Texas will replace the STAAR standardized test with the new Student Success Tool (SST)
beginning in the 2027-2028 school year under House Bill 8.
This informational session prepares campus leaders and campus educators for the shift from the STAAR test to the Student Success Tool (SST), established under House Bill 8. Participants will get a clear breakdown of the transition timeline, the core differences between a single high-stakes spring test and the new three-window adaptive model (BOY, MOY, EOY), and key policy changes. Beyond compliance, the session provides practical guidance on leveraging year-round growth data to adjust instruction in real time while maintaining TEKS-aligned curriculum standards.
