CCMR Outcomes Bonus Early Counts for 2024 Graduates Now Available
As shared in the TAA, CCCMR Outcomes Bonus for 2024 Graduates Early Counts, on August 28, 2025, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) annually awards districts College, Career, and Military Readiness Outcomes Bonus (CCMR OB) funding. Funding is awarded based on the number of annual graduates who demonstrate college, career, or military readiness in excess of a threshold for three cohorts: 1) annual graduates who are economically disadvantaged; 2) annual graduates who are not economically disadvantaged; and 3) annual graduates who are enrolled in a special education program.
Early counts reflect readiness outcomes for graduates who met TSI criteria, earned associate degrees or industry-based certifications (IBCs) and those who enrolled in postsecondary institutions immediately after high school but counts do not yet include data from the THECB for postsecondary institution enrollment.
CCMR OB is a financial incentive for districts based on student outcomes in readiness. This is different from CCMR for Academic Accountability. Requirements can be found in the CCMR in Accountability vs Outcomes Bonus resource posted on the Performance Reporting Resources webpage. Note: 2024 PEIMS Working Submission data submitted for the appeals of 2025 accountability ratings do not apply to CCMR OB.
Early counts for the Class of 2024 will be incorporated into the Legislative Payment Estimates (LPE) column of the 2025-26 Summary of Finances (SOF) reports and paid throughout the year according to the district’s payment schedule. The release of the CCMR Outcomes Bonus Early Counts allows school systems to financially plan more effectively and thoroughly for the 2025-26 school year.
2023 School Report Cards Now Available
School Report Cards (SRC) inform families about a campus’ individual characteristics and its academic performance including STAAR and Academic Growth outcomes. On the SRC, Student attendance and enrollment information, class size information, and financial indicators are provided alongside the campus’s 2023 Overall Academic Accountability Rating, a rating for each accountability domain, and the 2023 Distinction Designations earned by the campus from the 2023 accountability rating year. Each campus must send a copy of the SRC to a parent or guardian of each of its students within six weeks of notification that the SRC has been posted. The campus may provide the SRC in the same way that it sends other official communications to parents and guardians. Districts may distribute the SRC electronically if they can ensure that parents and guardians are notified that the SRC is available and that they are able to access it. A campus or district must provide a printed copy (in color or black and white) to anyone who cannot access the electronic version.
The inclusion of a cover letter with the SRC is not required, but many schools find it helpful to provide one. A sample cover letter to families is available in both English and Spanish. The school report card definitions, updated each year, explain several of the terms used in the SRC. The school report card definitions are also available in Spanish. For additional information, please see the TAA, 2023 School Report Cards Now Available, which was shared on August 28, 2025.

The CCMR Student Listings were posted in the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application on August 1st. The results reflect the methodology in the final rule adopting the Accountability Rating System Manual for 2025 ratings.
On August 15, 2025, both 2024 and 2025 Accountability Reports, Accountability Downloads, and Statewide Summary slides were posted on their respective 2024 Accountability Rating System and 2025 Accountability Rating System webpages. These tools provide school systems additional information to support internal evaluation of campus and district academic performance. TXSchools.gov also publicly reports the 2025 scale scores and ratings. 2024 can also be found on the “Change Over Time” table on the Accountability Overview tab.
2024 and 2025 Appeals Timeline
The Commissioner of Education is required to provide a process for school districts and open enrollment charter schools to challenge an agency decision relating to an academic rating that affects the district or school, including a determination of consecutive school years of unacceptable performance ratings (Texas Education Code [TEC], §39.151). Alongside the release of 2024 and 2025 preliminary ratings, the 2024 and 2025 appeals timeline was shared in the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application, on the 2025 Accountability Rating System and the 2024 Accountability Rating System webpages. This resource provides additional details and a timeline of the appeals process for both 2024 and 2025 appeals of preliminary A-F ratings. The deadline for 2024 and 2025 preliminary A-F ratings appeals is September 12, 2025 at 5pm via upload in the in the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application, by mail, or hand delivery.
As was shared via the TAA, PEIMS Working Submission for 2025 A-F Accountability Ratings, the agency is allowing districts to appeal their 2025 accountability rating based on a PEIMS Working Submission to correct data submitted in the 2023-2024 PEIMS Submission Windows related to College Preparatory Course Completion data errors or Industry Based Certification (IBC) data errors. Only 2025 ratings administered under the 2025 Accountability Rating System Manual will be appealable as part of the PEIMS Working Submission process for accountability ratings. Districts should only submit a Working Submission if the appropriate supporting documentation is on hand to support the data submitted. A new resource, PEIMS Working Submission Guidance is available in the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application and on the 2025 Accountability Rating System webpage to support school systems in correctly submitting appeals aligned to the PEIMS Working Submission process for IBCs and College Prep courses.
2023 Final Accountability Ratings and 2025-26 School Year PEG List
The final 2023 A-F Accountability Ratings were posted publicly on TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application, TXschools.gov and Accountability Reports on August 19, 2025. Final ratings reflect the Commissioner’s decisions regarding appeals.
Due to the timing of the release of 2023 ratings, September 1, 2025 is the deadline for districts to notify families with students assigned to a campus included on the Final 2025-26 PEG List. Statute also stipulates that the notice must contain an explanation of the PEG program and how the parent may obtain further information about pursuing a transfer. District superintendents of schools on the 2025-2026 Final PEG list received additional communications from Performance Reporting on August 19, 2025.
Preliminary 2026-27 PEG List
Following the August 15, 2025 release of the 2025 Preliminary A–F Academic Accountability Ratings, campuses that received a 2025 preliminary overall scaled score less than 60 are on the Preliminary 2026–27 PEG List available on the Public Education Grant webpage. It is possible for a campus to be removed from the 2026–27 PEG list if a campus appeals its accountability rating and the appeal is successful. Notification of eligibility to families with students currently assigned to attend a campus on the 2026–27 PEG List is not required until February 1, 2026, after 2025 A–F Accountability ratings are final.
Please note that following the August 15, 2025, release of preliminary 2024 ratings, a 2024 PEG List has been posted as required by statute, but is not applicable to the 2025–26 school year due to the lawsuit that delayed the 2024 ratings release.
