TEA Releases 2017 Accountability Ratings
TEA News Releases Online Aug. 15, 2017 TEA releases 2017 accountability ratings AUSTIN – The Texas Education Agency (TEA) today released the 2017 state accountability ratings for more than 1,200 school districts and charters, as well as more than 8,700 campuses statewide. The ratings reveal that approximately 95 percent of school districts and charters across Texas have achieved the rating of Met Standard. In addition, the number of individual campuses achieving a rating of Met Standard or Met Alternative Standard increased again this year, while the number of campuses receiving a rating of Improvement Required continued to decline. Districts, campuses, and charters receive one of three ratings under the accountability system: Met Standard, Met Alternative Standard, or Improvement Required. School district ratings (including charter operators) by category in 2017 are as follows: DISTRICT LEVEL 2017 RATING DISTRICT CHARTER TOTAL PERCENT Met Standard/Alternative 993 153 1,146 95.3% Met Standard 993 126 1,119 93.0% Met Alternative Standard N/A 27 27 2.2% Improvement Required 28 16 44 3.7% Not Rated 2 11 13 1.1% TOTAL 1,023 180 1,203 100.0% The 2017 ratings are based on a system that uses a performance index framework that includes four areas: Index 1 – Student Achievement (which provides a snapshot of performance across all subjects); Index 2 – Student Progress (which measures year-to-year student progress by student group); Index 3 – Closing Performance Gaps (which emphasizes the academic achievement of economically disadvantaged students and the lowest performing racial/ethnic student groups); and Index 4 – Postsecondary Readiness (which emphasizes the importance of earning a high school diploma that provides students with the foundation necessary for success in college, the workforce, job training programs or the military). -

EVALUATION REPORT B U R E a U O F P R O G R a M E VALUATION Volume 1, Volumvolume 9, Issue 2, October 2015
EVALUATION REPORT B U R E A U O F P R O G R A M E VALUATION Volume 1, VolumVolume 9, Issue 2, October 2015 Reflective Learning in the Assistant Principal Leadership Program in Preparation for School Improvement, 2014–2015 By Venita Holmes, Dr.P.H. This study explored the extent that the Houston Independent School District’s (HISD) assistant principal leadership training program (AP1/AP2) facilitated reflective learning of the 2014–2015 cohorts. In addition, the evaluation examined the academic achievement of students in schools of AP1/AP2 cohort participants. Leadership training applied the ISLLC framework that focused on creating a shared vision within the community, a culture of student learning, efficient management, and ethics to prepare participants for roles as principals. A total of 79 HISD leaders were identified as AP1 cohort participants and 66 leaders were AP2 cohort participants. Eleven training sessions were provided to strengthen their practice as leaders, increase their instructional knowledge, skills, and strategies; and inform their future feedback with teachers in 24 skill areas. In general, all ISLLC standards were reflected by AP1/AP2 survey respondents in at least one of the training sessions, with data for monitoring and improvement, district curriculum implementation, and mentoring staff/modeling as the three most prevalent skill areas considered as benefits in their reflective learning. Gaps were noted in participants’ reflections of benefits in skill areas related to clean and safe schools, effective presentation skills, team leading and building, and technology. This may be related to these areas being emphasized in principal leadership training rather than AP1/AP2 training. -
Report of High School Graduates' Enrollment And
Report of 2012-2013 High School Graduates’ Enrollment and Academic Performance in Texas Public Higher Education in FY 2014 Texas statute requires every school district to include, with their performance report, information received under Texas Education Code §51.403(e). This information, provided to districts from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), reports on student performance in postsecondary institutions during the first year enrolled after graduation from high school. Student performance is measured by the Grade Point Average (GPA) earned by 2012-2013 high school graduates who attended public four-year and two-year higher education in FY 2014. The data is presented alphabetically for each county, school district and high school. The bookmarks can be used to select the first letter of a county. Then the user can scroll down to the desired county, school district and high school. For each student, the grade points and college-level semester credit hours earned by a student in fall 2013, spring 2014, and summer 2014 are added together and averaged to determine the GPA. These GPAs are accumulated in a range of five categories from < 2.0 to > 3.5. If a GPA could not be calculated for some reason, that student is placed in the “Unknown” column. GPA data is only available for students attending public higher education institutions in Texas. If a high school has fewer than five students attending four-year or two-year public higher education institutions, the number of students is shown but no GPA breakout is given. If a student attended both a four-year and a two-year institution in FY 2014, the student’s GPA is shown in the type of institution where the most semester credit hours were earned. -

Letter to Households, Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) 2021-2022 July 1, 2021 Dear IDEA Parent/Guardian: We are pleased to inform you that the Child Nutrition Program at IDEA Public Schools will be implementing the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for the 2021-2022 school year. In CEP schools, applications are no longer required. Through the CEP, parents/guardians, who have students at qualifying CEP schools, will not be required to submit a meal application for free, reduced, and full priced meals for the upcoming school year. However, the Student Information System of IDEA Public Schools will obtain income surveys as per state compliance to obtain social economic data for some students not currently directly certified through CEP. Income surveys are only to obtain data and will not affect students from CEP schools to qualify for free breakfast and lunch. Schools that participate in CEP provide healthy breakfasts and lunches each day at no charge for ALL students enrolled in that CEP school during the 2021-2022 school year. The IDEA school sites that qualify for the CEP for the 2021-2022 school year include: Rio Grande Valley San Antonio Austin El Paso Tarrant Houston County IDEA Donna IDEA Carver IDEA Montopolis IDEA Rio Vista IDEA Rise IDEA Hardy IDEA Edinburg IDEA Eastside IDEA Bluff Springs IDEA Edgemere IDEA Achieve IDEA Spears IDEA McAllen IDEA Judson IDEA Rundberg IDEA Mesa Hills IDEA Edgecliff IDEA Mission IDEA Mays IDEA Kyle IDEA Horizon Vista IDEA North -

School Board Members FROM: Terry B.Grier, Ed.D
MEMORANDUM January 23, 2015 TO: School Board Members FROM: Terry B.Grier, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: VANGUARD PROGRAM: 2013–2014 CONTACT: Carla Stevens, 713-556-6700 According to Section 29.123 of the Texas Education Code, the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students (G/T) forms the basis of program accountability for state- mandated services for G/T students. In the Houston Independent School District, G/T students were served through one of two program designs: Board-approved Vanguard/Magnet or Vanguard Neighborhood. Attached is the evaluation report summarizing the effectiveness of the Vanguard Program during the 2013–2014 school year. The state plan outlines three different performance measures that may be viewed as a continuum: In Compliance, Recommended, and Exemplary. There are five components that are addressed in the plan: Student Assessment, Program Design, Curriculum and Instruction, Professional Development, and Family-Community Involvement. In 2007–2008, HISD implemented fourteen Vanguard Standards that were aligned to the five components of the Texas State Plan. The evaluation report centered on measuring the effectiveness of the Vanguard Program based on the state’s five components and comparing year eight of implementation of the Vanguard Standards with baseline data from 2006–2007. The Vanguard program supports the district’s strategic direction by supporting initiatives 1 and 3 by having an effective teacher in every classroom and rigorous instructional standards and supports. In 2013–2014, a total of 32,906 students attending 259 elementary, middle, and high schools participated in the district's Vanguard Program, reflecting 16.9 percent of the district K–12 population, representing a slight decrease from 17.0 percent in 2012–2013.
