Re: Request for Texas Partnership Benefits
Dear Superintendent Wilcox,
This letter is to inform you that Longview ISD’s submission for Texas Partnership benefits with
East Texas Advanced Academies has been denied.
The requested number of campuses and projected student enrollment exceeds the limitations
outlined in TEC 12.0522(b). The application must be modified to comply with the limitations in
TEC 12.0522(b) or a waiver must be requested in order to exceed the limitation on the
percentage of students served. This waiver must receive approval in order to be eligible for
benefits under TEC 11.174 and 42.2511.
If the district receives approval for a waiver related to TEC 12.0522(b), the district may submit a
Texas Partnerships benefits application in a future cycle.
For additional information or assistance, please contact Doug Dawson at
doug.dawson@tea.texas.gov.
Sincerely,

Marian L. Schutte
Director, Division of System Support & Innovation
