AISD Will NOT Meet AYP
Results: TAKS
Need 70% of special education students on each campus taking and passing the the non-modified assessment.
Consequences to a ‘modified’ assessment decision:If the child takes a modified assessment, they are automatically1) Graduating on a minimum plan2) Loose all access to a 4 year college3) 3rd grade sets the stage for the child’s life4) 9th grade is generally too late to change to a
non modified assessment5) ‘Pobrecito’ versus high expectations
