Success Initiative and AMI - Accelerated Mathematics Initiative  The Texas Student
Success Initiative (SSI), passed by the 76th Texas Legislative in 1999, requires that
Grade 3 students must meet the standard on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills

specific support components to be in place. Additional promotion provisions are phased in
over the next few years. Learn more about the K-2
