For districts and charters in these counties, the deadline for submitting an appeal of academic accountability ratings of a district or campus is Monday, October 2, 2017, at 5:00 p.m. CDT. All supporting materials for the appeals must be postmarked by Monday, October 2, 2017, as well. A district or charter in the counties listed above that is unable to make the October 2 deadline is encouraged to contact the TEA department of Performance Reporting to determine whether alternate arrangements can be made
