Summary
Trustees approved consent items renewing the DMAC data-management license, upgrading iCEV Career and Technical Education access to an enterprise license, and enrolling administrators in UT Austin data-driven-instruction training (with TEA reimbursement on completion).
As part of the consent agenda, the board approved a suite of instructional and data tools: renewal of the DMAC data-management and curriculum contract through Region 7 ESC; an enterprise iCEV license expanding CTE course access and certification opportunities; and UT Austin’s data-driven instruction training for administrators, which the district said would be reimbursed by TEA upon completion. Trustees praised the DMAC system’s usefulness for monitoring student data and thanked staff for maintaining access. The iCEV enterprise license will open all courses to students and expand certification opportunities (examples noted included welding and phlebotomy). District staff said administrators will begin UT modules in October; the district incurs initial costs but expects TEA to reimburse the program after successful completion. Each item was approved on the consent agenda. The board discussion emphasized the educational value of these tools and the need for staff to report on outcomes as tools are used in classrooms.
