Texas lawmakers advance differing bills to overhaul the STAAR test, altering school accountability methods.
Texas lawmakers have passed a bill in the House to overhaul the STAAR test, aiming to replace it with a system of three smaller tests throughout the year.
The bill also sets up a fast-track court process for lawsuits related to the test.
However, the Senate version, Senate Bill 1962, gives the Texas Education Agency's commissioner more authority in determining school performance ratings and establishing standards.
The Senate's version faces skepticism and could make it harder for districts to challenge the system.
Both versions aim to address concerns over the current testing system and school accountability.
