Q: When the 2023-24 TAPR is published, does a public hearing take place?
A: Yes, statute requires that each district's board of trustees hold a public hearing to discuss the district's annual report. The TAPR is part of a district's annual report.

Q: Do the campus accountability rating and distinction designations need to be printed on the student's report card?
A: This is a local decision. The law states that the first written notice of a student's performance that a school district gives during a school year must include a statement of whether the campus at which the student is enrolled has been awarded a distinction designation or has been identified as an unacceptable campus. Districts may choose to print this information on the student’s report card or provide this information via an insert or link to TXschools.gov or the 2023 Accountability Ratings System webpage.
Q: The first report the campus sends home is not a report card but a status report. Does the accountability information need to be provided at that time?
A: The statutory language is: "The first written notice of a student’s performance...." The district will have to make the decision in relation to the content of the status report. The first report sent that applies to all students and contains an evaluation of their academic performance in all subjects should be used.
