TEA Support Ticket – Refusal Without Testing Permitted

Facebook has decided to block a direct link to this document for reasons only their algorithm know.  So I am placing it in this article for your use and review.  This confirms again that the TEA does not require schools to put the assessment in front of your kid.  It does not require that they “present” the child with the assessment on the day of the assessment.  They CAN accept your refusal.  The question is: WHY does your district refuse to do this.

This document was received directly from the TEA via Public Information Act request in April 2024.
