EXAMPLE: Assessment of Migratory Students
Many migrant children home-based in Texas do not receive a high school diploma because
their mobility at the beginning and end of the school year prevents them from taking and passing
the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS). (Passing the TAAS test is required for high
school graduation in Texas.) Texas has arranged to have the TAAS administered to migratory
students in several other States using local school personnel trained by Texas in the
administration of the TAAS. Some States currently participating in this arrangement with Texas
are Arkansas, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and
Washington. |
