Dozens of school districts in North Texas say they’re fighting back against the Texas Education Agency’s new accountability ratings system.
At the Dallas Regional Chamber’s annual State of Public Education event Tuesday, keynote speaker TEA Commissioner Mike Morath told attendees that publicly reporting A – F scores of schools is not just a good idea, its effectiveness has been studied methodically.
“Having high expectations in that accountability system causes children to earn more money when they’re in their twenties,” he said.”It is hard work. There’s nothing about this that is easy, but it’s the most important work that we do.”
