Tison Middle School, Crockett Elementary and Ikard Elementary must file Targeted Improvement Plans…

By Christopher Weaver ·

The improvement-plan memo says the three campuses' plans are required under state accountability and school-improvement rules and go to TEA after board approval; the local plans for Seguin and Hall add district monitoring. A separate item proposes the district's first House Bill 3 goals since its last set, adopted in December 2020, expired in June 2025: five-year targets for early literacy, early math and college, career and military readiness from 2026-27 through 2030-31, with 2025-26 as the baseline. The memo says 2026-27 will be the last full year of STAAR before the state's Student Success Tool begins in 2027-28, so the goals may be revisited. The board was also asked to approve a state ESL waiver for one Ikard Elementary teacher who serves emergent bilingual students and does not yet hold ESL certification.
