Statement by Commissioner of Education Michael Williams: Governor Rick Perry today signed House Bill 5 into law---Commissioner Williams was in attendance. "House Bill 5 dramatically revises the number of high school student assessments required for graduation as well as overall graduation plans in Texas. In the long-term, these revisions will have a great impact on the state accountability system for schools, charters, and districts. Details of that will be announced sometime in the future. In the short-term, work to transition and implement the requirements of House Bill 5 is under way at the Texas Education Agency. While my staff has already been delving into those issues, we do not yet have answers to every question. However, I anticipate formally announcing the details as quickly as possible as I continue to hear from my staff, superintendents, educators, and parents on the various issues important to assuring a smooth transition."
