Legislature during its 1979
regular session.
The Talpa-Centennial ISD
students will be among 700,000
expected to take the reading,
writing composition, and
mathematics tests during the
, February 2-20 statewide test-
ing period. Each of the tests
will require a maximum of 40 to
60 minutes to complete.
The Talpa-Centennial ISD
will report its district and
campus aggregate scores to the
public at a May or June
meeting of the board of
trustees, according to Warren
McCarson, district superin-
tendent. “However, individual
student scores will be reported
only to the student, parents or
guardian, and the school per-
sonnel directly involved,”
McCarson adds.
“This testing program is
designed to help the student
and the school improve achieve-
ment", Mr. McCarson points
out. “For this reason, results
will be reported in a manner
that will help everyone become
more effective.”
“Third grade students were
added to the annual testing
sequence for the first time this
year. The three tests will make
up an annual assessment effort
designed to help both state and
local school officials improve
their services”, Mr. McCarson
says.
Overall student performance,
both by campus and by district,
will be reported each year to
the public by the local board of
trustees.
CTB/McGraw-Hill of Mon-
terey, California will help ad-
minister the 1981 test program
and develop and field test new
items for the 1981-82 series
under contract to the State
Board of Education. The Cali-
fornia firm will also operate a
computerized inventory of all
test booklets to assure strict
security at all times.
“Each test question will re-
late-to a specific objective or
skill students are expected to
learn by the time they com-
plete the particular grade," Mr.
McCarson points out.

referenced’ simply because it is

a short way of saying the
answer to each question must
lead back to a specific objec-
tive,” Mr. McCarson explains.
Ninth grade students who do
not make a satisfactory “exit
level” score may re take the
test each year they remain in
high school. However, they will
not be required to take it more
than once. Later attempts to
improve scores and evaluate
any remedial programs will be
voluntary.
The annual test program will
be administered by specially-
trained personnel in each school
district under the guidelines
and supervision of the Texas
Education Agency.
