Alyson Klein reports that Secretary DeVos has given “a stamp of approval” to Texas’ ESSA plan. Klein also writes that an “independent review of ESSA plans by Bellwether Education Partners and the Collaborative for Student Success noted that Texas’ long-term goals expected graduation rates for white students to dip in the future,” and that’s “something the department noticed, too—and asked Texas to change.”
