South San Antonio ISD adopts House Bill 3 early-childhood math goal to raise 3rd-grade 'meets' rate to 50% by 2029
Summary
District staff presented and the board approved a Lone Star Governance student outcome goal tied to House Bill 3: raise the percentage of 3rd-graders scoring at 'meets' or higher on STAR Math from a 20% August 2024 baseline to 50% by August 2029, with progress monitored using Circle, TexKia, MAP and STAR screeners.
Miss Marcha presented the Lone Star Governance student outcome goal report and read the House Bill 3 early-childhood math goal to trustees: “The percentage of South San Antonio Independent School District 3rd grade students performing at the meets level or higher on STAR Math will increase from August 2024 percentage of 20% to 50% by the end of August 2029.”
She explained the assessment tools the division uses to monitor progress: Circle early progress monitors for pre-K, TexKia for kindergarten, and MAP and STAR for other grade levels. Marcha provided baseline and screener results for the start of the school year: roughly 75% of pre-kindergarten students on track per Circle; kindergarten 25% on track; first grade 22% on track; second grade 14% on track; and third grade 18% on track on their respective screener measures.
Marcha credited Rebecca Herrera, director of early childhood, and her team for the early-childhood efforts. The board moved and voted to approve the Lone Star Governance student outcome goal report as presented.
The plan establishes a five-year target and commits the district to quarterly progress monitoring under the Lone Star Governance framework; staff said the report will continue to be tracked and reported in subsequent meetings.
