Accountability New Performance Standards with the adjusted Phase-In are now in statute http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/rules/tac/chapter101/ch101cc.html#division4 Progressive, not stepped Algebra II EOC will not be offered in the STAAR Alternate 2, STAAR L or STAAR A test version

In May 2016, STAAR Algebra II and English III assessments will be available for districts to administer on an optional basis as postsecondary readiness measures. Texas Education Code (TEC) specifies that test results cannot be used for class grades, class rank, accountability, or teacher evaluation. However, the TEC stipulates that students can use their scores on STAAR Algebra II and English III to meet the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) testing requirement. Districts that elect to offer STAAR Algebra II, English III, or both assessments must administer the tests to all students in the district who are enrolled in these courses. STAAR Algebra II and English III will be provided online and on paper. Braille and large print versions of these assessments will also be available. Districts will be required to provide participation counts for students who will be taking STAAR Algebra II and English III assessments.
