A judge blocked Texas Education Agency from changing the way it assigns school across the state letter grades based on performance.
School districts sued the TEA over changes to accountability ratings that gave Texas schools a report card based on an A-F scaleDistricts said it was unfair, especially because no notice was given and the change came after a required deadline.
A judge rules Thursday night that Morath is not allowed to release the new grades, until she makes another decision in the case. "What is really says is that our cause, our position is one that merit, that we simply want to know, kind of, what the rules are of the game before we play it," said Crowley ISD Superintendent Michael McFarland."So I definitely appreciate the judge for seeing that we simply didn't have the information we needed so that accountability scores or rating should not be released until after we know what the rules are.
