How will accountability issues for districts and campuses affected by Hurricane Rita be addressed?
Again, for both state accountability and federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), the Texas Education Agency (TEA) will address issues for the 2006 accountability cycle through established decision-making processes. However, Hurricane Rita had a local rather than statewide impact with circumstances that will likely be unique from district to district. • Local versus statewide impact. Unlike with Hurricane Katrina, districts statewide were not affected by Hurricane Rita. For this reason, special accommodations for affected districts only may be more appropriate than a system-wide solution. • Unique circumstances. Most districts affected by Hurricane Katrina were responding to a similar set of issues related to the influx of students whose families were displaced by the hurricane. Districts affected by Hurricane Rita will have unique issues dependent upon the extent of damage to school facilities, homes in the community, businesses, public services, or closeness to communities and school
