This year, a staggering 37% of the STAAR Extended Constructed Response (ECR) essays that Alpine ISD submitted for rescoring were originally scored *incorrectly* by the state’s AI grading system.

And by "incorrectly," I mean: underscored.

Y'all. 37%! 😲

Kingsville ISD switched to a shortened school week this year. Here's how it's going. https://t.co/isL35VzCjl

😲Vouchers died AGAIN 84-63! Note that every session that the Governor calls to try to pass vouchers costs you the tax payers 1.3 MILLION Dollars💰. The record for vouchers is 0-4. Governor has vowed to continue calling Special Sessions to try to pass vouchers. That’s ANOTHER 1.3 million every time. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤮#parents #students #schools

It's a pleasure to add school board members to the discussion as we near the end of the special session in the Texas legislature. Join me for part 2 of my chat with @GoMightyBrahmas Superintendent @PerezCissy, and school board VP Mr. Joe Mireles. Episode link 👇

Last week, an Austin judge blocked the release of @teainfo's A-F accountability grades for school districts. My guest on TPF is @GoMightyBrahmas @PerezCissy, the bold leader that began this movement in an effort ot support her district and kids. Join us to her the story👇

[Dr. Cissy Reynolds-Perez @PerezCissy]

👉🏼Words from Waco, Temple, Lindale superintendents. It’s NOT about the A or an F. It’s about the fact that schools were not being graded accurately no matter where they stand. It was meant to paint a FALSE narrative about ALL public schools. That’s not fair to students, teachers, communities.☝🏼

[Dr. Cissy Reynolds-Perez @PerezCissy]

✅✏️All it took was one to start a movement to unveil the facts about TEA’s A-F Refresh Rating system. Proud of Kingsville ISD and ALL districts who have joined us! Thank you for this article and to all of the others who are chronicling our journey. It’s about kids, teachers, communities.💛🖤🤘🏼🙏🏼 @The88thTxlege #publicschools @tasanet @RYHTexas @TALAS4edu

The petition was first started by Kingsville ISD and has gained support from several other districts throughout the state. https://t.co/oMuBVTVASX

✝️On this Sunday, I reflect on this week when many people mentioned the story of David & Goliath to me. Coincidentally these popped up on my phone. 🙏🏼

[KIII 3 News @kiii3news]

School districts contend that the change to the TEA's rating system would lower scores for some schools, giving the perception that they are under performing. https://t.co/vmzqbK1o1u

[Dr. Cissy Reynolds-Perez @PerezCissy]

The A-F “Refresh” will squash these great results. It’s simply not fair to “Refresh” at the same time of “Redesign” and for cohorts that have ALREADY graduated. It’s like changing the rules during the game. It’s simply not fair to teachers, students, districts, and communities.

[Dr. Cissy Reynolds-Perez @PerezCissy]

😲As we plan for next school year’s innovative 4.5 day calendar, I thank our community partners for stepping up to support us!!💛🖤 It takes a village! @GoMightyBrahmas #publicschools
