Keypoints
- During the 2008-2009 school year, the division of Student Assessment at the
Texas Education Agency will be conducting a separate survey to study the
feasibility and cost of converting the state assessment program to a
computer-based format as required by HB 1031. The Student Assessment survey
should not be confused with this section which requires districts to report the
unduplicated number of computers by access type.
- All computers available for student use should be included in the count.
Computers may be located in classrooms, labs, and/or other locations.
