Board accepts 2024–25 TISA accountability report showing modest gains in early grades
Summary
The board approved the district’s 2024–25 TISA accountability report, which officials said funded teacher pay increases, academic coaches, tutoring and assistant principals. Presenters reported small gains in third-grade ELA and stronger results in algebra compared with district goals.
The Henderson County Board of Education voted to approve the 2024–25 TISA accountability report, confirming how outcomes-based state funds were used and reporting student-performance results.
Miss Creighton told the board the district used TISA funds to “improve teacher salaries, to hire additional academic coaches, tutoring, and assistant principals to target third grade, ELA.” She reported third-grade ELA scores rose slightly (she cited improvement “from, I think it was 35.4 to 35.9” and “34.5 to 34.9 in our third grade ELA”). On algebra, she said the district had exceeded an earlier goal of 39 percent proficiency and estimated current algebra proficiency “I think it’s 42. It may be 43.”
The board asked about future targets. A board member asked whether the algebra goal for 2028 would be 55 percent; Miss Creighton replied the district had set a longer-term goal of 70 percent proficiency by 2030 and said current algebra results were above the previous 39 percent goal.
The board approved the report and directed staff to upload required documentation to the state as part of TISA accountability procedures. The meeting record did not include a detailed line-by-line funding breakdown in the discussion; Miss Creighton referred to a multi-page document that trustees had been provided.
