Texas SB557 establishes academic distinction designations for school districts and campuses based on student performance in postsecondary readiness.

Texas SB557 amends the Education Code to create academic distinction designations for school districts and campuses that demonstrate outstanding performance in preparing students for postsecondary education. The commissioner will set criteria for these designations, including student performance on assessments, completion of industry certifications, and participation in early college high school programs. The bill also provides additional funding for districts with students enrolled in P-TECH schools or New Tech Network campuses.
