Trustees approve consent agenda and adopt TEA CCMR and early literacy/math goals unanimously
Summary
The Waco ISD Board approved the consent agenda (with item 8g pulled for a future meeting) and unanimously adopted TEA-required CCMR and early-childhood literacy and mathematics goals after discussion and trustee questions.
WACO ' The Waco Independent School District Board of Trustees voted on several routine and required items Monday night, approving a consent agenda and adopting two required sets of Texas Education Agency goals.
Consent agenda: Administration pulled item 8g (award for Waco High School furniture) to return at a future meeting. The board voted to accept the remaining consent items as presented; the motion carried unanimously.
CCMR goals (required by House Bill 3): The board reviewed College, Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) targets and subpopulation breakdowns (presented as lag data tied to prior school years). Trustees asked questions about the targets and subgroup reporting; after discussion Trustee Patton moved to adopt the CCMR goals, Trustee Vidania seconded, and the board voted unanimously to adopt the TEA targets as the board's CCMR goals.
Early childhood literacy and mathematics goals: Administration presented required early-childhood literacy and mathematics goals (third-grade 'meets' targets and subgroup breakouts). Trustees questioned current percentages and asked for a deeper workshop review of curriculum, assessment and interventions. Trustee Patton moved to adopt the goals; Trustee Grant seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
What this means: These adoptions align the board with TEA's accountability targets; trustees requested follow-up presentations in a workshop setting to better understand progress measures, curriculum alignment and strategies for raising third-grade proficiency.
