Humble ISD presents turnaround plan for Jack M. Fields Elementary; TEA/Region 4 to monitor

Humble ISD staff presented a Turnaround Action Plan (TAP) for Jack M. Fields Elementary after the campus received consecutive unacceptable preliminary accountability ratings. The plan — aligned with guidance from the Texas Education Agency and Region 4 — emphasizes an intensive curriculum and instruction strategy, leadership and teacher capacity building, data‑driven monitoring, and targeted academic supports.

Eric Paul and district teaching‑and‑learning staff described specific elements: adoption and implementation of Bluebonnet mathematics for K–5, transition to Wonders for literacy at Jack Fields to provide TEKS‑aligned materials with short planning cycles, additional academic‑support teacher FTEs focused on reading and math, and frequent, job‑embedded coaching for the principal and instructional staff. The district identified a Region‑4 case manager who will provide monthly diagnostic visits and executive summaries to guide progress. The administration said early fall checkpoints already show some improvement.

Board members asked for periodic progress reports, including midyear benchmarks and mock assessments; district staff agreed to return with data in January when fall checkpoints and NWEA MAP results are available. The board was told the plan will be submitted to TEA as required and will be implemented across the 2026–27 and 2027–28 school years with ongoing monitoring.
