News and Events
Generation Twenty-Seven Capacity Interviews
The Texas Education Agency held capacity interviews for the Generation Twenty-Seven open-enrollment charter applicants who have qualified by receiving an average required score of 85% or higher during external evaluations. The meetings were held the week of May 9th. The commissioner of education will announce the charters he is proposing to award by May 27th. The proposed charters will then go before the State Board of Education at their June meeting. Recordings of the interviews are available via the TEA livestream page. To find a particular interview, please review the schedule (PDF, 53 KB) and use the "Past Meetings" option to find the recording. To review the applications, please visit our Portfolio page.
