State Representative Jason Isaac (R-Dripping Springs) wants to include education reform on the agenda of the upcoming 85th legislative session of the Texas House of Representatives.
The major bill Isaac is pushing forward involves reforming the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test. The bill would allow school districts to select any nationally normed standardized test that meets Texas curriculum standards instead of the STAAR.
The STAAR exams have been in place since 2012 when lawmakers replaced the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test in public schools.
