Important message from

State Representative Morgan Meyer

about STAAR testing.

State Representative Morgan Meyer represents Old East Dallas, Uptown, Downtown, Bluffview, Preston Hollow and the Park Cities.

Fellow Public School Parents,

After hearing from Dallas ISD and Highland Park ISD families across our district, I’m asking Texas Education Agency Commissioner Morath to continue to pause STAAR testing for the 2020-2021 school year.

If we must resume testing, I’m requesting that the scores not bear any punitive consequences on students – like preventing advancement to the next grade or graduation. COVID is hard enough on our students and families without the added pressure of STAAR test scores.

To view a copy of my letter to Commissioner Morath, please click here. If you agree with continuing the pause on STAAR testing please sign up and we will ensure your voice is heard. We’ll keep you updated on this issue and other important school information.

Thank you. We hope you and your family are staying safe,

State Representative Morgan Meyer
