Schools await STAAR scores after new online test launches in April

CHANGING THE EXAM The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness were conducted completely online in April after House Bill 3906—passed in 2019—implemented a redesign of the standardized test. 15 types of test questions Along with multiple choice questions, 14 other question types—such as graphs, maps and ll-in-the-blanks—could pop up on the new STAAR. Evidence-based writing The essay portion of the reading and writing STAAR are now based on a reading passage instead of an independent writing prompt. More crossover between subjects Reading passage test questions reference topics students have learned about in other subjects. Online testing STAAR tests are being administered online beginning this school year. This will provide more accommodations for students and expedited results, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Students across the state began standardized testing through a completely online format for the rst time— with testing beginning April 18—after legislators called for a revamped test in 2019. The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness test students beginning in third grade and were admin- istered online because of House Bill 3906, which was passed during the 86th legislative session in May 2019. The redesigned test also features more question variet- ies and changes to written essay prompts, and requires student knowledge of subjects outside of the one being tested, according to the Texas Education Agency. “Feedback from educators informed the main com- ponents of the STAAR redesign, and both educators and students provided input to ensure STAAR better reected the classroom experience,” a TEA spokesperson said in an May 5 email. Klein ISD teacher Angela Stutes—who teaches fth grade at Nitsch Elementary—said she has worked all school year to prepare her students for STAAR, which is more rigorous because of the new format. “[The new STAAR test] is harder, because [the stu- dents] have to prove their answers now beyond just

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 Spring and Klein ISDs— for the rst time in April. To learn more about how these changes are aecting students and teachers locally, see our front-page story, which continues on Pages 20-21. Hannah Brol, EDITOR

TRANSPORTATION UPDATES Precinct 3 begins $1M bridge maintenance series work

COMPILED BY HANNAH BROL

UPCOMING PROJECTS

In April, Harris County Precinct 3 o cials began and completed maintenance work on two bridges in the Spring and Klein area. The two bridges include the Louetta Road bridge over Kothman Gully and the Oxted Lane bridge over a ditch in the Woods at Cypress Creek neighborhood. Precinct 3 Communications Manager Jeannie Peng said repairs included addressing erosion issues and repaving slopes to ensure safety and extend the life of the bridges. The projects are the rst in a series of three bridge improvement pack- ages totaling $1 million funded by Precinct 3 that will cover 47 bridges across Cypress, Spring, Humble and Crosby, per an April 11 news release. The bridges were assessed by Precinct 3’s engineering and mainte- nance team, and were selected based on deciencies identied in the Texas Department of Transportation’s Bridge Inventory, Inspection and Appraisal Program report.

2023, said Jeannie Peng, senior communications specialist for Harris County Precinct 3, in a May 9 email. The project consisted of added boardwalks for pedestrian use. The other project—Loop 1—is expected to be nished at the end of May. This project, which is currently underway, will include pedestrian undercrossings at Hwy. 249. Loop 1 is designed to improve pedestrian usage and safety, according to Precinct 3’s website. Trails connecting both loops will be completed this summer, Peng said. A small playground and picnic area will also be added. Both of these project series were slated to wrap up in the rst quarter of this year, according to Precinct 3’s website. The projects saw only minor supply chain delays for materials needed for the concrete boardwalks and guardrails, Peng said. The projects are being funded

CYPRESS CREEK

One of two sets of pedestrian amenity projects totaling $3.7 million along the Cypress Creek Greenway has been completed, a spokesperson with Harris County Precinct 3 conrmed May 9. These projects are part of the larger Cypress Creek Greenway project, which aims to connect more than 40 miles of walking and biking trails along the creek in Spring and beyond, as previously reported by Community Impact . The pedestrian amenity projects focus on parts of the greenway on the north and south side of where Hwy. 249 intersects with Cypress Creek. The projects were designed to connect existing portions of the Cypress Creek Greenway and provide access to the Kickerillo- Mischer Preserve, according to Precinct 3’s website. One of the projects—Loop 2—was completed in the rst quarter of

Peng said Precinct 3 opted to add additional drainage and safety components to the project. From 2011 to Feb. 2022, about 13 miles of trail had been constructed

along the Cypress Creek Greenway, which is the most recent estimate, Jim Robertson, chairman of the Cypress Creek Greenway Project said in a May 8 email. The greenway was conceived more than ve decades ago and will likely take just as long to nish, as previously reported by Community Impact .

Property acquisition is underway for Spring’s Mercer stormwater detention basin, and construction is slated to begin later this summer. St. Romain said this project has received $15.4 million in grant funding through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery program. In terms of upcoming projects, St. Romain said Harris County owns prop- erty in Spring for the Senger stormwa- ter detention basin and is exploring a partnership with Harris County Water Control and Improvement District No. 110.

Several stormwater detention basins are under construction or proposed for the Cypress Creek watershed in the Spring and Klein area.

Several ood mitigation projects are underway in the Cypress Creek watershed, according to an April 19 presentation by Jonathan St. Romain, who manages the Capital Projects South Department of the Harris County Flood Control District. Since November 2021, St. Romain said 98,000 cubic yards of soil has been removed for a basin on the west side of T.C. Jester Boulevard in Spring. On the east side, the project is in the nal design stage, and con- struction on two basins is expected to begin late this year. About $9.9 mil- lion in grant funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency is available for this project, and HCFCD continues to seek funding for a fourth basin—$17.87 million of which is included in the 88th Texas Legisla- ture’s House Bill 1.

and “quack shack,” owner Connie Putnam said, as the store has earned a plethora of loyal customers for its selection of bath products and rubber ducks alike. The bath supply shop—located in Old Town Spring—has been selling items, such as handmade soaps, creams, body butters, scrubs and toy ducks, since February 2002. Connie’s husband, Jon, also owns the store, which the couple opened so Connie could move her homemade soaps “out of the house,” she said. Connie said she learned how to make soap after she went shopping in a big-box bath supply store. She left feeling like she could replicate many of the products herself. “I’ve always had this brain that says, ‘I can make that,’ whether it’s clothes, some exotic dish [or soap],” she said. Connie’s Bath Shack sells about 80 types of products in store and online, shipping all across the U.S. Most of the products have unique scent combinations mixed in, Connie said. “You can’t go someplace [else] to nd my laven- der scent,” she said. “It’s my own blend.”

include lavender, dragon’s blood—a sweet-smelling product with “no dragons were harmed” written on the label—and calendula, Jon said. “The rst time [Connie] made that calendula, she walked down to the corner ... to pick some calen- dula owers ... then she started making calendula salves,” Jon said. Connie claims the store’s rubber duck collection is the largest in Texas. Multiple sizes and colors of ducks are for sale, including some that look like other animals or popular TV characters. Over two decades, the store has navigated some challenges, including increased supply prices, Jon said. Some ingredients used in the soaps, such as shea butter and coconut oil, have almost doubled in price, he said, and some items have taken up to a year to arrive. Despite the obstacles of running a business, the Putnams said they know a lot of their customers well and are grateful for them. “Everybody loves Connie ... [and] her products,” Jon said. “We’re always running out of something.”

The restaurant has a variety of menu options in case a customer isn’t a fan of sushi, Chang said. “I’m certainly proud of the food that we put out and the quality of it,” he said. “I denitely have certain another Japanese restaurant called Uptown Sushi—which is located near the intersection of Hwy. 610 and Post Oak Boulevard in Houston—and has been open for 19 years. Chang grew up in his family’s Japanese restau- rant, which he said had traditional Japanese food and decor.

something that you’re learning and you don’t really realize,” he said. As someone who has been involved in the Greater Houston-area food scene for decades, Chang said it is constantly changing and improv- ing, so he likes to evolve too. The restaurant recently started serving a sushi bar special plate, which features a sushi roll and nigiri—a fresh cut of sh served over a rice ball—chosen by the chef. This allows Sushi Rebel to showcase seasonal sh from Japan or have customers try something new, Chang said. An important focus for Chang is also tweaking the Sushi Rebel menu to better match what customers enjoy, he said. “You have to trust the customers’ palates,” he said. “If [an item] is not moving, it’s for a reason.”

so Sushi Rebel owner Daniel Chang said he decided to try Spring for his version of the Japanese cuisine. “I knew I wanted to do something dierent,” Chang said. “More mod- ern with more of a fun atmosphere.” The restaurant opened in October after Chang was approached with the idea of opening a restaurant in City Place. The space is great for business meetings, family meals and date nights, he said. “I fell in love with the whole area and the idea of it,” he said. Sushi Rebel serves an array of specialty sushi rolls with ingredients such as wagyu beef, peppercorn tuna, Thai chili aioli and ceviche sauce. The menu also features Jap- anese cuisine such as teriyaki, fried

SPRING KLEIN EDITION • MAY 2023

CALCULATING ACCOUNTABILITY The Texas Education Agency provides annual academic accountability ratings to its public school districts, individual campuses and charter schools for three areas across several factors, including STAAR scores.

throughout the school year,” Popinski said. “The STAAR test, as it stands today, is not one of those types of tests. It’s a one-day test [taken] on one day, and it’s just a snapshot in time.” The new test STAAR exams measure student progress in read- ing, math, science, social studies and writing—a goal that hasn’t changed, according to the TEA. “Assessments provide teachers and parents with helpful information to see how individual students are performing so they can better support those stu- dents moving forward,” a TEA spokesperson said. The new online STAAR will allow school districts to receive student scores quicker and cut supply costs compared to the paper test, Harris said. “[The new STAAR test] will also give us an oppor- tunity to increase accommodation options for our students ... and then also ... allow our students to use higher-level thinking and to complete assess- ments in a variety of ways,” Harris said. With testing wrapping up May 12, districts can expect to receive early raw scores as soon as May 22, according to the TEA website. In addition to being online, the new STAAR test features a maximum of 75% multiple choice ques- tions while the remaining portion consists of 14 question types. The new question types have stu- dents perform tasks such as selecting a point on a map or adding the missing portion of an equation, according to the TEA’s website. For reading passage test questions, students may need to use knowledge from subjects outside of the one they are being tested for. Essays on language arts STAAR tests will now be based on a reading passage instead of an independent writing prompt, according to a TEA spokesperson. Reading and writ- ing tests have also been combined into one test, which impacts grades four and seven. Stute applauded KISD for helping teachers pre- pare for the new STAAR test, but she said she believes information from the TEA was lacking. A specic rubric for how the new essay portion of the reading and writing STAAR will be scored, for exam- ple, was never provided, she said. Pushing for change Under the TEA’s current accountability system, ratings are determined by student STAAR scores, graduation rates, and college, career and military

2021-22 accountability rating scores:

Klein ISD

Spring ISD

Scores are tallied for three areas.

Closing the gaps Reects how well a school or district is ensuring all student groups are successful

School progress Reects students’ performance over time and how a school’s performance compares to other schools with similar economically disadvantaged student populations

Student achievement Reects students’ scores on STAAR exams, graduation rates, and college, career and military readiness

Take the higher score

School progress score: 89 x 70% + Closing the gaps score: 88 x 30% = 88.7

School progress score: 84 x 70% + Closing the gaps score: 75 x 30% = 81.3

The higher score of either “student achievement” or “school progress” accounts for 70% of the total score, while “closing the gaps” accounts for 30%.

conduct interventions—requirements for districts to provide better sta and resources to lower perform- ing campuses—with schools who receive “not rated” scores, or ratings lower than a C. Exceptions were made for the 2020-21 school year, when schools were not rated due to the coronavirus pandemic, but intervention resumed in the 2021-22 school year. Multiple bills in the ongoing 88th Legislature seek to change the role STAAR plays in district account- ability scores. Bob Popinski, senior director of pol- icy for public education advocacy group Raise Your Hand Texas, said he believes STAAR should be de-emphasized as an accountability metric. “We believe in good assessments, forma- tive assessments that help inform instruction

saying, ‘OK, this is the answer,’” Stutes said. During an April 6 Spring ISD trustee meeting, LaTracy Harris, SISD’s assistant superintendent of academics said the district has been working since the 2022-23 school year began in August to acclimate students to the new STAAR test questions. “We wanted to make sure that we could expose our students so they have an opportunity to practice and be prepared for the STAAR test,” Harris said. Despite HB 3906’s updates to STAAR, the test will still contribute to the AF scale accountability ratings the TEA assigns each campus and district. The TEA is typically required, under state law, to
