A bipartisan group of Texas state lawmakers is requesting that the STARR test be canceled this year because of the additional burdens placed on districts due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

We fully support these lawmakers and feel that the cancellation of STAAR testing this year will benefit the community, parents, teachers, administrators, but most of all, the students who will not have to be subjected to excessive pressure in a shortened time frame in an already stressful time.
