Pearland ISD board adopts five-year strategic plan and balanced scorecard
Summary
The Pearland Independent School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved long-term strategic objectives and a balanced scorecard intended to measure district progress across students, staff, community and finance for 2025–2029.
The Pearland Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 5-0 on Aug. 12 to approve the district's five-year strategic plan and balanced scorecard, a framework officials said will align district work and feed the superintendent's evaluation. The motion passed with trustees Johnson, Stuckey, Carbone, Weimer and Murphy present and trustees Carter and Scheffler absent.
District Superintendent Dr. Berger told the board the scorecard ties goals in four priority areas ' students, staff, community and finance ' to measurable long-term outcomes and progress measures, and that the results will appear in a public dashboard with nine-week and semester reports. "We are working to build a Pearland ISD balanced scorecard for 2025 to 2029," Dr. Berger said.
Board members spent months developing the plan in workshops, Dr. Berger said, and the version voted on Aug. 12 incorporates changes requested by trustees to combine subjective survey measures with objective indexes for metrics such as well-being, safety and staff recruitment. The package approved includes the long-term goals, a progress-measure schedule and a summary sheet that will feed into the superintendent's January evaluation.
Trustee Murphy moved to approve the plan; Trustee Daniel Stuckey seconded the motion. No further amendments were offered during the public meeting. The board clerk recorded the vote as 5-0; the agenda noted that trustees Carter and Scheffler were absent.
Board members and administrators said the scorecard is meant to align district improvement plans, campus plans and department metrics so the district can track, report and adjust throughout the school year. Dr. Berger said site- and district-level progress measures will be made public on the district website once the dashboard is finalized.
The board's formal adoption ends a planning phase that included prior drafts presented at the July 16 meeting and a set of edits submitted Aug. 1. Officials said further routine reporting against the scorecard will be a regular part of future board meetings.
