Dr. Kimberly Martin presented the district's 2024-25 annual/TAPR report to trustees, noting a "B" accountability rating, accredited status, a superior financial rating, areas of strength across subpopulations, delayed timing of certain metrics and work to improve CCMR and TSIA outcomes.
Trustees received the district's statutory annual report (TAPR) during a public hearing on Jan. 12, with staff outlining academic performance, participation, and accountability measures for the 2024-25 cycle.
"For our 2025 accountability rating, you all know we earned a B," Dr. Kimberly Martin, executive director for accountability and academic support, told the board as she reviewed the TAPR material. She also said the district's special education determination status is "a district in need of assistance," while the district maintained a superior financial rating and accreditation.
Martin walked the board through key sections of the report, including performance pages (noting Galena Park ISD is performing at or above the state in many areas and highlighted progress among African American, Hispanic, emergent bilingual and economically disadvantaged groups), bilingual education statistics, participation rates (noting the state's move from single-day to two-week testing windows), attendance and graduation/dropout figures (noting reported data pertain to the class of 2024), and CCMR (college, career and military readiness) results.
She said some measures are delayed due to reporting cycles: for example, the report uses the class of 2024 for attendance and graduation figures. Martin drew attention to the district's CCMR results (76% CCMR ready for the class of 2024 versus an 82% state level) and said the district continues efforts to improve TSIA criteria and other postsecondary readiness indicators.
The presentation included links to TEA online reports, the PEIMS financial standards report, and campus-level TAPR pages. Martin encouraged trustees and the public to consult the linked materials for deeper detail and answered questions from the board before the hearing was adjourned.
Next steps: the TAPR and supporting TEA links are part of the district's public hearing record; the board will continue to monitor progress on CCMR and other performance objectives through the KPI dashboard and board goals.
