Ratings will be suspended in 2012 while a new accountability system is developed. During a speech at the Texas Association of School Administrators’ Midwinter Conference in Austin, Scott also said the last TAKS-based school accountability ratings will be issued in 2011. Therefore, one would take an Algebra I test in order to pass Algebra I, and so on. The STAAR had intensified rigorousness and end of course assessments, instead of a unified 9th, 10th, and 11th grade Mathematics, ELA, Science and Social Studies test. In 2010, Texas Commissioner of Education Robert Scott, announced the successor to the TAKS, STAAR. When Senate Bill 1031 was passed in spring 2007, it called for the TAKS to be repealed. On March 16, 2020, Governor Greg Abbott waived the STAAR for the 2019–2020 school year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Any private school, charter school, and or homeschooling that does not receive monetary support from Texas is not required to take the STAAR test, and as of May 2012 can only take the TAKS test by ordering from Pearson Education (not to be confused with Pearson PLC) Schools who receive funds from the state of Texas are required to enforce these tests among students who attend the schools. However, many policies from the TAKS are still withheld in the STAAR's policies for practical purposes. In 2015 the last students had taken the TAKS test, so the first students will graduate with a completed STAAR end of course assessments. This process is part of the TAKS to STAAR transition plan. STAAR replaced the TAKS in the spring of 2012, although students who entered 10th grade before the 2011–2012 school year continued to take the TAKS. The bill called for secondary schools (for grades 9-11) to take end of course assessments every time a student was at the end of taking a course, instead of taking general "core subject" tests. The test was announced because the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (commonly referred to its acronym TAKS) assessment was repealed by Texas Senate Bill 1031 in spring 2007. The test used to be developed by Pearson Education every school year, although the most recent contract gave Educational Testing Service a role in creating some of the tests, under the close supervision of the Texas Education Agency. It tests curriculum taught from the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, which in turn is taught by public schools.
