criterion-referenced  alternative assessment instruments to be 
administered to each student in a special education program under 
Subchapter A, Chapter 29, [who receives modified instruction in the 
essential knowledge and skills identified under Section 28.002 for 
the assessed subject but] for whom an assessment instrument adopted 
under Subsection (a), even with allowable accommodations
[modifications], would not provide an appropriate measure of 
student achievement, as determined by the student's admission, 
review, and dismissal committee.  [The assessment instruments 
required under this subsection must assess essential knowledge and 
skills and growth in the subjects of reading, mathematics, and 
writing.  A student's admission, review, and dismissal committee 
shall determine whether any allowable modification is necessary in 
administering to the student an assessment instrument required 
under this subsection.  The assessment instruments required under 
this subsection shall be administered on the same schedule as the 
assessment instruments administered under Subsection (a).]
