FROM HANNAH: Standardized testing in Texas has evolved over the years, from the TAAS and TAKS tests that I took in school, to the end-of-course and STAAR exams students today are familiar with. Most recently, House Bill 3906—which passed in the Texas Legislature in 2019—further revamped STAAR, shifting the traditional pencil-to-paper test completely online with the addition of more question types, among other amendments. These changes were implemented in schools statewide—including in Humble and New Caney ISDs—for the rst time in April. To learn more about how these changes are a ecting students and teachers locally, see our front-page story, which continues on Pages 18-19. Hannah Brol, EDITOR
