Request a district decision.An examinee should contact the school district where he or she was last enrolled torequest a district decision regarding whether the examinee qualifies to graduate and receive a high schooldiploma.More details about this option can be found in Senate Bill 463.85th Texas Leaislature.ReqularSession,2017.More information about this option can be found in Texas Administrative Code(TAC)74.1027  \n2.  Achieve satisfactory performance on an alternate assessment.The alternate assessments allowed for TAKS areSAT,ACT,TSI,and STAAR.Former TAKS,TAAS,and TEAMS examinees should take only the appropriate partof the alternate assessment he or she needs to fulfill testing graduation requirements.More information isavailable in the Texas Administrative Code §101.4003.  \nThe Texas Education Agency(TEA)has developed the State of Texas Assessments of Academic ReadinessAlternate(STAARI Alternate 2)to meet the federal requirements mandated under the Elementary and SecondaryEducation Act(ESEA),a federal education law reauthorized as the No Child Left Behind law.STAAR Alternate 2 isdesigned for the purpose of assessing students in grades 3-8 and high school who have significant cognitivedisabilities and are receiving special education services.  \nIOWA is a norm-referenced achievement test that measures students'academic achievement in reading,writing,language arts,mathematics,science,and social studies.  \nLogramos is a norm-referenced achievement test for students whose primary language of instruction is Spanish.Itmeasures students'academic achievement in reading,language arts,mathematics,science,and social studies.  \nTELPAS is designed to measure the English language proficiency of K-12 English Language Learners in fourlanguage domains:listening,speaking,reading and writing.  \nTEA has developed the TELPAS Altemate(TELPAS Alt)assessment to meet the federal requirements mandatedunder the Every Student Succeeds Act(ESSA),which requires states to administer an alternate English languageproficiency(ELP)assessment for English learners(ELs)with the most significant cognitive disabilities who cannotparticipate in the general ELP assessment,even with allowable accommodations.  \nThe CogAT measures reasoning and problem-solving skills in three different areas:verbal,quantitative,andnonverbal.Reasoning skills develop gradually throughout a person's lifetime and at different rates for differentindividuals.Reasoning abilities are good predictors of success in school and are important outcomes of goodschooling.CogAT does not measure such factors as effort,attention,motivation,and work habits,which alsocontribute importantly to school achievement.  \nRev.05/31/2022  \n# HOUSTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTTITLEI.PART A","cbCaipMGFu9rbDXl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipMGFu9rbDXl","pdf",82791,"English","# Explanation and Description of Assessments\n## Overview of ESSA assessment requirements\n## Transition from TAKS to STAAR\n## High school graduation options for former TAKS students\n## Alternate assessments and eligibility\n## Additional assessments used at Mark White Elementary","[{\"question\":\"What assessment programs are required under ESSA for parents?\",\"answer\":\"ESSA requires Title I schools to provide parents with an explanation of the academic assessment forms used to measure student progress.\"},{\"question\":\"How has Texas testing changed from TAKS to STAAR?\",\"answer\":\"STAAR replaced TAKS in the Spring of 2012.
