The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: A ridiculous, spurious decision from a Travis Co. Democrat district judge places a temporary injunction on TEA from releasing the public school A to F accountability ratings. The judge, ruling on a lawsuit to stop transparency from about 100 ISDs, says school districts could suffer “irreparable harm” from the release! How?
One charter school leader wrote me:
“You are probably already aware of this, but some judge in Austin blocked TEA from releasing ratings after about 100 ISDs sued. I think charters should do the opposite and tell the world to ”bring it on” because we don’t fear accountability like the ISDs do. … But we need to face the facts. It’s widely understood that the delay is because TEA is trying to tweak ratings to already make schools look better.”
