Media Advisory: News Media Access to Schools Limited During STAAR and TAKS Examinations July 7-10

AUSTIN, Texas—In July, Austin °¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ students are scheduled to take the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness and Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills.

To reduce distractions and help students focus on their tests, the news media's access to A°¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ campuses will be limited July 7-10.

As has been the practice on test days in the past, the district will continue to limit visitors' access to schools during student assessment periods. As always, A°¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ appreciates the news media's cooperation.
