Summary
Board heard a plan to develop Local Targeted Improvement Plans (TIP) and one Turnaround Plan (TAP), with campus public meetings already held, a public hearing set for Oct. 2, board action slated for Oct. 23, and the TEA submission deadline Nov. 14.
District leaders told trustees on Sept. 25 that Birdville ISD is completing required Targeted Improvement Plans (TIPs) and a single Turnaround Plan (TAP) for campuses identified under state rules, and outlined a timeline to meet Texas Education Agency (TEA) deadlines.
Dr. Clark said the district hosted public meetings at campus level and has an online comment process for public input. "Included in the timeline, leading up to this public hearing on 10/02/2025, we're also conducting, we have online, process for, the public to make comments to, the various principals and, campuses so that that information is also included and gives us an opportunity to fold that into any of the plans," Dr. Clark said. She said the district will present plans during a public hearing on Oct. 2 and then bring an information/action item to the Oct. 23 board meeting to position the board to submit plans to TEA by the Nov. 14 deadline.
The materials provided to trustees identify ten campuses required to develop plans — six required to develop TIPs due to receipt of targeted funding and others required to develop local improvement plans — and one campus required to develop a turnaround plan. Dr. Clark and Dr. Stinson said the district met with its TEA consultant and the TEA reviewer had reviewed draft plans and given a positive initial assessment.
District staff said they will provide the board with links to all plans in advance of the Oct. 2 public hearing so trustees have time to review. The district will also use a district support team coordinated by the superintendent to manage implementation and TEA communications. No formal board action was taken on the plans during the Sept. 25 meeting; the item was informational and established the schedule for hearings, review and submission.
