Who is required to participate in the Texas Principal Excellence Program (TxPEP)?
TEA has designed and implemented a number of programs to assist principals of campuses rated as Academically Unacceptable (AU) in the state accountability system. The Texas Principal Excellence Program (TxPEP) is one of these programs and is authorized under Subchapter E Chapter 11, ยง11.203 of the Education Code (formerly referred to at the School Leadership Pilot Program). TEA has designated principals of AU campuses as required program attendees for the 2007-2008 academic year, though any principal or aspiring principal may apply for this program.
