The presenter summarized that for grades 3–8 reading and math, College Station ISD scored above the state in the aggregate, and that district \"masters\" (the highest performance level indicating college- and career-readiness) increased from 2024 to 2025 in 75% of tested grades and subjects. The presenter also noted that for the first time the district received access to TELPAS speaking recordings for English learners, which will help classroom support for those students.

Staff walked trustees through grade-level breakdowns by subject (reading, mathematics, science in grades 5 and 8, and social studies in grade 8) and end-of-course (EOC) exams for high school courses such as English I/II, Algebra I, biology and U.S. history. The presenter emphasized that STAAR is one data point: district staff use multiple measures, including MAP growth and locally developed benchmarks, to evaluate student growth and guide instruction.

The presenter described accountability domains that factor into the overall rating: Domain 1 (Student Achievement), Domain 2 (School Progress) and Domain 3 (Closing the Gaps). The district’s 2025 domain scores were 84 for student achievement, 81 for school progress and 79 for closing the gaps, producing the overall score of 83. Staff also highlighted that the district earned 49 distinction designations in 2025, up from 37 in 2024.

Board members asked how to interpret small percentage changes between years; the presenter said STAAR measures one day’s performance and that staff prioritize cohort and growth analyses over single-year comparisons. The presenter noted also that some subjects (for example social studies) can show larger variability because of test design and student fatigue at the end of testing windows.

Trustees and staff discussed concerns about computer versus human grading of extended constructed responses on English EOC tests; the presenter noted that rescoring by humans has shown score increases in some districts but that TEA charges a rescore fee in certain cases. The presenter described local steps to prepare students for extended written responses and to use multiple benchmarks to validate instructional priorities.

Staff said the district would share the fuller dataset with board members and make campus-specific reports available publicly through the state portal.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CSISD Board Meeting 9/16/2025 - Workshop","oneSentenceSummary","District assessment staff presented preliminary 2025 STAAR results showing College Station ISD above state averages across most grades and subjects, an increase in 'masters' level performance in 75% of tested grades/subjects and a district accountability score of 83 for 2025.","taxTitle","COLLEGE STATION ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",13528,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6468455,"College Station ISD transportation staff report rollout of StopFinder tracking app and student bus-pass IDs",1125,3132000,4257000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782153-9081a0de30b3fd6cc3f782a75c848d54&start=3132&end=4257","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782153-9081a0de30b3fd6cc3f782a75c848d54/thumbnail_3132000.jpg","/articles/6468455/Texas/College-Station-ISD-transportation-staff-report-rollout-of-StopFinder-tracking-app-and-student-bus-pass-IDs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468455-b45ad609841c1fea50fa7604425db107/orig.mp4?Expires=1770497745&Signature=JoPpvHZ1seMimqddiozTCHtf94w13~T7y692bqv8NWY6vEkx8pDuoXqD2nb-IrfmVyE6ib2saFlRCAqQWzRE0ZSZZs0vnnGTz4oDyfFfjsrw3AYni8WlEt6EMwv7oaR-wT6z44Snqja-C~sBt8S5G2HX0d-RasmFXxGi01F6uHWMVuc-3NayjN4EHOPB6G9c5DPMsWGmLtKd3rRl~z8c2lu4Zw2Lto9is~rkLsTbCrX17TWf~Jzr8tkbDVVQtnXCO-MpCAlHpLArTfu6B0O1BVV63ERdoEZXm4r1kO2qruwt1yk0uqbJZQqyjZN73XGPdh~o0ZRD~6k57xfJIxxDJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","College Station ISD transportation staff told the board at a Sept. 16 workshop that the district has rolled out the StopFinder real-time tracking app and student bus-pass identification system to improve safety, communication and route management.

Staff said the StopFinder app provides parents with real-time arrival and departure information, geofencing alerts, and customizable notifications. \"It sends them notifications for when the bus arrives at their stop, when they depart, and when they get to the school,\" a transportation presenter told trustees.

The district issues a bus-pass badge to each registered student for 2025–26; the badges include the student photo, name and ID and can serve as a temporary school ID if needed. Staff said badges are issued after parents register for transportation; the district has printed roughly 7,000 bus-pass IDs (a combination of batch-printed IDs from previous registrations plus about 1,500 produced in-transportation since the start of the school year).

The presenter described an in-bus tablet that drivers use to scan students on and off. The tablet displays green when a student is expected at that stop and red when a student is not assigned to that bus, providing an immediate cue to drivers. Staff also said the tablet includes tools for drivers to report maintenance issues and to record vehicle trouble reports that create work orders for the shop.

Staff reported current metrics: 14,042 students districtwide; 4,363 registered for bus service in the system; 3,668 daily bus riders (morning count reported on the day of the workshop); and 3,343 parents actively using the StopFinder app. Staff noted roughly 124 students were being transported who were not registered in the system and said transportation staff have contacted families to resolve registration gaps.

The presenter explained that geofence alerts trigger when a bus enters a parent-defined geofence (for example, a neighborhood entrance), but that automatic \"late\" notifications are not produced by the app — instead, staff manually send district-wide late notices when buses run substantially behind schedule.

Board members asked about funding. Staff said the StopFinder rollout began as a pilot funded from the transportation general fund last year and was fully funded in the current transportation budget; it is not part of a restricted safety grant.

Transportation staff said they will continue training campus staff and drivers on correct badge use and will push registration and app adoption to improve parent communications and ridership data.","Transportation staff described the district’s implementation of Transfinder’s StopFinder real-time tracking app, student bus-pass ID badges and tablet-based driver tools, and gave current registration and ridership counts.",{"_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},6468459,"College Station ISD gives status update on 2023 bond construction: cranes, steel erection, roofs and CTE work under way",2674,30000,2704000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782153-9081a0de30b3fd6cc3f782a75c848d54&start=30&end=2704","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782153-9081a0de30b3fd6cc3f782a75c848d54/thumbnail_30000.jpg","/articles/6468459/Texas/College-Station-ISD-gives-status-update-on-2023-bond-construction-cranes-steel-erection-roofs-and-CTE-work-under-way","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468459-851a4d7b06c10c99cb9c90b990689e4b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770497745&Signature=Ontmw9u2~HD-qy6NcEUOhbI7qQuDr2yQrNGFTqyVx~tXQweM5dI~g3g4VRcr~nqc9oOcu-aVt~9I0Ch9~cp4N5WliFObvdEodKkxvo4GjTdEQGTvmAqA7YY~BjNQhW3uPG10T8v-~LwPEuGR~X~OfWvZCzb8vawxmhE1TSxe2ze7LC3AlFuSsnjHTimT4E~fvphr1XjIvLIXoJTdvS0Si-MvNXub9RzMDo9ProVMuar~w7sgGne7eGZY0iNwWvrBXbIFPx6vK25jNKX~klm7oKVcaMgwSq4BwVjnHBPHoBaXjk-k91BdizDXzCcpqhjfPf4GNbzFzNvNjK5Fo4kKiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","College Station ISD staff briefed the board on the status of multiple bond-funded construction projects at a Sept. 16 workshop, reporting finished middle school athletic improvements, active high-school additions and ongoing elementary and district office repairs.

The presenter said the district completed the middle school athletic improvements that began last October, and that athletic events and sub-varsity games have already used the new fields and tracks. He described new turf at all three middle schools, redone track surfaces, LED lighting, expanded restroom and concession facilities at several campuses, and increased bleacher capacity.

At a consolidated campus the presenter said crews were \"going vertical with steel\" and a large crane was on site with the last delivery of steel expected the week of the meeting. For College Mesa High School — a project the presenter said started late last spring — staff reported an original estimated completion of December 2026 but said they were pushing hard to finish by August 2026 to allow summer move-in and removal of six portable classrooms.

Rock Prairie Elementary work included stage curtain replacement, hallway flooring replacement and an office addition; staff said the car-rider line was reconfigured and that hydroseeded areas were being protected while they established. The presenter requested, on the record, a later start-of-school date after Labor Day to provide more uninterrupted summer construction time; he noted that request was made to the superintendent.

CTE phase 2 crews began in late May, drilling 223 auger-cast piles some as large as 36 inches in diameter. Staff said piers averaged 15–20 per day and reached 85 in one week. The project will house Ag Mechanics, Animal Science, Auto Tech, cosmetology, vet tech and welding labs.

Baseball and softball projects were in final grading and stone phases; turf installation at several fields was imminent. Stadium improvements and a field house expansion were underway; some press-box and permanent access work was deferred until after football season because of crane and bleacher access constraints.

District office and campus roof projects were described as ongoing. Staff reported recent mechanical repairs at Spring Creek had reduced leaks and noted a number of hail-damage roof repairs under review; College Hills was identified as needing a complete roof replacement. Staff said the district was coordinating with insurance adjusters and engineers and planned to begin major roof projects over the next summer when they would be less disruptive to students.

The presenter described contracting and cost controls: larger, competitively bid packages and \"guaranteed maximum price\" (GMP) contract arrangements, which lock price and substantial completion dates to limit inflationary exposure. He said when GMPs are in place, adding extra crews to accelerate schedule does not increase district costs unless there is a change order.

Finally, the presenter said the district had pursued anti-scalable black vinyl-coated fencing across campuses to meet state safety expectations and to improve aesthetics, and that remaining campuses would receive fencing soon.

Board members asked questions about scheduling, bid competitiveness and budget stewardship; staff said increased competition at bid openings and faster project pacing had helped stretch bond funds and would allow the district to return to items left off earlier bond packages.","District staff reported progress across multiple 2021–2024 bond projects, including completed middle school athletic work, vertical steel at a consolidated campus, College Mesa High School additions, Rock Prairie upgrades, CTE phase 2 pier work, and upcoming hailstorm roof repairs.",{"_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},6468465,"College Station ISD officials say newly upgraded middle school athletic facilities are being damaged; district weighing restricted public access",1156,215000,1371000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782153-9081a0de30b3fd6cc3f782a75c848d54&start=215&end=1371","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782153-9081a0de30b3fd6cc3f782a75c848d54/thumbnail_215000.jpg","/articles/6468465/Texas/College-Station-ISD-officials-say-newly-upgraded-middle-school-athletic-facilities-are-being-damaged-district-weighing-restricted-public-access","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468465-a7520fd1140aa20d9f6a976f41174473/orig.mp4?Expires=1770497745&Signature=jjS6JNkqMncPi2pvmTOJvgcjibaxt52g9BJzCiBkXOVyiHbPczy1RGONfySND9NzKyHU8fKYShipIb9fdnDaJYl~MdqO3PQjQsJezb86H5bJ7fT-h~w9h8n0hO8rY2lheMSAyyJZIqOq7ANUaE7m9Q-MHcvUI1uab47-q7RdZ4poityq4mqUPz0tum5Tn0fbBnBQC9PSGOQ~YSXr2uVONgWvILs7prmCwbPguLg5CUWAV5PqWHbH9YJkLnImAYyuAmltWFpEu2Ol1SYN4kXbj03B9fYGnzpqEGS9fT-BC93VwOU2KQCLRBBCpPM7LYZZhy~Ngz13pq7eLH8RpC9pAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","College Station ISD officials told the school board at a Sept. 16 workshop that vandalism and unauthorized use have damaged newly completed middle school athletic facilities and that staff are considering restricting public access.

District facilities staff said the district opened three upgraded middle school stadiums and tracks two weeks ago but have since received repeated reports and photos of damage, including skid marks from dirt bikes, bent gates, damaged track surfacing and golf balls found on turf. \"The centrifugal force that that dirt bike generates going around on the track... it rips the track surface up or it cracks the track surface,\" a district facilities presenter told the board.

The presenter said the district has already spent \"6 to $8,000 in, 2 weeks of it being open\" on repairs, and described incidents of people bending fencing, opening locked gates and letting dogs onto turf. The presenter added that coaches had called early in the morning to report fresh damage and that some repairs require cutting out and replacing chunks of track surface — work the district said is neither simple nor cheap.

Board members and staff discussed enforcement tools. Staff said the district is installing additional cameras on concession-stand roofs and deploying periwether lightning detection; they also noted existing cameras provide distance views that often do not clearly identify individuals. The presenter said some incidents recorded on older cameras still left subjects unidentifiable because of helmets, masks or distance.

Board members proposed operational and engineering options: locking gates at a set time each evening (a curfew already aligned with the city’s park curfew was mentioned), installing small pedestrian-only turnstile gates or other barriers that would block dirt bikes while allowing walkers, requiring out-of-district teams to rent facilities, and posting stronger signage that continued misuse could result in closure. One board member urged that non-district schools not have free access \"without paying for them.\" A district staff member said the decision to close or lock facilities \"technically does not require board approval,\" but staff planned to bring the issue back at the next meeting after collecting more data.

Legal and liability questions were raised. A staff speaker said if the facility is open to the public the police have limited authority to act and the district’s governmental immunity likely reduces liability exposure, but acknowledged there is some potential exposure if a third party sued and alleged negligence.

Staff stated they have worked with College Station Police Department at other sites where repeat break-ins occurred and said cameras help deter some but not all offenders. The presenter said the district had alerted parents and expected public notice would help with “self-policing,” but staff recommended further operational changes if damage continues.

The board asked staff to return to the next meeting with additional data and options for restricting access and enforcement. Staff said they will continue adding cameras and signage, evaluate turnstile or gate options for pedestrian access, and report back with cost and operational recommendations.

The discussion was part of a broader construction update that also covered bond projects across the district.","College Station ISD officials reported repeated damage to new middle school tracks and turf — from dirt bikes, golf balls and dogs — two weeks after opening, and discussed tightening access, adding cameras and possible evening lockups.","actionData","errors"]
