Baseline Trends
Implementation Outcomes
Baseline Trends
• Studies examining the relationship between graduation plans under the previous law (4x4) and outcomes.
E3 Alliance• Found a strong, positive relationship between highest level of
math and post-secondary outcomes, particularly for low-income students.
AIR• Student outcomes under the previous graduation plans (i.e.,
minimum, recommended, distinguished) showed improvement in college readiness and high school graduation.
Implementation
• Studies that examine how HB5 is currently being implemented in practice.
AIR• Districts are most likely to consider current
offerings and staff capacity in selective endorsements
Texas Education Grantmakers Advocacy Consortium, George H.W. Bush School at Texas A&M• Qualitative study examining implementation in districts,
such as endorsement offerings, opt-in decisions for the distinguished plan, and best practices. Findings pending.
Implementation (cont)
• Studies that examine how HB5 is currently being implemented in practice.
Ray Marshall Center• Aimed at examining counselor capacity. Findings
pending.
RGV- Equal Voice Network• Surveyed parents in the RGV and found that
majority are not familiar with the policy or its implications.
Implementation (cont)
• Studies that examine how HB5 is currently being implemented in practice.
Austin Chamber of Commerce• In partnership with Austin Community College and
partner school districts, Austin Chamber of Commerce is surveying high school juniors and seniors to aid students and the schools supporting them in the college process. Will also track earnings and postsecondary outcomes for high school graduates.
Outcome
• Proposed studies to examine secondary and post-secondary student outcomes
Charles A. Dana Center• Aims to examine alternative math pathways and
courses related to student outcomes. Findings pending.
Takeaways
• Leaders in the policy, business, and education sectors share deep concerns about the implementation of HB5 and its implications for educational equity.
• Even though it is too early to examine the long-term effects of HB5 on student outcomes, there is already promising research underway that can inform policy, practice, and research.
