What happens if I don participate in TxPEP?
The TEA rules pertaining to accreditation criteria say that “if a campus is rated Academically Unacceptable in the state academic accountability rating system for the current school year, the commissioner of education shall assign a campus intervention team (CIT)” …and that the “principal of a campus assigned a CIT under subsection (a) of this section, or any person employed to replace that principal, shall participate in and complete the program requirements of the School Leadership Pilot Program (SLPP).” [SLPP is now called TxPEP.] “The district shall be responsible for any costs associated with participation in the SLPP, such as travel, lodging, or extra duty pay. Participation in the SLPP shall begin not later than October 1 of the current school year. All program requirements of the SLPP shall be completed within one year of enrolling in the program.” (see 97.1063. Campus Intervention Team; Reconstitution at: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/rules/commissioner/proposed/0607/97-ee-one.ht
