Sharyland ISD board accepts A (superior) financial rating for 2024–25
Summary
Administration presented the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) results using 2023–24 audited data and reported a district score of 94; the board accepted the report by unanimous vote (6–0).
At a public hearing, district staff reviewed the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) indicators based on 2023–24 audited financial data and announced the district’s cumulative score of 94 out of 100 — a rating that qualifies as an A (superior) achievement for the 2024–25 year.
The presenter read each required indicator and disclosed the superintendent’s contract and the first annual financial management report as required by policy. After the hearing, a board member moved to accept the report “as read,” a motion was seconded and the board approved the acceptance unanimously (6–0).
Board discussion was brief and congratulatory; the presenter described the rating process, explained that indicator scores reflect items such as a clean audit opinion, timely payments to state and federal agencies, sufficient days of cash on hand and other solvency measures, and confirmed the district met the thresholds for a superior rating.
The board did not receive public comment on the FIRST presentation during the hearing. The acceptance of the FIRST report completes the public disclosure and adoption steps required by statute for the district’s annual financial transparency responsibilities.
