These students must be identified through NGS by running a Priority for Services Report. Information regarding services provided to these students will be monitored through the Texas Education Agency’s monitoring system called the Performance-Based Monitoring Analysis System (PBMAS). • Criteria for Priority for Services

Students are flagged who: o Have their education interrupted during the previous or current regular school year; AND o Are in grades 3-12, Ungraded (UG) or Out of School (OS) and have failed one or more sections of the TAKS, or are LEP Exempt, ARD

I will get any updates out to our districts at that time but this will probably not be available until late August.
