(a) A student is eligible to substitute an alternative exit-level assessment for a Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) exit-level assessment for purposes of this subchapter if the student after January 1 of the year in which the student would otherwise be eligible to graduate:
- (1) enrolls in a public school in Texas for the first time; or

- (b) Each school district and charter school shall be responsible for verifying a student's eligibility for the alternative exit-level assessment.
