Relating to the paper administration of certain assessment instruments and information related to assessment instrument accommodations for students with disabilities.
HB 4383 requires Texas school districts to administer certain standardized assessments in paper format for students in third and fourth grade. It also allows districts to offer paper formats for other grades upon request from parents, guardians, or teachers, but limits this option to no more than 3% of students per assessment administration. The bill mandates that school districts provide parents of students with disabilities (as defined in Education Code Section 21.001) with a form detailing available assessment accommodations, including paper format options. This applies to assessments required under Education Code Section 39.023(a), (c), or (l), ensuring families receive clear information about accessibility options.
