BREAKING: A Waco federal judge has ruled Texas’ HB 900/READER Act unconstitutional & blocked the state from enforcing its requirement that schools remove books labeled “sexually explicit” by vendors.
This makes permanent a temp block that the 5th Circuit upheld. #txlege

On the eve of the #TxLege special session, let's talk about the inaccuracy of STAAR Reading Language Arts AI scoring, and how these errors provide undergraded results to students, parents, and teachers, that then propagate through the state's Accountability System.
