Federal Report Card Dissemination Requirement
Dissemination Requirement
Each school system that receives Title I, Part A funding is responsible for disseminating the state-, school system- and campus-level report cards to 1) all school system campuses, 2) parents of all enrolled students, and 3) the general public via widely available public means, such as posting on the Internet, distribution to the media, or distribution through public agencies.
At minimum, the school system must -
- Post direct links to pdf files of the State, school system, and campus report cards on its web site;
- Notify parents of all students about the availability of the report cards and the options for obtaining them;
- Provide appropriate translation (either oral or written) upon request;
- Make hard copies available to parents upon request; and
- Make hard copies available for viewing in public locations.
Sample parent notification letters in English and Spanish that school systems may customize are available on the TEA Federal Report Card Web Page. TEA strongly encourages school systems to translate the sample letter in a language and format that all parents can understand.
School systems are not required to use the sample parent notification letters, but they must make the federal report card information readily accessible to the public, and school systems must notify parents of the availability of the federal report card information no later than Wednesday, March 11, 2026.
As per recent guidance from the US Department of Education, each school system shall have the federal report cards posted on its website for a minimum of 3 years.
Questions related to the dissemination requirement should be directed to the Federal Program Compliance Division at ESSASupport@tea.texas.gov.
