Education Commissioner issues ruling on 5th- and 8th-grade Math and Reading

Jun 13, 2016 | Community Relations
Lamar Consolidated Independent School District will continue to offer summer school and summer academic support. 

On June 10, 2016, Texas Commissioner of Education Mike Morath informed school districts that:

• There would not be a third opportunity in June for fifth- and eighth-graders, who previously did not meet passing standards on their STAAR assessments, to retake the STAAR Reading and Math; and
• School districts are not required to provide accelerated instruction (known as the Student Success Initiative, SSI) for these students.

While our District appreciates the Commissioner’s responsiveness to the challenges that have arisen with the state’s newly-contracted company responsible for STAAR testing, our students still need academic support to be successful in the coming year.
All summer school academic programming will continue as previously planned, as it will support your child’s successful mastery of the curriculum in the coming year. We look forward to serving your child as previously scheduled.

For students who did not meet the passing standard for 5th- and 8th-grade Mathematics and Reading STAAR assessments, the Commissioner left it to local discretion and the consideration of all “relevant and available academic information.”
 
For our Lamar CISD students, this will include the recommendation of the teacher, the student’s grade in each subject during the regular school year and progress during summer school.

If you have questions regarding the summer school academic programming, please contact your child's summer school or the summer school principal.

Thank you for working with us to provide the best possible education for your child.

Queridos padres de familia y tutores:

El Distrito Escolar de Lamar continuará ofreciendo Clases y Apoyo Académico de Verano. El 10 de junio de 2016, el Comisionado de Educación de Texas Mike Morath informó a los distritos escolares lo siguiente:

•  No habrá una tercera oportunidad en junio para los alumnos del quinto y octavo grado, que no cumplieron anteriormente con las normas de pase de las evaluaciones de STAAR, en Lectura y Matemáticas.
• Los distritos escolares no están obligados a proporcionar instrucción acelerada, conocida como Iniciativa de Éxito Estudiantil, SSI para estos estudiantes.
 
Aunque nuestro Distrito valora la respuesta de los desafíos del Comisario que han surgido recientemente con la empresa contratada por el estado responsable por las pruebas de STAAR, los estudiantes aun necesitan apoyo académico para tener éxito en el siguiente año.
 
Todo programa académica escolar de verano continuará como se ha planeado previamente, con esto nos encontraremos apoyando el dominio al éxito de su hijo en el programa de estudios del próximo año. Esperamos poder brindar los servicios a su hijo como se tiene previsto.

Para los estudiantes que no cumplieron con el estándar de aprobación del 5º y 8º grado en las  evaluaciones de Matemáticas y Lectura de STAAR, el Comisionado ha dejado a discreción local; el tomar en cuenta y considerar la "información académica disponible y relevante".
Con respecto a nuestros estudiantes― LCISD tomará en cuenta estas consideraciones incluyendo: la recomendación del maestro, la calificación del estudiante en cada materia durante el año escolar regular, así como el progreso durante la escuela de verano.

Si tiene alguna pregunta con respecto a la Programa Académica de la Escuela de Verano, por favor, póngase en contacto con la escuela de verano de su hijo o con el director de la escuela de verano.

Agradecemos su colaboración para que LCISD provee la mejor educación posible a su hijo.
