A Message of Gratitude
During the week of May 4- 8, we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. I want to personally thank you for the incredible heart and dedication you bring to your classrooms every day. Through your patience, creativity, and empathy, you do more than just teach - you inspire our students to believe they are capable. Your unwavering commitment motivates me every day to ensure you have the tools you need to succeed. It is an honor to work alongside such a dedicated team!

Senate Bill 1191
Calculation of High School Grade Point Average
Senate Bill (SB) 1191, passed by the 89th Texas Legislature, requires, rather than permits, the commissioner to develop a standard method of computing a student's high school grade point average (GPA) that provides for additional weight to be given to certain high school courses.
If adopted as proposed, the rule will apply beginning with the cohort of students who enter grade 7 in the 2027-2028 school year.
The proposed rule would require school districts to assign GPA weights in alignment with the following requirements:
- All Advanced Placement (AP) courses, International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, OnRamps dual enrollment courses, and non-career and technical education (CTE) dual credit courses receive weights that are equal to one another.
- CTE dual credit courses receive a weight that is less than the weight assigned to AP course, IB courses, OnRamps dual credit courses.
- Honors courses receive an additional weight that is determined locally if a school district offers honor courses.
