR OB Early Counts Student Listing within the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application. Early counts for the Class of 2023 will be incorporated into the Legislative Payment Estimates (LPE) column of the 2024–2025 Summary of Finances (SOF) reports and paid throughout the year according to the district’s payment schedule. The SOF reports will display the count of annual graduates in excess of the threshold percentages of 2023 annual graduates who demonstrated college, career, or military readiness.

Once data from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) is received and processed, a Final CCMR OB Counts by District 2023 Graduates file will be published within a few months and will be incorporated into the District Planning Estimates (DPE) column of the SOF reports to settle up fiscal year 2024–2025 CCMR OB funding. Settle up for fiscal year 2024-2025 will occur in September 2025 when the DPE column becomes the basis for payments.


2024 Underlying Accountability Subset Data Available in TEAL

Due to a pending lawsuit, the issuance of 2024 A-F ratings are pending and subject to change based on judicial rulings. Authorized school system users in the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application have access to data, reports and downloads that do not include A-F ratings or scale scores, nor federal school improvement designations.

Additional details were released on August 14th, 2024 in a TAA which can be accessed at the following link, 2024 Underlying Accountability Subset Data Available in TEAL.


2024 State and Regional Accountability Reports Available

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) publicly released region and state-level raw data reports on the 2024 Accountability System page to provide school systems additional information to support internal evaluation of campus and district academic performance. This release includes the region and state-wide results but does not include scale scores or A–F ratings. The issuance of A-F ratings, originally scheduled to be released on August 13, 2024, are pending and subject to change based on judicial rulings.
