Relating to an indicator of achievement for military readiness under the public school accountability system.
HB 1388 adds a new "military readiness" indicator to Texas public school accountability evaluations for high schools and districts with high school campuses. The bill requires schools to track and report four specific metrics: student enlistment in U.S. or Texas National Guard, passing scores on the ASVAB test, completion of JROTC programs, and earning military-related certifications. This change modifies Section 39.053(c) of the Education Code to include military readiness as one of three required achievement domains for school evaluations. The policy directly affects high school campuses in Texas public school districts by incorporating these military-focused metrics into their accountability ratings.
