Answer: The compact applies only to students relocating from a state that is a member of the military compact. Question: In December 2009, a student from a military family relocated from Arizona and enrolled in our district as a tenth grader. Is she required to take the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) tests this spring? Answer: Yes. Although Arizona is a member state, the compact does not address assessment requirements other than those tied to graduation, so the student must take the four TAKS tests administered in the spring to tenth graders as required under Texas law. Question: At the beginning of the school year, a student from a military family relocated from Alaska and enrolled in our district as a twelfth grader. While in Alaska, he successfully completed the exit-level assessments in reading, writing, and mathematics required by that state, and he is on schedule to accumulate the credits necessary to graduate at the end of the 2009-2010 school year. Is he required to take the exit-level TAKS assessments in science and social studies? Answer: Yes, if the student wishes to receive a Texas diploma. However, because the student transferred as a senior and has already met the graduation requirements for an Alaska diploma, he may elect instead to seek a diploma from Alaska because that state is a member of the compact. In this case, the student would not need to take the exit-level science and social studies assessments in Texas. An answer document does not need to be submitted for the student for the March 2010 administration. Documentation should be maintained locally. However, if you have eligible students for the April 2010 administration, please call TEAs Student Assessment Division for coding instructions. Your school district will need to work with the district from the sending state to facilitate the issuance of a diploma. Question: Are there alternative assessments available to eligible students to whom the military compact applies? Answer: Eligible students include those who enroll in a Texas public school for the first time after completing the ninth grade or who re-enroll at or above grade 10 after an absence of at least two years. There are currently both SAT and ACT alternative graduation standards for English language arts and mathematics (more information available at HYPERLINK "http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/resources/grad/alternate_assessments_xl.pdf"http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/resources/grad/alternate_assessments_xl.pdf), and TEA is in the process of identifying appropriate alternate assessments for science and social studies. Also, if a sending state administers applicable assessments in the subject areas, a student could use those results in lieu of taking and passing one or more exit level TAKS assessments.
