Education leaders in the Texas House criticized the rollout of the STAAR standardized test citing sloppy implementation and concerns about 9th graders falling behind. The Public Education Committee heard from superintendents urging removal of the 15 percent grade weighting rule and noted districts budgeting extra summer school as many students struggle with the new test. Texas Education Agency data show low passing rates under final standards across biology algebra English writing reading and world geography. The committee acknowledged ongoing efforts to improve statewide accountability while preserving the reform aims.
