Executive Summary: Board Policy CH-Local states, “Any single, budgeted purchase of goods or services that costs $75,000 or more, regardless of whether the goods or services are competitively purchased, shall require Board approval before a transaction may take place.”
The Food Service Department wishes to utilize the Harris county Department of Education’s Choice Partners’ ice cream contract with La Brisa Ice Cream during the 2016-2017 school year for the procurement of ice cream products. Staff in the Food Service Department do not anticipate the district purchasing sufficient quantities of ice cream products that will result in better prices if the district conducted a separate bid. Therefore, administration recommends utilizing the cooperative contract in order to take advantage of their buying power to obtain lower prices for ice cream products.
Please see the attached pricing from the Choice Partners’ ice cream contract.

Executive Summary: Ensuring that all items on the Board’s monthly agenda are handled as efficiently as possible requires that those items on the posted agenda needing extensive discussion and decision making are given the appropriate amount of time. In Pearland ISD, the school board has also elected to set aside a portion of the monthly meetings for public input from citizens on items that may or may not be on the posted agenda.
Our policy/procedures sets aside up to 30 minutes of each monthly meeting to hear such public comments. In the past, public comments have been sandwiched between “board recognition” and the conduct of longer discussion/decision items on the agenda. In turn, this has necessitated 5 to 10 minute breaks after board recognition and/or public comments in order to allow people exiting to do so without disruption of the meetings. The net result is that items requiring extensive discussion often take place later in the evening than desired.
It is therefore recommended that the Board change the order of business as follows: 5:00 p.m. – Begin the meeting, declare a quorum. 5:05 p.m. - Hold public comments for 5 minutes each, up to 30 minutes total. 5:35 p.m. - The Board recesses into Executive Session. 6:15 to 6:35 p.m. – The Board reconvenes in Open Session, conducts the pledge, opening remarks, and then immediately moves to “board recognition”. Thereafter, a five (5) minute recess occurs allowing those wishing to exit to do so. After those wishing to exit do so, the board moves immediately to the rest of the agenda.
This change is recommended for installation beginning with the November or December 2016 meetings.
In order to better inform the public of these procedures a change (see attached) in the policy BED Local governing public comments is necessary. Specifically, citizens must sign up before the meeting begins at 5:00 p.m. The Board continues to retain the right to hold public comments at a later point in the agenda at any meeting. Thus the Board President in consultation with the Board can move agenda items up or back depending on the needs of that evening.
Citizens are given several different methods of communicating with trustees including phone calls, emails, etc. Therefore, as stipulated in policy/law, public comments are an additional opportunity. Those desiring to ensure their comments are relayed to the public are assured that the school
33 district’s video and audio coverage of each meeting is placed on the district’s website promptly after the meeting.

Executive Summary: On December 8, 2009, the Pearland Board of Trustees approved the Advanced Placement Merit Pay Plan to increase AP enrollment, exam participation, and to raise scores. The approved plan was initially for three years with graduated incentives, continued in 2013 and contingent upon sufficient funds within fiscal means. In school year 2013-2014, the Pearland ISD Board of Trustees modified the plan in an attempt to increase high scores. The revised plan allows $50.00 per passing score of 3, $100 for each score of 4, and $150 for each score of 5 for teachers who had 90% or better exam participation. The maximum amount earned for 2016 AP scores totals $201,200.00.
A six-year summary of the AP Merit Pay incentive plan shows a 385% increase in the number of exams taken.
A continuation of the AP Merit Pay incentive plan is recommended as incentive pay for Advanced Placement teachers in order to sustain growth and to improve AP exam scores.

Executive Summary: At the September 2013 Board Meeting, trustees requested the administration develop a plan for expanding teacher incentive pay to include results for STAAR/STAAR EOC student performance. During the December 2013 Board Meeting, a STAAR/STAAR EOC Teacher Incentive Pay plan was presented to the Board and with a few adjustments the incentive pay was implemented for the first time during the 2014 – 2015 school year. The goal of the STAAR/STAAR EOC Teacher Incentive Pay is to award classroom teachers who positively impact student academic improvement, growth, and/or achievement.
There are two components to the Teacher Incentive Pay – one that rewards teachers based on an increase in overall STAAR/STAAR EOC performance for the campus and one that rewards teachers based on Distinction Designations the campus receives. When planning for the 2016 – 2017 budget, the district allocated $330,000 for STAAR/STAAR EOC Teacher Incentive Pay. At this point, the total payout for the 2015 – 2016 school year is $446,800.
STAAR/STAAR EOC Performance
Each Pearland ISD PEIMS Teacher of Record (TOR) will receive a specified sum of $1000 if their campus and subject meets or exceeds the required growth in that STAAR tested area. If the TOR instructs in more than one STAAR tested area, the teacher is eligible to receive funds for each of these areas.
Any Pearland ISD campus personnel specifically assigned to assist in the classroom instruction of and/or provide academic support to SPED, ELL, or LEP students (e.g. inclusion teacher, SPED/ESL inclusion aide, Title I teacher, Dyslexia teacher, ESL monitor teachers) will receive a specified sum of $500 (teacher) or $250 (paraprofessional) for each STAAR tested subject/course that meets or exceeds the growth in that STAAR tested area for the Special Education/LEP student group. This incentive specifically targets the performance of special education/LEP students, so only the Special Education/ELL Met Standard will be used for each content area.
A Pearland ISD PEIMS Teacher of Record (TOR) that serves only Special Education students (Resource/Life Skills teacher) or only LEP students (Bilingual teacher) will receive a specified sum of $500 if their campus and subject meets or exceeds the growth in their STAAR tested area for Special Education/LEP students but does not meet it for ALL students. If the campus and subject meets or exceeds the growth in the STAAR tested area for ALL students, the teacher will receive only the $1000 award.
Academic Achievement Distinction Designations
63
Elementary, Middle School, and Junior High Distinction Designation awards were based on the following: Each Pearland ISD PEIMS Teacher of Record (TOR) for a STAAR tested subject/course receives $200 per distinction earned by the campus in their content area. Rewards based on distinctions for content area teachers include Academic Achievement in Reading/ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Each Pearland ISD Reading and Math PEIMS TOR in grades 4 – 8 receives $200 if the campus earns the Top 25% Student Progress distinction designation. Each Pearland ISD PEIMS TOR in a STAAR tested subject/course and receives $200 if the campus earns the Top 25% Closing Achievement Gaps distinction designation. Each Pearland ISD PEIMS TOR in a STAAR tested subject/course and grade receives $200 if the campus earns the Postsecondary Readiness distinction designation. High School Distinction Designation awards were based on the following: Each Pearland ISD PEIMS Teacher of Record (TOR) in Algebra I and English II receives $350 if the campus earns the Top 25% Student Progress distinction designation. Each Pearland ISD PEIMS Teacher of Record (TOR) in a STAAR EOC tested course (Algebra I, Biology, English I, English II, and US History) receives $350 if the campus earns the Top 25% Closing Achievement Gaps distinction designation. Each Pearland ISD PEIMS Teacher of Record (TOR) in a STAAR EOC tested course (Algebra I, Biology, English I, English II, and US History) receives $350 if the campus earns the Postsecondary Readiness distinction designation.

Executive Summary: John Robuck with BOK Financial Securities, Inc. and Dan Martinez with Winstead PC will be available to discuss this item with the board of trustees. While it appears that the District may be able to refund outstanding bonds at lower interest rates, there is enough volatility in the market place that the window of opportunity may only last a few months.
To allow flexibility in order to take advantage of the lowest possible interest rates, the following parameters will be taken into consideration should the board of trustees approve refunding of outstanding debt:
1. The size of the refunding issues may not exceed $75 million. 2. The refunding must generate a 5% present value savings. 3. The maturity of the refunded bonds may not exceed 25 years. 4. Any authorization from the school board is valid for six months.

Executive Summary: The 2015 – 2016 student assessment results once again represent the strong collaboration among teachers, administrators and instructional personnel to provide classroom learning environments that meet the depth and complexity required to meet the more rigorous STAAR standards. Some especially high-performing results include: • For STAAR Grades 3 – 8, Pearland ISD scores are among the highest performing districts (2nd – 8th place) in Region 4 (out of 50 districts) in all grades and subjects tested. Compared to mid-size and large districts in the greater Houston area, Pearland ISD scored in the top 4 for all grades and subjects. • For STAAR End-of-Course, Pearland ISD is among the top 5 school districts in Region 4 in Algebra 1, Biology, English 1, and US History. Pearland ISD is 6th highest in Region 4 in English 2. Pearland ISD is again in the top 4 when compared to mid-size and large districts in the greater Houston area. Analyzing the 2016 STAAR/STAAR EOC released tests, instructional personnel, administrators, and teachers will continue to address STAAR performance of our at risk student populations and develop more effective interventions to increase student performance. Beginning in the 2015 – 2016 school year, the passing standard (Level 2 Satisfactory) will increase every year – this means students are required to answer more questions correctly in order to meet the passing standard.
2016 State Accountability
The public school accountability system in Texas allows for a comprehensive evaluation of district and campus effectiveness by using a framework of four indices that measure the quality of learning from different perspectives. Index 1 provides a snapshot of student performance across all subjects Index 2 measures year-to-year student improvement Index 3 emphasizes the academic achievement of certain student groups Index 4 emphasizes the importance of a high school diploma for success in postsecondary life.
Additionally, distinction designations highlight achievement in specific areas by those districts and campuses that earn a Met Standard rating.
Pearland ISD received the Met Standard district accountability rating and all campuses received the Met Standard rating. In addition, 19 of the 22 Pearland ISD campuses received one or more distinctions. Pace is identified as an Alternative campus and therefore not eligible for the distinctions. Statewide 51% of campuses earned one or more distinctions and 6% of campuses earned every distinction for which they were eligible. In Pearland ISD 86% of campuses earned one or more distinctions and 14% of campuses
80 earned every distinction for which they were eligible.
Independent of the state’s accountability system, House Bill 5 requires all school districts to evaluate the district’s performance and the performance of each campus in regard to community and student engagement. The community engagement requirement is an opportunity for districts to showcase areas of excellence and success as well as recognize areas in need of improvement and set future goals valued in the community. The statute requires each district to evaluate and designate a performance rating for the district and each of its campuses in the district based on criteria set by a local committee. Pearland ISD and all campuses received an overall performance rating of Exemplary for the 2015 – 2016 school year.
2016 STAAR EOC Performance
Overall, Pearland ISD students outperformed the state and Region 4 averages in STAAR EOC performance in all subject areas. In addition, STAAR Satisfactory Performance increased from the 2015 administration in English 2 and US History, and performance remained stable for Algebra 1 and Biology. Advanced performance (Level 3) increased in all subjects from 2015 to 2016.
2016 STAAR Performance
Overall, Pearland ISD students again scored higher than the state and Region 4 averages for all grade levels and subject areas meeting the Satisfactory Performance standard. In addition, STAAR Satisfactory Performance increased from the 2015 administration in 4th grade reading and 8th grade reading and science. Advanced performance (Level 3) increased in 3rd grade math, 4th grade math and writing, 5th grade math, 6th grade math, 7th grade reading, math and writing, and 8th grade math, science, and social studies.
Advanced Placement
Enrollment in Advanced Placement (AP) and Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP) courses has increased again for the 2016 – 2017 school year with an increase in AP and Pre-AP enrollment. In addition, the AP test results indicate a significant increase in the number of AP Scholars from 242 in 2015 to 313 in 2016 (a 29% increase).
ACT and SAT Participation and Performance
The number of graduating seniors participating in ACT and SAT testing increased from 58.5% in 2014 to 63.1% testing in 2015. The average ACT score remained at 22.8 in 2016. There was an increase in the average SAT score from 1045 in 2014 to 1054 in 2015. This increase is in contrast to the 22 point decrease for Texas and 7 point decrease globally in average SAT scores for 2015. To increase student performance on ACT and SAT, an advanced SAT/ACT preparation courses is offered at the high school level, SAT/ACT vocabulary training is being provided to teachers in grades 5 and above, and targeted preparation activities have been embedded in English and math courses.
Dual Credit Courses
Pearland ISD Dual Credit courses provide qualified students the opportunity to earn college credits while attending high school. Students maximize their high school years by selecting courses which will count as credit for both their high school diploma and college degree. Highly motivated students may pursue an Associate in Arts Degree in General Studies and a high school diploma at the same time. During the 2015 – 2016 school year 787 Pearland ISD students earned a total of 2,489 college credits in 32 different dual credit courses. In addition, there was a 26% increase in dual credit course enrollment for the 2016 – 2017 school year.
At the Board meeting, trustees will be presented with a Power Point presentation detailing student assessment results, 2016 accountability results, and a summary of Dual Credit student
81 participation and performance. A copy of the Power Point presentation is attached.
