District spells out HB 3 goals and intervention strategies for 2025–26
Summary
Administration presented HB 3 goals—third-grade reading and math and CCMR—outlined assessment adjustments, intervention resources (IXL, Bluebonnet math, Edgenuity) and progress-monitoring systems, and described accountability steps for parent meetings and intervention hours.
San Felipe-Del Rio CISD administrators detailed the district’s House Bill 3 goals Monday and the instructional and intervention strategies intended to meet them for the 2025–26 school year.
An administration presenter told the board HB 3 focuses on three priority areas: third-grade reading, third-grade math and career/college/military readiness (CCMR). The presenter said campuses must set five-year goals and that the district established a new 2025 baseline for targets through 2030.
The presentation reviewed assessment and intervention tools: universal screeners (TPRI, TEXAS K–?), TELPAS sequencing, Blue and White benchmark assessments, Renaissance MyON, Lexia, Summit K–12, Bluebonnet math adoption for K–5, Progress Learning and the new IXL adoption for reading and math. The presenter said Edgenuity, previously used for credit recovery, is being expanded to support PSAT/SAT/ACT and AP course readiness. The district also described ACE after-school intervention, dedicated in-school intervention time (power hour), 1-to-4 small-group instruction, and documentation of parent meetings and interventions to meet statutory hour requirements (House Bill references for required intervention hours were cited in the presentation).
Board members asked operational questions about IXL access and Bluebonnet implementation. The presenter said IXL can be accessed from home with student credentials and reported positive early feedback on Bluebonnet as teachers and students adapt. The briefing emphasized weekly to monthly fidelity checks using data walls and digital growth trackers to identify root causes and escalate supports when students regress.
The presentation was informational; board members did not take formal action on the HB 3 materials during the meeting.
