Abstract: 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 study will also provide the Texas Education Agency and the Texas 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.
