Rockport‑Fulton board briefed on targeted improvement plan after consecutive 'D' ratings for Fulton

District presenters told trustees the targeted improvement plan for Fulton — and linked work at feeder campus Live Oak — responds to consecutive accountability ratings and will require board approval.

"This is connected to those consecutive D's that we received at Fulton," Presenter (S13) said, explaining the district used an Effective Schools Framework diagnostic and family/stakeholder feedback to shape the plan. The plan's four priorities include intensive curriculum and instructional improvements, observation and feedback coaching, teacher supports and data routines tied to campus progress measures.

Presenter (S13) described several specific supports and programs tied to the plan: a 30‑minute flexible learning block (SALT) added to the school day for targeted support; rollout of the campus 'Pirate Path' lessons by SALT staff; professional development tied to Design to Support beginning Jan. 7; partnerships with service centers and external providers for math and literacy frameworks; and grant applications the district is awaiting. Presenter (S13) said the plan supplements each campus improvement plan and will be implemented this year and next after the board approves it.

Presenter (S13) also said the district engaged the service center and E3 Alliance on math framework work, aligned TEKS and local assessments (STAR and MAP), and will provide an academic data update to the board in January when action data reviews close out.

What’s next: the board was told it will be asked later in the meeting to approve the targeted improvement plan so the district can implement supports tied to federal designation requirements.
