More North Texas school districts have joined the fight against the Texas Education Agency’s new criteria for grading Texas schools.
Education Commissioner Mike Morath spoke at the Dallas Chamber’s State of Education conference in Dallas Tuesday where two of the superintendents now suing him were also speaking. He brought up the benefits of the accountability system overall but not the changes and left the stage before the superintendents walked up to speak.
"Let's do all the changes at one time, then you have one year where you have this 'what if' concept, where you communicate about and then otherwise everybody can still compare your performance pretty effectively," said Morath. "I would never have any evaluation of any member of my team based on previous evaluation criteria, and at the end of the period of time that I'm going to evaluate them sake, changed my mind, I'm going to evaluate you on something else," said Stephanie Elizalde, Superintendent, Dallas ISD
