Texas Association of School Boards (TASB)
On March 31, the TASB Board of Directors voted unanimously to support a resolution calling on Texas legislators to reexamine the public school accountability system and develop a system that more accurately reflects what students know.
The resolution, initiated by school districts involved in the North Texas Regional Consortium and promoted by the Texas Association of School Administrators, has been adopted by about 230 Texas school districts -- with many more taking up the resolution in board meetings this month.
The TASB Board agreed that the current accountability system is "strangling our public schools and undermining any chance that educators have to transform a traditional system of schooling into a broad range of learning experiences that better prepares our students to live successfully and be competitive on a global stage."
The resolution has already garnered national coverage, which can be found on TASA's EduSlate blog.
