Part of an email from the school district.
“Texas Education Agency determined in October of 2016 (once your sophomore year was already under way) that these courses would only be available for 1.0 credit all across the state with the decision going into effect immediately. This is why the change you saw was made for the 2017-2018 APG and why you (as well as all of your peers) were only able to earn 1.0 credit. Here is the citation to the Texas Education Code that listed the date the change went into effect: http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/rules/tac/chapter112/ch112d.html My understanding is that the state made these changes after reviewing and interpreting changes made to the AP curriculum by the College Board (makers of AP).”
