Student & Community Engagement Performance Eval

Criteria for House Bill 5: Evaluation of Performance in Community and Student Engagement

What is House Bill 5?

House Bill 5 (HB 5) of the 83rd Texas Legislature Regular Session added Section 39.0545

to the Texas Education Code (TEC). TEC § 39.0545 requires that each school district

assign ratings of exemplary, recognized, acceptable, or unacceptable for the district and

for each campus on both overall performance and each of nine factors.

On which nine factors will the district and campuses be evaluated?

The following factors will be evaluated and a rating will be assigned to each factor. An

overall rating for the district and each campus must also be assigned.

1. Fine arts

2. Wellness and physical education

3. Community and parental involvement

4. The 21st Century Workforce Development program

5. The second language acquisition program

6. The digital learning environment

7. Dropout prevention strategies

8. Educational programs for gifted and talented students

9. The record of the district and each campus regarding compliance with statutory reporting requirements

When will this take effect?

This law applies beginning with the 2013-2014 school year. Ratings must be reported to

the Texas Education Agency (TEA) by August 8 each year.

What are the rating labels for each factor?

Rating labels for Factors 1 through 8 and for the overall campus/district rating are:

Exemplary, Recognized, Acceptable, Unacceptable or Not Applicable. A rating label of Yes

or No will be assigned for Factor 9, compliance with statutory reporting requirements.

Community and Student Engagement ratings are locally determined and not currently part of the state accountability rating system or the financial accountability rating system—known as the School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST).

Beginning with the 2017–2018 school year, Community and Student Engagement Ratings will be 10% of every district’s and campus’s academic accountability rating. Schools will also be required to choose three categories to be used to calculate the 10%. The following categories acknowledged with an (*) were selected by Navasota School and the District.
