| TX | Signed into law 06/2001 | P-12 | Texas law defines a "student at risk of dropping out of school" by age
rather than grade level for students in grade levels higher than seventh

dropping out of school," and sets forth guidelines for administering and
funding of a compensatory and accelerated instruction program in public

| IN | Signed into law 05/2001 | P-12 | Section formerly required each school to develop staff performance evaluation plan that would examine each employee's performance. New language requires each school's staff performance evaluation plan to evaluate "the school's and the school's educators' performance." Former language said evaluation of employees' performance should be based on separate teacher and administrator performance indicators such as the development of parental involvement, student performance on assessments and the teacher's attendance rates for teachers; and student attendance and graduation rates, teacher/student ratio and classroom expenditures per student for administrators. New language deletes these requirements, replacing them with evaluation of performance based on the school's students' performance improvement level including student performance on assessment programs, graduation rates, student SAT scores, and local board-developed standards consistent with state academic standards and student performance improvement levels. Eliminates requirement that local board staff performance evaluation plan provide that teachers be evaluated twice each school year. Specifies that existing sections of code requiring every public school teacher to be employed on a statewide, unamended, uniform teacher's contract apply only to certified district employees. Specifies that a teacher's students' performance improvement levels on state assessment may be used as a factor, but not the only factor, to evaluate a teacher's performance.

| IN | Signed into law 05/2001 | P-12 | Eliminates language that defined "expected [school] performance level" by student attendance rates, remediation rates, assessment scores and graduation rates; replaces it with definition of "student performance improvement level" which refers to "improvement in student academic achievement established by the board," which must be at least as rigorous as the performance improvement level set by state board. Changes sections relating to school performance to reflect change from school performance objectives to student improvement levels. Specifies that board assessment and evaluation of education programs offered by the district must be on annual basis, and that assessment must consider the students' status regarding achieving student performance improvement levels. Replaces language requiring board to establish annual performance objectives for each school with language requiring board to establish annual student performance improvement levels for each school that are at least as rigorous as state board student performance improvement levels.

| NM | Vetoed 04/2001 | P-12 | Relates to annual school accountability reporting.

Districts must give a nationally norm-referenced test, standards-based or performance-based assessment to all students enrolled in a public school or state institution in grades four (changed from grade three) through nine. Students with disabilities must participate in the test as determined on their individual education program. Students who have been assessed as non-English or limited English proficient using state-approved language assessments and meeting required thresholds shall be provided an alternative norm-referenced, performance-based or standards-based assessment in their primary language.
