How is the TEA identifying students in grade 12 during SY 2023-24 who received course credit during Spring/and or Summer 2020 and received the EOC COVID waiver and are required to take the corresponding subject area SAT or ACT while in high school and will they be included on the Accelerated Tester list?

For students that completed an EOC test prior to SY 2019-20, TEA used relevant Consolidated Accountability Files (CAF) to identify accelerated testers. For students that were granted COVID waivers during SY 2019-20, TEA has used course completion data to determine which students are accelerated testers. Students that earned course credit in an advanced course during Spring or Summer 2020 will be included on the Preliminary Accelerated Tester list.
