System Safeguards
State Accountability System Guiding Principles…
“The system uses safeguards to minimize unintended consequences “
System Safeguards: Why do we have them?
Two-fold purpose:
1. Act as a safety net to ensure that poor performance in one area or one student group is not masked in the performance index.

System Safeguards: Why do we have them?
Two-fold purpose:
1. Act as a safety net to ensure that poor performance in one area or one student group is not masked in the performance index.
2. To meet additional federal accountability requirements that are not addressed in the performance index. Participation (ELA & Math)

System Safeguards: Implications
• System Safeguards sit outside of the rating system and do not change the rating, however;
• For Campuses/Districts with Met Standard rating, every “N” must be addressed in the campus or district improvement plan
• For Campuses/Districts in Improvement Required, every “N” must be incorporated into that improvement effort
Accountability System Design
System Safeguards• Pass/Fail with threshold
of 50%
• Same requirements for not meeting
• STAAR and EOC altogether
• ALL STAAR assessments
• TAKS
PBMAS Performance Levels• Sliding Scale with Levels:
(PL0 and PL1 not staged)
• Requirements for not meeting depend on PL
• Separate indicators for 3-8 and EOC
• Not full-range of STAAR
• No TAKS
