Greg said current enrollment is approximately 1,735 students and the district budgeted at 1,750; he reported a projection that would leave the district about 7% short on state revenue compared with budget assumptions. “My projection at this time is that… we’re short a minimum of 7% on our revenue,” he said, adding that the district could remain in the black if staff keep spending under control.

Greg and finance staff discussed that the shortfall primarily affects state revenue rather than salaries (which comprise the largest expense category). He cautioned trustees the district will need to “tighten the belt” and continue monitoring revenues and expenses through the fiscal year.

Trustees asked for clarification about total district debt when bonds and new issues were considered; district staff noted the question and said they would supply details. No formal budget action or amendments were recorded in open session.","Superintendent Greg reported district enrollment and state revenue projections below budgeted levels and estimated a shortfall of about 7% on state revenue, advising expense control to avoid operating deficits.",{"_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},6573445,"Perryton ISD reports drop in discipline incidents; superintendent backs House Bill 6 as tool for classroom management",579,646000,1225000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3179989-1e6c04d1ad975be4062863f62a62cee9&start=646&end=1225","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3179989-1e6c04d1ad975be4062863f62a62cee9/thumbnail_646000.jpg","/articles/6573445/Texas/Perryton-ISD-reports-drop-in-discipline-incidents-superintendent-backs-House-Bill-6-as-tool-for-classroom-management","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6573445-fb76954e689dc191e445ce79a39272eb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146540&Signature=cOKnZXM71O3YxHS32a9ETfhi6dMk3pEY4LJgSu7zxln7LnCvzWpn58BcEd0sc1WQ0Y1zLWQimbKZ7sgFD6S-uCMcqpmoiaBIOhCdGtRH3c2TnSYgLOjvQhJkZubPNZmXjk4OSraXZW5-l3D3vlDcxOsAXeVkxdKR0l-oRXsFV58nvfebMIcO9cY9mUV8mFSFAA2YY3NFFkZBawGBPh~3Pm1Hv1mYE3CGWJodmMYR~nHuja~pdpTQjPhDaJLf8-vhgVq0nY9XZgTpeBR~3cLhh9IYfZTIP7WT5aDm-DB5My4~4BRUBvMObhKKIKJ1mbesRdlCjhOQiu7szqX9H5IHvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Greg told the Perryton ISD trustees that discipline incidents at the district’s junior high and high school have fallen markedly this year after administrators raised behavioral expectations.

Greg said the district reviewed three years of data and found discipline numbers initially rose when administrators increased standards, then fell the following year. “In our high school, almost a hundred discipline incidents lower this year than last year,” he said.

On equity in discipline, Greg said the distribution of incidents by race matched district demographics: he reported about 75% of discipline incidents involved Hispanic students and about 25% involved Anglo students, matching the district’s approximate ethnic composition. He said the data review was intended to check for disproportionality.

Legislative tools: in response to a trustee question about whether proposed state legislation affected planning for alternative placements, Greg said House Bill 6 (referred to in the meeting as “House Bill 6”) is part of the district’s consideration. He described the bill as providing administrators and teachers “a few more tools…to keep a classroom environment…a place where learning can occur,” including options such as virtual instruction for students who otherwise would repeatedly disrupt learning.

Greg stressed the district’s goal of protecting the learning environment for the majority of students while providing options for students whose behavior repeatedly disrupts instruction. No formal policy action or vote on disciplinary procedures was taken in open session during the meeting.

Trustees and staff encouraged community members to visit campuses and observe daily operations. Greg said he believed the district’s administrators and students were producing positive results.","Superintendent Greg told the board that discipline incidents at Perryton High School and junior high declined after administrators raised expectations; he said pending state legislation (House Bill 6) could provide additional options for handling disruptive students.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6573449,"Perryton ISD officials explain new A–F accountability release, say state rule changes complicate comparisons",549,2827000,3376000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3179989-1e6c04d1ad975be4062863f62a62cee9&start=2827&end=3376","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3179989-1e6c04d1ad975be4062863f62a62cee9/thumbnail_2827000.jpg","/articles/6573449/Texas/Perryton-ISD-officials-explain-new-AF-accountability-release-say-state-rule-changes-complicate-comparisons","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6573449-8795de654fe0ae453040bce3a66fc827/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146540&Signature=Ovsf9ZPWXETPvdkfwLyg~djR6ZYtEYIjk7MH8HzKSaLvT6bQPlemwb0tZr0sWCjMulMZ6BiX6vtPykEYjdAMIS-~pOxD2qBEK1xo-ARpVmwODxyL6VxKkKczOC0sM~reeLtB1Eu9deG1Zw3o77NMqg3lTrcs~x5R1T9pu8M-p7aF0G~zigixTT9sO6REqkiRaBYxexgRO5DAOONs0AwhESkM4gW-zRxGjuB~swyjPxMD3iHgaE8ZWfhJ6Pxlh-mCP9E1-cEQ1feajXWwBrF1OeLMBusagLxYa03V0jJso80A3Ot-ydMWedqO6cHa0Zu-CB0E~PkPobHSPzBxF1xRzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Curriculum director Dr. A. and Superintendent Greg briefed the Perryton ISD board on recently released 2023 A–F accountability ratings and how state rule changes make year-to-year comparisons difficult.

Dr. A. said the Texas Education Agency released the 2023 accountability manual in October 2023 — after students took STAAR tests that spring — and that change, combined with new cut points and an increased college, career and military readiness (CCMR) requirement, meant school ratings for 2023 are not directly comparable to 2022. “You can't compare the 2022 to the 2023 ratings, even though they're both considered A through F,” Dr. A. told trustees.

What changed: district officials said TEA revised domain cut points, raised the CCMR threshold for an A (from about 60% to 88% under the new calculations) and altered the district weighting so larger enrollments (for example, the high school) carry proportionally more weight than smaller campuses. Dr. A. also described changes in STAAR test delivery, embedded writing, and online administration that complicated year-over-year interpretation.

District results and follow-up: Dr. A. provided a campus-level summary using the state’s “what-if” conversion (applying 2023 rules to earlier data) and reported the district composite and campus scores she said were available: district 81; Rod Elementary 88; Williams Intermediate 81; Perryton Junior High 81; Perryton High School 83; Ludy (alternative) 75. She emphasized the district’s ongoing use of the assessment and instructional data to guide changes rather than relying solely on letter grades.

Dr. A. and the superintendent said district staff had been using the results internally to drive instruction, adjust curriculum and plan professional development. Dr. A. said the district will bring in a consultant (Lehi Forward) funded by the SSA to support inclusion and special education systems and will invite other SSA districts to participate.

Trustees asked about 2024 and beyond. Dr. A. said the state has indicated it will try to release accountability guidance earlier in the cycle so districts know scoring rules before tests are administered; officials said that would improve stability.

No board action was taken during the open meeting; the discussion was informational.","District curriculum leaders and the superintendent briefed the board on Texas Education Agency changes to A–F accountability for 2023 and the impact on Perryton ISD, including revised cut points, CCMR weighting and how the district plans to respond.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6573454,"Perryton ISD plans to move Ludy Martin alternative campus to high school site; woodshop program put on hold",374,535000,909000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3179989-1e6c04d1ad975be4062863f62a62cee9&start=535&end=909","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3179989-1e6c04d1ad975be4062863f62a62cee9/thumbnail_535000.jpg","/articles/6573454/Texas/Perryton-ISD-plans-to-move-Ludy-Martin-alternative-campus-to-high-school-site-woodshop-program-put-on-hold","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6573454-bc726a9d604c9934f7ef678b21d42196/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146540&Signature=dEoaLBHGIvVfxCmvwgAWBxJXC~TXW2zdBjtr-ba4LpgUB-s~3SW30Iuqyt30YkCc-7vA8AW1~qdxxnr7I51wqVroA2BEnnguMAVZtJ7nogImbxGxFGe6yQjV1t~rtXZJFZ166S96jRxjet4-eRmyjDoU3yJQgw7EqRqmMPSiW0HFmNfJXw4n8Ak5BSOt6dMMZlj7d6Su1torxEmBDbH-4RqnkzCewdueFmMhrOxWDcU4vPicIqBQMoUoPlL4jjCFv55YIQw9neHb5ad7HgoWnvkk-0rYJaqOkLK0SEqmok19R~56cBPXsnB~fq70EcxZg8EN-JbNSHme4u-q5ZICdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Greg told the Perryton ISD Board of Trustees that the Ludy Martin Accelerated Learning Center, an alternative program for students pursuing a nontraditional path to a diploma, will be moved next year from a north-of-town building into space associated with Perryton High School.

Greg said the district plans a phased transition over up to two years, eventually locating the program in a separate building behind the high school (the building currently used for woodshop and labeled the IT building). He said the relocated campus would have its own entrance and parking, and would remain a distinct program rather than being blended into the regular high school.

Why it matters: district leaders said the move aims to consolidate facilities and reduce the cost of keeping a separate building open for a small enrollment while preserving an alternative pathway. Greg told trustees the program historically served 30–50 students; he said enrollment has fallen but the program’s role remains necessary for students who would not graduate in a traditional setting.

On related services, Greg said the DAP room (discipline alternative placement) will move with the Ludy Martin program and that state rules require the DAP room be separate from regular classrooms during placement, not necessarily off-campus. “It just has to be separate and those kids have to be kept separate while they’re in the DAP placement,” he said.

Greg also told the board the district plans to place the woodshop program on hold for a “few years.” He said a district CTE (career and technical education) credit / accountability explanation drove the decision: to earn CTE credit that helps district accountability, programs generally must lead to an industry certification or workplace credential. He said the current woodshop courses do not meet that threshold and have become one of the smallest programs at the high school.

Enrollment and equipment: the superintendent said only 26 students requested woodshop next year in a high school population of about 580 students; the district had been asked to limit the program roster to 16. He said the district will store woodshop equipment rather than dispose of it in case state certification requirements change and the program becomes viable again.

Board discussion and next steps: trustees asked whether pending state disciplinary legislation factored into space decisions; Greg said it did and cited House Bill 6 as an example of legislation that could give administrators additional options (see related article on discipline). He encouraged any community members with questions to contact him and said the district will proceed with the phased move and program changes over the coming school years.

No formal motion or vote was recorded on the record about these plans during the open meeting portion.","Superintendent Greg told the Perryton ISD board the Ludy Martin Accelerated Learning Center will be moved to space near the high school to consolidate facilities; the district also plans to pause the woodshop program because it does not currently lead to a career certification and enrollment is low.","actionData","errors"]
