Texas 2017 - 85th Regular

Texas Senate Bill SB1902

Caption

Relating to continued monitoring of certain public school campuses that have been assigned a campus intervention team.

Impact

The implementation of SB1902 will significantly affect schools that struggle with performance ratings, as it provides a mechanism for sustained intervention and improvement efforts. By emphasizing continued support from intervention teams, the bill aims to elevate educational standards within underperforming campuses. The potential for long-term monitoring serves not only to enhance immediate student achievement but also to cultivate an environment conducive to sustained improvement in the school's educational practices.

Summary

SB1902 pertains to the continued monitoring of specific public school campuses that have previously been assigned a campus intervention team. The bill amends Section 39.106(e) of the Education Code, which guides the oversight of schools that have not met acceptable performance standards according to state evaluations. This legislation mandates that a campus intervention team remains active in assisting a school until it meets the required performance standards for a defined period, thereby promoting academic improvement and ensuring accountability in public education.

Contention

One notable point of contention around SB1902 may revolve around the extent and nature of the intervention provided by these teams. Critics could argue about the balance between state oversight and local control, questioning whether external intervention is more beneficial than allowing schools to develop their remedial strategies. Furthermore, the bill could spark discussions about resource allocation and the effectiveness of intervention measures as some stakeholders might see it as either a protective measure to ensure student success or as additional bureaucracy hindering school autonomy.
