2003-2004 Schedule For Reimbursement of Commissioner’s List of Reading Instruments for Texas Public Schools and Charter Schools
Due to Legislative budgetary constraints, the Office of Statewide Initiatives at the Texas Education Agency will only be able to fund the purchase of English and Spanish Early Reading Instrumentson the 2003-2004 Commissioner’s List in the following manner. (The list of early reading instruments address the six domains of reading designated in TEC § 28.006 and were selected in accordance with mandated submission guidelines.)
Texas public schools and charter schools may choose the early reading assessment instrument option that is appropriate for their local student population. Cost cap for assessing each Texas K-2 child is $5. The average class is estimated at 22 children. Therefore, using this formula, each class can be tested for $110. Each teacher/class will receive 1 set of testing materials.
Examples are given in the table below. It will demonstrate how we will be used to determine the reimbursement that districts will receive for the 2003-2004 school year.
