Plainview ISD principals present campus improvement plans; board approves campus and district plans

Principals from Plainview ISD's campuses presented campus improvement plans covering academic targets, attendance strategies, safety and family engagement; the Board of Trustees approved the campus plans and the district improvement plan at a special meeting.

Presentations covered each campus's priorities and planned strategies:

- Junior High (Kevin Parker): Targeted STAAR growth across tested subjects (reading, math, science, social studies) with a 3% increase target at the meets level; emphasis on PLC time, weekly lesson-plan reviews, data digs and improved attendance (goal from 93% to 95%). Teachers will hold incentive-based interventions ("fun Friday") tied to attendance and discipline.

- North Elementary and other elementary campuses (principals): Focus on reading and math gains, interventions during built-in instruction time, PLCs every Wednesday including specials and special-education staff, and targeted professional development. North Elementary noted expanded intervention blocks and a goal of raising math meets to 40%.

- Early Learning Center: Targets for early literacy and numeracy included midyear goals that at least 80% of first-graders will grow three DRA levels, 80% of kindergarteners will grow four DRA levels by year'end, and 65% of pre-K students will reach grade-level ELAR by year'end. The campus described two daily recesses (15- and 20-minute blocks), expanded outdoor learning and increased supervision for roughly 696 students aged 6 and under on that campus.

- Flaming Intermediate: Implemented a revised master schedule that increases daily reading and math time to 88 minutes (about 90 additional instructional hours annually compared with last year) to allow more small-group instruction and use of district'provided LLI kits.

- ASH alternative campus: Focused on credit recovery, online curriculum (Edgenuity, Apex), night school expansion (now 15 and waiting list), attendance improvement (current reported rates above 93% in each grade) and targeted behavior supports, including "purposeful talk" and counseling initiatives.

- Plainview Collegiate: Described targets to increase EOC meets/masters, TSI and ACT results, and closer collaboration with the high school for dual credit and CCMR metrics; reported enrollment of 291 students and routine counselor outreach for attendance.

- Plainview High School: Set goals to raise EOC retester performance (director noted December 2023 retesters were 38% approaches or higher and December 2024 fell to 21%); PHS is restoring targeted remediation sections (English 1/2 and Algebra 1) and revising final-exam exemption criteria (semester average threshold raised from 80 to 90 with attendance/discipline criteria) to align with college-readiness expectations.

District leaders presented the district improvement plan (DIP) tying campus strategies to federal and state requirements (Title I, Title III, special education, MTSS). The board approved the campus improvement plans and the district improvement plan by unanimous vote, 6'0'00.

Administrators emphasized that the SIPs (campus improvement plans) are living documents that will be updated as diagnostics and grant data (e.g., Stronger Connections) arrive; principals and district staff encouraged board members to visit PLCs and classroom instruction to observe implementation.

Selected quantitative details referenced during presentations were recorded in the district packet and in campus remarks; where precise contract or funding figures were not read aloud they remain in the supporting materials.
