\"My grievance was based on a hostile work environment and harassment,\" Jabbar said, recounting that she filed a grievance that was later heard by district officials. She said she interviewed for an ELA/coaching position at Ronald McNair Junior High on April 28 and \"approximately a week later\" the offer was rescinded. \"The offer was not rescinded because the position was filled,\" she said, adding that \"reliable sources\" had told her district human-resources staff and a named administrator discouraged principals from hiring her.

Jabbar also said she applied for other positions at Shirley Brothers Elementary and Nolan Ryan Junior High and did not receive follow-up, which she attributed to the same alleged interference. \"What I'm currently experiencing is retaliation,\" she said, and asked the board for an investigation so she could regain the ability to seek employment with Alvin ISD.

Board President stopped public comment at the three‑minute limit and no district representative offered a response during the meeting. The board did not take action on Jabbar's request that evening; the president noted that public comment does not itself result in immediate board action but may be referred to the superintendent for review.

The allegations Jabbar raised—naming a campus principal and human-resources staff—were made in the public-comment portion of the meeting and were not disputed on the record at that time. The district did not provide a statement in the meeting transcript. Any investigation or personnel action would be handled under district procedures and state law governing personnel matters and grievances.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Alvin ISD Board Meeting - 8/12/25","oneSentenceSummary","A former Alvin ISD kindergarten teacher told the board she experienced retaliation after filing a grievance and said a job offer was rescinded; the district did not respond during the meeting and the board did not take immediate action.","taxTitle","ALVIN ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",12952,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6804339,"Alvin ISD trustees approve consent items, contracts and policies; motions pass unanimously",863,4555300,5418935,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5575159-88c4b45ab0a863b53d516f0639385526&start=4555&end=5418","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5575159-88c4b45ab0a863b53d516f0639385526/thumbnail_4555300.jpg","/articles/6804339/Texas/Alvin-ISD-trustees-approve-consent-items-contracts-and-policies-motions-pass-unanimously","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6804339-d829f990c5343ab54a8d724efb652f7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770645987&Signature=ILBv43gnTM9Vp4Drh6uHfDXKYJ8tV722KqpY9Y6hiNo5bUCg0tzoN9sQmlbDxAWxStbsp5ieF4ezaMo-ZiBjkS7DRHEGkCxYCNGJQggVEOV4LywTnxW-CfAfVLJpESyTXD5a7XAFA3EPH1JJwbZ21DKXxv8d3ljqX9aSI5vc6XlBjXMHaO-2LVSNyCT9CAeroVEnUNHjDKbsqsHdHwSnHNJ4qdrjifeOUJlJZCNV4E94PD-Td6Z-XsHEMH6frMXWi3G-LDZzyKlUfudSLi~cUc4MCnB~PBz3O4GYR3JoKiQ6s8kRKiIvATeJRQHGbD9EHhlAYqQVsDhe87vseFaVSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alvin ISD Board of Trustees moved through its consent and action items with unanimous votes on several proposals.

Brent Shaw, the district's assessment lead, said the district improved in the percentage of students performing at 'approaches,' 'meets' and 'masters' across reading, math, science and social studies compared with 2024. \"We did increase in each subject area for our approaches grade level and higher,\" Shaw said, adding that the district also pushed more students to the 'masters' level.

The presentation included disaggregated results and progress against House Bill 3 five‑year goals: Shaw reported the third-grade reading target set for 2025 (59% meets and above) was reached (60%), third-grade math target (50%) was met at 53%, and the college/career/military readiness (CCMR) target (78%) was exceeded with 81% of graduates meeting CCMR criteria. \"It's what happens after the assessment that makes all the difference,\" Shaw said, emphasizing continuous-improvement steps the district will take with campus staff and instructional coaches.

Presenters described the methodology and cautioned the numbers are preliminary, produced using district templates and third‑party tools; they estimated a standard error of plus or minus one to two percentage points and said official ratings would be released by TEA on August 15 with finalization in December after appeals. Using internal calculations, staff projected an overall district accountability score of 84 for 2025 and 82 for 2024.

Curriculum and instruction leaders described district strategies to sustain gains, including focused year‑long professional learning, small‑group instruction, formative assessment cycles, use of digital tools (Imagine Math, I‑Ready, I‑Excel) and an emphasis on instructional coaching and professional learning communities. They highlighted priority-campus work and targeted supports for historically low-performing student groups.

Board members praised the results and asked for additional details; presenters said a fuller analysis tied to House Bill 3 goals and campus performance objectives would be presented in October for board approval.","District staff presented preliminary 2024–25 STAAR data showing increases across performance levels and said Alvin ISD exceeded several HB 3 targets (third-grade reading 60% meets+, third-grade math 53%, CCMR 81%); staff projected an overall district rating of 84 for 2025 pending official TEA release.","actionData","errors"]
