HB 1416, passed by lawmakers in 2023, established requirements for students who do not pass STAAR.The law requires school districts to provide tutoring, or accelerated instruction, to students in each STAAR-tested subject where they did not perform satisfactorily. By state law, this includes students who do not test since they do not have a passing score.
