Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Each school year, the Texas Education
					 Agency (TEA) will issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) to solicit proposals
					 from qualified non-profit management entities to assume the management of
					 campuses identified for sanction under §
											97.1067
					 of this title (relating to Alternative Management of Campuses). The
					 commissioner of education may solicit proposals from qualified for-profit
					 entities to assume management of a campus subject to this section if a
					 non-profit entity has not responded to the RFQ.
(1) To be approved as a provider of
					 alternative campus management services, a non-profit entity must meet the
					 requirements of Texas Education Code (TEC), §
												39.107,
					 and any additional qualifications and procedural requirements specified by the
					 TEA in the RFQ.
(2) The
					 commissioner may appoint a school district in the same education service center
					 region as the campus to provide alternative management services under this
					 section. A district appointed under this subsection shall assume management of
					 the campus in the same manner as a non-profit entity.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) If a school district, open-enrollment
					 charter school, or campus thereof does not exhibit improvement in student
					 performance, the commissioner of education may increase the intensity of
					 intervention and sanction that would otherwise be required by statute or rule,
					 including ordering campus closure, school district annexation, or appointment
					 of a board of managers for the school district or open-enrollment charter
					 school.
(b) For purposes of this
					 section, improvement means an increase in the scaled score for the overall
					 academic performance rating under Texas Education Code (TEC), Chapter
					 39.
(c) The commissioner may
					 exercise authority under this section when:
(1) a school district, open-enrollment
					 charter school, or campus thereof has exceeded statutory or rule limits on
					 consecutive years of poor performance, excluding any transition provisions
					 allowed under statute or rule;
(2)
					 circumstances suggest that the lack of improvement requires an increased level
					 of intervention or sanction, even if the performance in a school year would not
					 otherwise count toward consecutive years of unacceptable performance that would
					 be considered in determining the level of intervention or sanction;
					 or
(3) the commissioner determines
					 that increasing the intensity of intervention and sanction would better fulfill
					 the purposes of accreditation statuses and accreditation sanctions established
					 under §
												97.1053(a)
					 of this title (relating to Purpose).

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Students with
					 disabilities residing in residential facilities (RFs) are a unique and
					 vulnerable population that often has limited access to family members who can
					 advocate for their educational needs. Accordingly, the commissioner of
					 education hereby establishes the Residential Facility Monitoring (RFM) system,

					 special education monitoring obligations under 34 Code of Federal Regulations
					 §300.149 and §300.600 and Texas Education Code (TEC), §29.010,
					 for this population. The definition of an RF for purposes of the RFM system
					 will be included in the Residential Facility Monitoring (RFM) Manual provided
					 in subsection (f) of this section. Districts serving students with disabilities
					 residing in RFs located within the districts' geographic boundaries and/or
					 jurisdictions will be subject to the RFM system. These districts are referred
					 to as RF districts.
(b) RF
					 districts shall report data, as directed by the TEA, in a data collection
					 system accessible through the TEA secure website.
(c) The commissioner shall determine which RF
					 districts will be subject to RFM activities based on a review of available
					 information according to the following general criteria or other factors set
					 forth in the Residential Facility Monitoring (RFM) Manual:
(1) the degree to which the district's data
					 reflect a need for monitoring and intervention, as indicated by the number of
					 RF students with disabilities enrolled in the district; the presence of new RFs
					 within the district; and the district's performance on certain critical
					 indicators related to compliance with special education program
					 requirements;
(2) a comparison of
					 the district's performance to aggregated state performance and to the
					 performance of other districts;
(3)
					 a review of the district's longitudinal performance;
(4) the availability of state and regional
					 resources to intervene in all districts exhibiting a comparable need for
					 intervention; and
(5) the length of
					 time since the district was last subject to RFM activities.

					 Standards for All Accreditation Sanction Determinations) require a monitor to
					 participate in and report to the commissioner on the activities of the
					 district's board of trustees and superintendent;
(B) the deficiencies identified under §
													97.1059 of this title are not of
					 such severity or duration as to require direct Texas Education Agency (TEA)
					 oversight of district operations;
(C) the district has been responsive to and
					 generally compliant with previous commissioner sanctions and TEA interventions;
					 and
(D) stronger intervention is
					 not required to prevent substantial or imminent harm to the welfare of the
