Analytic Tool: IBC Analytic Tool Now Available
The IBC Analytic Tool is now available, providing enhanced access to certification attainment data, including analysis of certifications earned and Industry-Based Certification tiers. Stakeholders can filter by region, district and campus, as well as student demographics. The IBC Analytic Tool reports all Industry-Based Certifications (IBC) earned by the Class of 2025 annual graduates, regardless of the graduates’ CTE status. The counts of IBCs earned, as shown in this report, may differ from the IBCs that count for CCMR credit in accountability, as shown in the 2026 CCMR accountability report. This difference is because IBCs only count for CCMR credit in 2026 accountability if a graduate is a Concentrator or Completer in an aligned program of study.
 As a reminder, TPRS now contains data related to IBC Tiers. In the CCMR Report, under the Career Ready Graduates section, stakeholders may review the percentages of 2025 annual graduates who earned an approved Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 IBC and Concentrator or higher in an aligned program of study. Please note that TPRS does not include data corrected through PEIMS Working Submissions used in accountability reports and calculations. Please refer to the TPRS Glossary for additional details and methodology related to this data.

CCMR Outcomes Bonus Early Counts
The College, Career, or Military Readiness Outcomes Bonus (CCMR OB) Early Counts student listing for the Class of 2025 graduates is now available on the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application. A public report of the counts by district and CCMR OB Explanation of Methodology and Sources document are posted on the Performance Reporting Resources webpage.
The purpose of the CCMR OB funding is to reward school systems for not only preparing students for college, a career, and the military, but for students taking the next step in their career planning by enrolling in postsecondary institutions, completing a credential, and/or enlisting in the military, as defined in Texas Education Code, §48.110 and Title 19 of Texas Administrative Code, §74.1007.
CCMR Outcomes Bonuses are paid annually for the accomplishments of graduates above a certain percentage threshold across three specific student groups: economically disadvantaged, non-economically disadvantaged, and students served in special education programs.
Early counts include graduates who met TSI criteria, earned associate degrees or IBCs, and those who enrolled in postsecondary institutions immediately after high school but do not yet include data from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) for postsecondary institution enrollment. For information on CCMR Outcomes Bonus thresholds, readiness criteria, and funding please reference the To the Administrators Addressed Correspondence on CCMR Outcomes Bonus for 2025 Graduates Early Counts.
