District leaders described the federal Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) identification process and the evidence‑based interventions each campus will pursue. The plans reflect Effective Schools Framework (ESF) diagnostics performed with Region 20 and include targeted actions such as expanded professional learning communities (PLCs), co‑teaching and targeted intervention staffing, use of an approved supplemental curriculum where needed, and partnerships with vetted improvement partners for two campuses.

Key district summary points:
- Ridgeview Elementary: A first‑year TIP produced large gains, with the campus’ closing‑the‑gaps domain score rising from 30 to 76 (district presented data showing improvements in 18 of 19 domain areas); the district reported Ridgeview’s status as \"comprehensive progress.\" The campus is partnering with a vetted improvement partner and using grant funds to support implementation.

- Wood Middle School: After two years on its TIP, Wood’s domain score rose from 34 to 71, with substantial reading improvements and continued focus on math; the district said Wood is also in a “comprehensive progress” support category.

- Delview Elementary: Newly identified for CSI, Delview’s plan centers on data‑driven instruction, PLCs, diagnostic assessments and an intervention program (i‑Ready) to provide differentiated groupings and four intervention sessions per week. Delview received an additional targeted support teacher from district allocation.

District staff underscored that CSI campuses may be eligible to exit identification if they rank outside the bottom 5% and raise their domain scores above the identification baseline for two consecutive years. Ridgeview and Wood both showed strong first‑year results, while Delview’s plan will be implemented in 2024–25 with closer monitoring.

Trustees approved the three plans by voice vote, 7–0.","Trustees approved targeted improvement (CSI/TIP) plans for Delview Elementary, Ridgeview Elementary and Wood Middle School after staff reviewed diagnostics, evidence‑based actions and stakeholder feedback; two campuses reported measurable gains after a year of work.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6341795,"Texas approves NEISD teacher incentive designation plan; district to receive roughly $3 million",480,4560000,5040000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2256377-2a960e08e1e3b66eaaa448f31db84b03&start=4560&end=5040","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2256377-2a960e08e1e3b66eaaa448f31db84b03/thumbnail_4560000.jpg","/articles/6341795/Texas/Texas-approves-NEISD-teacher-incentive-designation-plan-district-to-receive-roughly-3-million","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6341795-ab124a5e0598c8932329736fedac4e15/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154771&Signature=KuZVDVaMy9WjKsJLNYoUvMKEKsTlab4gIiZbT8ysTj3SIDzmfAJM25D-EdEiDPQHntm2SH2xlxhar25DRHTxe~zU0k~SBba0mMA7qisMQOBa-UAl9ll5wRZZkOeHbYDK0kydv-XDuosZC8Xs6EJVLhDJHzAIA4e2gcSzjlBO~g9abphq8i8jNDujEGxH1FVoR6~H5nUurSoSW34kwIkS9FJ8u6LvbO1DThbQklQ4RBp5CrSmXbZA0MJhD5EbRTHXSMMhfWUHUMkGG5gvHW9CN7udnB3sXTJeOawC2bm-bXtC4YUOW7Kd2bh0y4LAiZTGw00QKxY6GLS5BwNSpFxBbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Texas Education Agency has validated Northeast Independent School District’s local designation system under the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA), district staff announced at the board meeting Tuesday. The validation covers teacher effectiveness data from the 2023–24 school year.

Shyla Whitton, executive director for human resources (presenting for the chief of schools), told trustees that Texas Tech University validated NEISD’s submission and the district will receive approximately $3,000,000 in allotment funding to reward designated teachers. Whitton said 308 NEISD teachers were identified for one of three designation levels based on the 2023–24 data, and that designations are valid for five years.

What this means: designated teachers will receive allotment amounts that vary by designation and campus socioeconomic factors; Whitton cited individual allotment ranges for NEISD between about $3,114 and about $26,703 depending on designation and campus weighting. The TEA will verify funding eligibility each spring and recalculate allotments based on campus socioeconomic status. Whitton said teachers will be notified in late April or early May about their allotment amounts.

District process and timeline: NEISD’s local designation journey began in July 2022, included stakeholder engagement, calibration and a data‑capture year, and culminated with the October submission of 2023–24 student growth and observation data for external validation. Whitton credited steering‑committee members, campus ambassadors, principals, and central offices for helping develop the plan.

Use of funds: Whitton also explained the distribution rules: up to 10% of allotment funds can go to district uses; of the campus share, participant teachers voted for a distribution that shares funds with support staff (a district example: 10% of the campus share available to a teacher’s assistant and 80% to the teacher). Whitton said allotment funds must be spent by August of the fiscal year in which they are received.

Trustees asked clarifying questions about eligible assignments, assessments used (the district uses MAP and Circle for Pre‑K), national board certification cohorts and how the designation funding can be expanded to additional eligible teaching assignments in future years. Whitton said NEISD identified eligible assignments that already used beginning‑ and end‑of‑year assessments showing validity and reliability, to avoid adding teacher workload.

Trustees praised the multi‑year effort to reach approval and congratulated the district staff and teachers who participated in the TIA process.","Northeast ISD announced full approval of its Teacher Incentive Allotment local designation system; staff said 308 teachers met criteria and the district expects about $3 million to reward designated educators.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":46,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6341798,"Northeast ISD board votes to consolidate three elementary/middle campuses after heated public comment",5113,7747000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2256377-2a960e08e1e3b66eaaa448f31db84b03&start=7747&end=12860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2256377-2a960e08e1e3b66eaaa448f31db84b03/thumbnail_7747000.jpg","/articles/6341798/Texas/Northeast-ISD-board-votes-to-consolidate-three-elementarymiddle-campuses-after-heated-public-comment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6341798-c32cf6bd66be651536d1ffad802dbd8f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154771&Signature=DpvsqsqmjeDtPxN5cfc68-G1kmDBPm2Yv~dfHY6c9Ra5Ql6JHcG4TSBnWjeZMyb4xOmPcVE9pbxYnvk1Tkr9FPOYHWZxStQOUCFeOlg6WaURvwrjEyjQCRPDHtqscc6Ksnqy9vkGjkquVdqd8UrH9WzSdbNVwMUzIvQFcvE4~wqcUY7qT~fzE5goCRATLFwhuIzSbPuW3VKLIhbDkE-dTwDGlfnCQ8FB1z89-Mo3e5KaBPGQcgvlfsp7fVZufpA3n7MpqYu-iUDo-rQn9E8SpxiaIH0mPRqem3AfoEeXFAztk3zxdxy5HJZwTeP~YYLW3WMKEjCKHOpceTdUblxRuw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Northeast Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 7–0 Tuesday to consolidate three campuses—Wilshire Elementary, Clear Spring Elementary and Driscoll Middle School—and reassign students to neighboring campuses, following presentations from district staff and nearly four hours of public comment.

District leaders and trustees said the decision responds to long-term enrollment declines, rising fixed costs and a projected multi‑million dollar budget shortfall. Superintendent Dr. Micah framed the choice as fiscal and operational, saying “hope isn’t a strategy” when describing state funding uncertainty and continuing enrollment losses.

The board’s action follows staff presentations on facility capacity, projected staffing efficiencies and proposed boundary maps showing how students would be reassigned: Wilshire students east of Wurzbach/Corinne would shift to East Terrell Hills; west-side students would move to Northwood. Clear Spring students north of Wurzbach Parkway would go to El Dorado, south/east to Royal Ridge and south/west to Serna. Driscoll students north/east of Thousand Oaks would be reassigned to Harris and south/west to Garner.

Why it mattered: district leaders said Northeast ISD has lost thousands of students over several years while maintaining the same number of buildings and campus‑level positions. Staff estimated consolidation would produce ongoing savings from overhead reductions and staffing efficiencies; one district estimate discussed in public meetings projected roughly $5 million in annual savings after accounting for the cost of transportation and other adjustments. Trustees and staff said some savings depend on how many positions are filled and natural attrition; fiscal staff warned delaying action could push more of the budget gap into future years.

Public comment was extensive and emotional. Dozens of parents, students and community members urged trustees to reject the plan, citing concerns about commute times, bus crowding, student safety near highways, the effect on special‑education services and community identity. Several students described friendships and supports they feared losing if campuses closed. Tom Cummins, representing Northeast AFT Teachers and Support Personnel, urged the board to delay closures and develop a student‑recruitment plan for endangered campuses. Other speakers pressed the board to seek alternate solutions and to delay implementing any change.

District staff described mitigation steps they plan if the consolidation is implemented. Bill Harrison, the district’s executive director of transportation, said bus ride increases for current riders are estimated at about 10 minutes for some Wilshire riders and about 15–20 minutes for some Driscoll riders; Clear Spring riders were not expected to see major change. Staff said walk‑to‑school students who would become bus‑eligible would add riders to routes and that final routing and exact ride times require mapping the actual student enrollments. The district also proposed expanded school‑choice options for affected families (allowing three ranked choices), a two‑week magnet application window for displaced families, and one‑on‑one transition meetings for families of students with special needs.

Trustees debated whether to delay the vote to allow more time to answer outstanding questions; a motion to delay until no later than April 2025 failed. The board then approved the consolidation motion with direction that district staff return with monthly, written updates describing execution steps—transportation routing, placement of displaced staff, special‑education transitions, magnet and school‑choice processing, and communication plans—so trustees can track implementation.

What happens next: the approved consolidation would take effect for the 2025–26 school year. District staff said they will prioritize placement of displaced employees within the district, hold individualized meetings for families of students with special needs, organize welcome events at receiving campuses, and publish schedules and bus routing as they become available.

Trustees and staff emphasized that the decision was difficult. Superintendent Dr. Micah acknowledged the “horrible, horrible decision” that the change represents for families and staff, and pledged the district will “do everything within our power to support our families and students on that transition.” The board directed monthly updates to monitor the execution plan and to provide transparency for impacted communities.","After extended public comment and staff presentations, the Northeast ISD Board of Trustees approved a district plan to consolidate Wilshire, Clear Spring and Driscoll and reassign students to nearby schools; trustees voted 7–0 following debate and a failed motion to delay.","actionData","errors"]
