  • Laredo Independent School District (LISD)
    TRANSMITTAL LETTER April 29, 2002 The Honorable Rick Perry The Honorable William R. Ratliff The Honorable James E. "Pete" Laney Members of the 77th Legislature Commissioner Felipe T. Alanis, Ph.D. Fellow Texans: I am pleased to present my performance review of the Laredo Independent School District (LISD). This review is intended to help LISD hold the line on costs, streamline operations, and improve services to ensure that more of every education dollar goes directly into the classroom, with the teachers and children, where it belongs. To aid in this task, I contracted with Resource Consultants, Inc. I have made a number of recommendations to improve LISD's efficiency. I have also highlighted a number of "best practices" in district operations - model programs and services provided by the district's administrators, teachers, and staff. This report outlines 101 detailed recommendations that could save LISD more than $17.1 million over the next five years, while reinvesting more than $4 million to improve educational services and other operations. Net savings are estimated to reach more than $13 million over the next five years-savings that the district can redirect into the classroom. I am grateful for the cooperation of LISD's board, staff, parents, and community members. I commend them for their dedication to improving the educational opportunities for our most precious resource in LISD - our children. I am also pleased to announce that the report is available on my Window on State Government Web site at http://www.window.state.tx.us/tspr/laredo/. Sincerely, Carole Keeton Rylander Texas Comptroller What Is TSPR? The Texas School Performance Review (TSPR), a program of the Texas Comptroller’s office, is the nation’s first state-level vehicle designed to improve the management and finances of public school districts.
