§ 39A.908. INTERVENTIONS AND SANCTIONS WHILE ASSIGNMENT OF PERFORMANCE RATINGS ENJOINED.
Status: in_force

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, during a period in which the agency is enjoined from assigning performance ratings to a school district, open-enrollment charter school, or district or school campus, any previously imposed interventions or sanctions to which the district, school, or campus is subject shall continue throughout that period.

(b) As soon as practicable after the dissolution of an injunction described by Subsection (a), the agency shall:

(1) assign performance ratings for each school year and to each school district, open-enrollment charter school, and district or school campus for which the agency was enjoined from assigning performance ratings; and

(2) as applicable, impose any appropriate interventions or sanctions authorized under this chapter based on the ratings assigned under Subdivision (1).

(c) Notwithstanding any other law, if the agency is permanently enjoined from assigning performance ratings to a school district, open-enrollment charter school, or district or school campus for a school year, the agency shall consider the district, school, or campus to have received a "Not Rated" rating for that school year for purposes of:

(1) calculating consecutive years of performance; and

(2) determining whether to impose an intervention or sanction authorized under this chapter.

(d) To ensure the expeditious implementation of interventions or sanctions under this chapter, the agency may modify or waive a deadline or time frame required by law or agency rule applicable to the assignment of performance ratings for a school year for which the agency was enjoined from assigning performance ratings.

(e) Except as provided by Subsection (f), the agency shall impose an intervention or sanction described by Subsection (b)(2) or (c)(2) as required by law unless the intervention or sanction, as determined by the commissioner:

(1) has been superseded by a subsequent intervention or sanction; or

(2) may be removed based on the subsequent performance of a school district, open-enrollment charter school, or district or school campus.

(f) The commissioner shall impose an intervention described by Section 12.115(c), 39A.004, or 39A.111, as applicable, on a school district, open-enrollment charter school, or district or school campus if the district, school, or campus would have been subject to commissioner action under the applicable section based on the performance rating of the district, school, or campus for a school year for which the agency was enjoined from assigning performance ratings, regardless of the performance of the district, school, or campus in a subsequent school year.

(g) Except as provided by Subsection (h), the commissioner shall revoke a charter holder's charter for an open-enrollment charter school for which the charter holder received a charter renewal based on the absence of a performance rating for a school year for which the agency was enjoined from assigning a performance rating if, after the assignment of performance ratings for that year, the charter would not have been renewed under Section 12.1141(d), regardless of the performance of the school in a subsequent school year.

(h) Subsection (g) does not apply to a charter holder for which the agency has renewed the charter based on the charter holder entering into and meeting the requirements of a performance agreement with the agency.
