McKinney ISD Parents:

The Student Success Initiative (SSI) was created by the Texas Legislature to ensure that all students receive the instruction and support they need to be academically successful in reading and mathematics.

Under the SSI grade advancement requirements, students are given three opportunities to meet the required passing standard on the Grade 5 and Grade 8 STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) reading and mathematics tests, in order to be promoted to sixth and ninth grade, respectively. The requirements also apply to students served by special education who take STAAR Modified assessments.

Accelerated instruction in the applicable subject area must be provided each time a student fails to perform satisfactorily on the assessment. After a student fails to perform satisfactorily on the second assessment administration, a grade placement committee (principal or designee, parent/guardian, and the subject area teacher) shall prescribe the accelerated instruction to be provided. Between second and third administrations, the accelerated instruction is offered in a summer school program.

The District shall notify the student’s parent or guardian of the student’s failure to perform satisfactorily on the assessment, the accelerated instruction program to which the student is assigned, and the possibility that the student might be retained.

If after three attempts the student fails to perform satisfactorily on the assessment and is retained, the student’s parent or guardian may appeal the student’s retention by submitting a request to the grade placement committee. A unanimous decision by this committee may decide in favor of a student’s promotion if it is determined that if promoted and given accelerated instruction, the student is likely to perform at grade level. The grade placement committee decision is final and may not be appealed.

For all students who fail to perform satisfactorily on the assessment after three attempts, accelerated instruction must be provided during the next school year, regardless of whether the student has been promoted or retained. During the school year, the student shall be monitored to ensure the student is progressing according to the student’s education plan to perform at the appropriate grade level at the conclusion of the school year. The District shall administer to the student the assessment for the grade level in which the student is placed at the time the District regularly administers the assessment instruments for that school year.

Please note that it is the district’s belief and expectation that all students are successful and as such our staff is committed to ensuring this outcome. Each program offering is designed with the goal of equipping our students with the necessary skills to continue to make successful progress towards graduation and beyond.
