2018 Appeals Timeline

Date Activity

August 15 Ratings Released on TEA Public Website

August 14–

September 14

2018 Appeals Window. Appeals may be submitted by the superintendent or chief

operating officer once ratings are released. Districts and charter schools register

their intent to appeal using the TEASE Accountability application and mail their

appeal letter with supporting documentation.

September 14Appeals Deadline. Appeals must be postmarked or hand-delivered no later than

September 14, 2018, 5:00 p.m. CDT, to be considered.

DecemberDecisions Released. Commissioner’s decisions are mailed in the form of response

letters to each district and charter school that filed an appeal by the September 14 deadline. Letters are also posted to the TEASE Accountability application.

DecemberRatings Update. The outcomes of all appeals are reflected in the ratings update

scheduled for December 2018. The TEASE and public websites are updated.


▪ Districts and charter schools may appeal for any reason. However, the

accountability system requires that the rules be applied uniformly.

Therefore, requests for exceptions to the rules for a district, charter

school, or campus are viewed unfavorably and will most likely be

denied.

▪ Districts and charter schools may appeal any overall or domain rating

and any campus overall or domain rating of Improvement Required.

▪ The basis for appeals should be a data or calculation error attributable

to TEA, an ESC, or the testing contractor(s). The appeals process is not

an appropriate method to correct data that were inaccurately

reported by the district.

2018 Appeals Process


▪ Rescoring. If a district or charter school requests its writing results be

rescored and the rescored results impact the rating, the district or

charter school must provide a copy of the dated request to the testing

contractor(s) and the outcome of the rescored tests with the appeal.

These appeals are necessary because rescored results may not be

processed in time to be included in the assessment data used to

determine the accountability ratings released by August 15, 2018.

▪ Other Issues. If other serious issues are found, copies of correspondence

with the testing contractor(s), the regional ESC, or TEA should be

provided with the appeal.

2018 Special Circumstance Appeals


▪ Online Testing Interruptions. Appeals based on STAAR online testing

issues must include documentation of the interruption.

▪ TSIA Data. A district rated B–F or campus rated Improvement Required

because of mismatches in the student-identifying information between

the TSIA data files (used in the College, Career, and Military Readiness

component) and the TEA 2017 annual graduates file, may submit an

appeal. Sufficient documentation of student-identifying information

and TSI assessment scores should be included.



▪ Years in U.S. Schools. Districts and charter schools should include

documentation demonstrating that using prior-spring TELPAS records for

students taking EOCs in summer or fall would result in a higher

accountability rating.
