Board approves Comal ISD district and campus improvement plans for 2025–26

Trustees on Thursday approved Comal ISD’s 2025–26 District Improvement Plan (DIP) and individual campus improvement plans (CIPs), citing the statutory requirement that districts develop and annually review plans to improve student performance.

Julie Cronkite presented the materials and said the DIP and CIPs were developed collaboratively with principals, district staff and the District Educational Improvement Council (DEIC). Cronkite stated the plans include needs assessments, problem statements, strategic priorities and performance objectives aligned to state goals and to the district’s collaborative vision.

Administration described the monitoring cadence: DEIC and site-based decision-making committees will conduct formative reviews in October, January and March, with summative reviews in May. Staff also said real-time assessment data and common unit assessments will be used to inform revisions and that district staff will continue to provide feedback through DILT and other leadership teams.

The board voted 7–0 to approve the DIP and all campus improvement plans and thanked administrators for the work to align priorities across campuses.
