Nearly 40,000 K-12 students have tested positive for COVID-19 since the winter break #txlege

~FORTY. THOUSAND. TEXAS. STUDENTS.

~TWENTY. THOUSAND. TEXAS. EDUCATORS.

Where are the crosstabs?

Where is the outcomes data?

Is TEA collecting this data?

[AVL @AVLeClair]

Not a single state publishes demographic cross-tabs for K-12 COVID-19 cases.

For ex: #Texas reporting > 37,000 STUDENT CASES since returning from winter break (4wks).

Is there disproportionate racial/ethnic impact? Students with Disabilities? Language Learners?

No idea.

More than 1 million #Texas public school students are #bilingual. Just over 21,000 #teachers have earned a bilingual cert: a 48:1 student to teacher ratio. #TXHD124 @vote4ina had the lowest ratio at 14:1in 2017. #TXHD8 and #TxHD31 were only districts w/over 200:1. #txed #txlege

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

1 in 5 #Texas public school students is an #EnglishLanguageLearner. Of schools with more than 10 students, 363 have identified and were serving zero ELLs in 2017. Of campuses with at least 100 students enrolled, nearly 600 claimed an #ELL pop at or less than 1%. #txed #txlege

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

65 #Texas schools (w/teachers) reported their avg. teacher experience lvl as less than one year (Beginning Teachers). 71% of those schools served a greater % of #ecodisad students than the state avg. of 59%. 59 (91%) were charter schools. #txed #txlege

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

10% of #Texas Public Schools reported 0 #SPED Credentialed FTEs in 2017. Breaking that down further: 8% of traditional public schools reported 0 #SpecialEd Certificated staff, and 35% of charter schools reported 0 #SpecialEducation staff. #txed #txlege #txsped

122 #Texas House Districts had at least one school in which a #Kindergarten class size avg. exceeded 22- the pupil cap. Two, #TXHD27 @ronereynolds & #TXHD46 @DawnnaDukes, repped schools with avg. #Kinder class sizes of 37 and ~43, respectively. #txed #txlege #Austin #MissouriCity

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

note: Kindergarten class size data was not available for El Paso Independent School District. #TXHD77 @lina4texas was the most impacted by this absence, and was not included in the analysis.

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

19 @TexasHouse Districts serve over 4k #Texas #sped students each. That number is split ~ evenly between Low & High #SES. #TXHD117 @CortezPhilip & #TXHD33 @justinaholland serve over 5K w/ SPED:SPED Cert FTE ratios 28:1 & 33:1, respectively. #txlege #txed #SanAntonio #Rockwall

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

Texas Gifted & Talented cert teacher creds are clustered unevenly between @TexasHouse districts. 29 #Texas districts reported <10 #GT FTEs. Smallest ratio exists in #TXHD51 @EddieforTexas @ 12:1. Next door in #TXHD49 @GinaForAustin 0 GT FTEs for 1750 GT students. #Austin #txed

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

In AY2017 six @TexasHouse Districts had #sped student to #specialed certificated teacher ratios greater than 30:1. At 40:1 #txhd128 @BriscoeCain was sig higher than any other.

@GeneforTexas Poverty may go some distance in explaining the the identification of #GT students. Perhaps a more important disparity between the #Houston districts is the #SPED student to SPED Certificated Teacher Ratios. 137 @ 26:1. 134 @ 6:1. #txed #txlege

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

Where #TXHD134 @SarahforHD134 & #TXHD137 @GeneforTexas differ in these few miles are in identified #GT students. 4.5% of students were identified #gifted in 137's schools. In 134, 29% of students (the greatest share in the state) are identified GT. Statewide stat is 7.8%. #txlege

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

Texas House Districts 134 & 137 are mere miles from one another in #Houston. Both rep the smallest share of #sped students in #Texas- each under 5.5%. That is sig below statewide share of 8.8% of all Texas public students (In 2017, still operating under arb cap of 8.5%). #txed

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

59% of Texas Public School Students were identified #EcoDisad in AY2017. 61 of 150 @TexasHouse Districts represented similar shares (+/- 10% points). 27 Districts at 80% economically disadvantaged or above, and 7 rep shares of at or below 20%. #txed #txlege

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

In acute contrast, #TXHD37 @ReneOOliveira represents the second greatest number of Texas students at over 41,000. ~93% of District 47's Texas public school students were economically disadvantaged last year, the greatest share of any TX House district. #Brownsville #txlege #txed

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

In AY2017 an extreme disparity existed in both the total number of #Texas public school students & the share of economically disadvantaged students between @TexasHouse Districts. In #TXHD47 @PaulWorkman reps just more than 3K public students. Wherein, 11% are #ecodisad. #Austin

[TX School Directory @txschooldirect]

With 22 #charterschools in #txhd46, whoever wins the seat in November, will inherit the #Texas House district with the greatest number of charter school campuses in operation. #txlege #txed #Austin @SherylCole1 @chitovela3 @GabrielNila

The most recent (2016-2017) #Texas House District Data is complete. Texas education #TAPR statistics for all 150 @TexasHouse Districts were thoroughly broken down, and we'll be tweeting out figures regarding significant inter-district findings. #txlege #txed
