Board approves TISA accountability report after presentation from district director
Summary
Dr. Cornelius presented the district’s TISA accountability report, noting a modest overall improvement and changes to state metrics (ReadyGrad replaced by CCR). The board voted to approve the report for submission to the state.
Dr. Cornelius, the district accountability lead, delivered the TISA accountability report and asked the board to approve the district’s submission to the state.
He said the district improved by about one percentage point overall from the prior year and explained a statewide shift in metrics: the state has replaced the ReadyGrad measure with the College‑Career Ready (CCR) metric, which in part recognizes a student who scores 31 or above on the ASVAB as meeting CCR. The board heard that the third‑grade goal for 2025‑26 is legislatively locked at 51.5 percent, creating a sizable increase in required performance from current levels.
Board members asked whether failing to meet future targets might carry state penalties or restructuring; Dr. Cornelius said there have been discussions at the state level but no district‑specific penalties were enumerated in the meeting. After questions, the board voted to approve the TISA accountability report for filing and state submission.
