O'Brien Defends HB 2804 Against Grading Bills in Texas
Superintendent O'Brien objects to Senate Bill 6 which would grade all Texas schools A through F. He promotes HB 2804 as a multi domain evaluation including assessment, post secondary prep, community engagement, and SAT or ACT data. He cites Goose Creek CISD achievements and criticizes vouchers as segregation, urging public involvement and resources on education policy.
