Manor ISD outlines plan to reach 90% college, career and military readiness by 2028
Summary
District leaders presented a 90% CCMR target for the class of 2028 and described focused efforts on TSI testing, college-prep courses, dual credit access and industry-based certifications to raise outcomes; trustees pressed for stronger counselor and outreach work to increase dual-credit participation.
Manor ISD academic leaders told trustees on Dec. 16 they are pursuing a district goal of 90% college, career and military readiness (CCMR) for the class of 2028 and described specific strategies to increase access and data accuracy.
The district's CCMR presentation identified eight indicators the state uses to count CCMR (including SAT/ACT, TSI, passing AP scores, industry-based certifications and dual credit completion). District staff said the internal focus areas for improvement in the near term are the TSI testing program, college-prep courses and dual-credit access and scheduling.
Academic staff said some indicators will be emphasized more than others to maximize results: staff want increased TSI testing participation, stronger scheduling for dual-credit opportunities, and more students taking college-prep courses to demonstrate readiness. In board discussion Trustees noted dual-credit participation was relatively low in current reporting and asked how the district will communicate pathways and options earlier (K–12 outreach, counselor training and parent-facing materials were proposed).
Trustees and staff discussed logistics: the district offers middle-school practice testing and has scheduled PSAT/TSI testing windows for middle- and high-school cohorts; staff said plans are in place to test in the spring and to ramp up messaging to families and counselors to expand access. The presentation said the dual-credit course indicator (three dual-credit classes or nine hours) was at about 22% in current measures while the district had set a 35% target for that indicator; staff said they are building k–12 pathway maps and outreach to raise participation.
Dr. Hart (academic lead) said the district is building a k–12 CCMR pathway and increasing counselor outreach; she and other academic leaders told trustees some program elements will roll out in spring and others will extend through the year. Trustees asked for printed materials and consistent counselor messaging; administration said counseling and academic departments will deliver those materials and will report progress to the board.
