232	232	SECTION 15. Sections 39.054(a) and (a-2), Education Code,
233	233	are amended to read as follows:
234	234	(a) The commissioner shall adopt rules to evaluate school
235	235	district and campus performance and assign each district and campus
236	236	an overall performance rating of A, B, C, D, or F. In addition to
237	237	the overall performance rating, the commissioner shall assign each
238	238	district and campus a separate domain performance rating of A, B, C,
239	239	D, or F for each domain under Section 39.053(c). [An overall or
240	240	domain performance rating of A reflects exemplary performance. An
241	241	overall or domain performance rating of B reflects recognized
242	242	performance. An overall or domain performance rating of C reflects
243	243	acceptable performance. An overall or domain performance rating of

253	253	district assigned performance rating under Section 39.0544. [A

255	255	includes an overall or domain performance rating of A, B, C, or D or
256	256	performance that is exemplary, recognized, or acceptable
257	257	performance or performance that needs improvement.]
258	258	(a-2) The commissioner by rule may adopt procedures to
259	259	ensure that a repeated performance rating of D or F [or
260	260	unacceptable] in one domain, particularly performance that is not
261	261	significantly improving, is reflected in the overall performance
262	262	rating of a district or campus under this section or a campus under
263	263	Section 39.0544 and is not compensated for by a performance rating
264	264	of A, B, or C in another domain.
265	265	SECTION 16. Section 39.101, Education Code, as added by
266	266	Chapter 807 (H.B. 22), Acts of the 85th Legislature, Regular

284	284	(b) The interventions and sanctions provided by this
285	285	chapter [subchapter] based on failure to satisfy performance
286	286	standards under Section 39.054(e) apply to a district or campus

319	319	if the school campus submits to the commissioner a written plan
320	320	showing steps that will be taken to ensure that the exemption from
321	321	the class size limits will not be harmful to the academic
322	322	achievement of the students on the school campus. The commissioner
323	323	shall review achievement levels annually. The exemption remains in
324	324	effect until the commissioner determines that achievement levels of
