Austin, TX – State Representative Brooks Landgraf (R-Odessa) is urging the Texas Education Agency to release End-of-Course (EOC) exam results early for students in the Ector County Independent School District (ECISD), to ensure eligible seniors are not blocked from walking the stage at their graduation ceremonies.

In a formal letter to Commissioner Mike Morath, Landgraf requested that ECISD receive its scores by May 21, 2025—two days ahead of the statewide release date. Without early access to scores, many seniors and early-graduating juniors could be left out of ceremonies scheduled before May 23, including Permian High School’s graduation on May 22.

“These students have done everything required of them—completed their coursework, passed their classes, and earned the right to graduate,” Landgraf said. “They shouldn't miss this moment because of a bureaucratic delay.”

Landgraf stressed that graduation is a major milestone for students, families, and the entire community, and that the state should do its part to make sure every qualified student can participate.

“I strongly urge the agency to approve ECISD’s request,” Landgraf added. “I am fighting to make sure these students get the recognition they’ve worked so hard to earn.”
