Summary
STaR Chart is the measurement tool used to plan for technology education in the state of Texas Please answer honestly and supervise the responses
of your students for validity
Meyer ES has increased in the STaR chart scores but still has enormous room for improvement
District leaders are committed to funding the equipment necessary to reach these goals.
