22. NCPA - Study #144 - Report Card On Texas Schools In general, the more time minority students spend in school, the worse they do relative to Another area in which the texas public schools are especially http://www.ncpa.org/studies/s144/s144.html

NATIONAL CENTER FOR POLICY ANALYSIS HOME DONATE ONE LEVEL UP ABOUT NCPA ... CONTACT Report Card On Texas Schools Executive Summary The Best and the Worst in 1989 This report is based on academic tests administered to more than 1,400,000 Texas school children in more than 1,000 school districts in the 1988-89 academic year. The Texas Educational Assessment of Minimum Skills (TEAMS) tests measure student performance in the areas of reading, writing and mathematics for students in grades 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9; and in the areas of mathematics and language arts for students in grade 11. A passing grade on the TEAMS tests represents a minimum acceptable standard of performance for studies in the Texas public schools. Students who fail the exit level (eleventh grade) tests are not eligible to receive a Texas high school diploma.[1] It is important to note that a passing grade on the TEAMS tests is not the only goal - or even the most important goal - of Texas public schools. Instead, a passing grade on the TEAMS tests is a minimum standard, below which performance is judged unacceptable. In this report, we publish the percent of ninth grade students passing all three TEAMS tests in all school districts in the state of Texas, with the exception of those districts in which 25 or fewer students took the exam. [2] The ninth grade results were selected because this is the highest grade level at which three separate tests are administered. The 52 school districts which are designated as "best" are the districts in which at least 85 percent of the ninth graders taking the tests passed in all three subject areas. The 37 districts which are designated as "worst" are those districts in which fewer than 40 percent of the students taking the tests passed in all three subject areas.

1998 Texas School Survey of Substance Use Among Students: Grades 4–6 Executive Summary by Lynn S. Wallisch, Ph.D. and Liang Y. Liu, Ph.D. These documents are available in Adobe PDF format: executive summary (9 pgs. 183 KB), full report (69 pgs. 654.5 KB), and the survey instrument only (4 pgs. 55KB). Patterns of Substance Use In 1998, about 26 percent of all elementary students in Texas had used tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, and/or marijuana during the past school year; 36 percent reported using some type of substance in their lifetime. This translates into a figure of about 324,000 elementary students who have tried substances and about 234,000 who have used them during the past school year. Substance use increased with grade level, especially between fifth and sixth grades. About 20 percent of fourth graders, 25 percent of fifth graders, and 34 percent of sixth graders had used a substance in the past school year (Figure 1). Alcohol was the most widely used substance among elementary students, followed by tobacco. Marijuana was used by only a small percentage of elementary students, but rates of use have increased since 1992 (Figure 2).

U.S. report spots intelligence failure Texas schools renew call for affirmative action Larry Faulkner, president of the University of Texas' 50,000-student flagship campus at Austin, said the changes could be in place this fall for applicants for the 2004-2005 school year. The other schools in the 170,000-student UT system would probably follow Austin's lead. Affirmative action "gets to the heart of what we try to accomplish as an institution," Mr. Faulkner said. "It's important for us to have strong representation here of students from all sectors of society." Earlier this week, the Supreme Court upheld affirmative action at universities, endorsing the notion that diversity on campus makes for a more just society. The court struck down a race-based point system for undergraduate admissions at the University of Michigan as too rigid, but it upheld the more individualized policy at the university's law school. Mr. Faulkner did not give details of how race will be added back into the equation. Any such changes would probably not require legislative approval, but must be compatible with Texas' "Top 10 Percent" admissions law.

31. TCER: Technology Use In Texas Schools On The Rise - Texas Lonestar - May 2003 In general, survey findings suggest a need for additional research on student technology use and impact differences in texas schools. http://www.tasb.org/texas_lonestar/2003/may/tcr_great_strides.shtml

Volume 21 • Number 4 May 2003 TCER Report ‘Making Great Strides’ TCER: Technology Use in Texas Schools on the Rise District recipients of federal grants to increase technology use in schools have shared their perceptions in two reports recently released by the Texas Center for Educational Research (TCER). The research primarily assessed the state’s progress in meeting the national technology goals and implementing Texas’ long-range plan for technology. Congress created the Technology Literacy Challenge Fund (TLCF) with a goal of improving effective use of educational technology in K-12 schools. Texas applied for and received TLCF grants in each of the available five years (1997 to 2001), with grants totaling more than $150 million. TCER subsequently received a contract from the Texas Education Agency to gauge the effectiveness of Texas’ TLCF grant program, the Technology Integration in Education (TIE) Initiative. Reports on case studies and statewide surveys were shared in March 2003 with legislators, State Board of Education members, and directors of the regional education service centers (ESCs). Full versions of these reports are available on the TCER Web Site at www.tcer.org

HOUSTON - Crystal Gonzalez, 17, gave up on high school in Houston's East End neighborhood earlier this year. She never made it past ninth-grade. ''They told me there was no hope. It would take me so many years to graduate,'' said Gonzalez, held back twice at Channelview High School because of poor attendance. ''They told me it would be better for me to get my GED. They probably had other students that needed to be in school more.'' She left a system that doesn't consider her a dropout since she is working toward a General Equivalency Diploma. Some say Texas schools are nudging out low performing students who may drag down standardized test scores.

40. Land Office Shortchanges Texas Schools overarching question about the performance of Dewhurst and the general Land Office that fund, in turn, supports elementary and secondary schools in texas. http://www.texascivilrightsproject.org/Op-Ed/2001/Land_Office_shortchanges_T.htm

August 1, 2001 Land Office shortchanges Texas schools The trial evidence was undisputed that the GLO has failed to collect some $60 to $100 million in royalties on Dewhurst's watch James C. Harrington Daily Texan Guest Columnist In last month's whistleblower trial against Land Commissioner David Dewhurst, the jury decided he had not fired the head of the audit royalty collection division for reporting a violation of the law. However, the trial raised a more overarching question about the performance of Dewhurst and the General Land Office than the limited issue the jury decided. That question is: Why is Dewhurst letting multinational gas and oil companies get away without paying all that the law requires? Almost every dollar in royalties that GLO collects goes to the school land fund. Interest on that fund, in turn, supports elementary and secondary schools in Texas. When the multinationals pocket millions of dollars of undeserved royalties, Texans have to pay more to fund their schools. That, in turn, means higher property taxes and lower quality schools. Dewhurst's failure to enforce the law hurts Texas school children and taxpayers.
