Relating to the administration of assessment instruments to public school students.

HB 890 amends Texas Education Code sections to change how student assessments are used in school accountability and support. It requires schools to provide accelerated instruction for students who fail end-of-course assessments, partner with colleges to create preparatory courses for students not meeting college readiness standards, and establish clearer procedures for transferring credits between states. The bill directly affects public school students (especially those struggling with assessments), school districts, and higher education institutions. It also updates how student performance on standardized tests is considered in school evaluations, though the bill remains pending in the Public Education committee.
