Due Date Extension - House Bill 3 College Preparation Assessments: TSIA Reimbursement *(Survey Closes on January 30, 2024)*

House Bill 3 (HB 3) college preparation assessment reimbursement, enacted by the 86th Legislature, permits the state to provide a *one-time* reimbursement to *districts* for the cost of administering *one* college preparation assessment (SAT, ACT or TSIA) *per eligible student*. Estimated funding is advanced to districts annually in the fall Foundation School Program (FSP) funding. Each year, TEA reconciles these funds for April settle-up.

More information about this policy is covered in depth in the HB 3 SAT, ACT, and TSIA Reimbursement FAQs [ [link removed] ]. Importantly, for the *2022-2023* school year, eligible students are as follows:


* *Seniors* who take either the SAT, ACT, or TSIA from *September 1, 2022 ? July 31, 2023*.
* *Juniors* who take either the SAT, ACT, or TSIA from *January 1, 2022 ? July 31, 2023*.

"Note: August 2022 test administrations will be submitted and considered in the 2022-2023 process."

SAT and ACT *school day* participants are automatically considered for reimbursement. TEA has a separate request process for districts who would like to request reimbursement for the SAT and ACT *national day* testing. If multiple records of a student are reported, TEA will reimburse the highest cost exam per eligible student. If multiple records of a student are reported from several districts, the first district will be considered.

*If the TSIA is the highest cost exam for a student for which the district paid and would like reimbursement, then the district must request a reimbursement from the agency* *using the process outlined in this document.*

A request for reimbursement does not guarantee a reimbursement will be administered. After receiving all requests for TSIA and SAT/ACT, TEA will validate requests and reconcile funding accordingly. TEA recommends that districts retain all back-up documentation on district policies, decisions, and payments in the event of an audit.

*Only one file per district will be accepted. *TEA will not accept individual campus requests.
