District administration staff from all
Texas public school districts (one staff member per district) will
be asked to complete a short, online survey regarding changes
districts may have made in response to the new high school
graduation requirements implemented under Texas House Bill 5.
Participation in the survey of district administration staff is
voluntary. Data collected by the survey will be used to describe
changes that districts have made with regard to student diploma
plan placement, mathematics course offerings, and information
distribution to parents in response to Texas House Bill 5. This

Higher Education Coordination Board with information on the level
of Texas students' college preparation in mathematics. The findings
will be reported in a printed report available to the
public.
