Liberty Hill ISD trustees seek clearer, measurable goals for board and superintendent
Loading...
Summary
Trustees asked the superintendent to refine board and superintendent goals to be measurable and aligned with the district improvement plan, suggesting items such as board operating procedures, testing metrics, construction plans and CTE expansion as concrete metrics.
Interim Superintendent Travis Motel presented existing board and superintendent goal language and asked trustees for input on aligning goals and making them measurable. Trustees across the board urged fewer, clearer and more quantifiable goals.
Trustee Mister Carter suggested limiting the board to three to five measurable goals and offered a set of candidate goals, including establishing a five- and 10-year construction/land plan, defining measurable testing metrics and expanding CTE (career and technical education). "You can measure testing metrics versus prior year, versus local, versus regional, versus state," Carter said.
Trustees also recommended revisiting board operating procedures, clarifying what success looks like for student outcomes and pairing high-level goals with specific indicators (for example, PSAT or CCMR measures). Several trustees recommended that superintendent goals align under the board’s agreed priorities to enable transparent measurement of progress.
Motel said he will draft initial measurable goals based on trustee feedback and bring a recommended version back to the board for refinement.
Next steps: Motel will deliver a draft of measurable goals to trustees for review and refinement; trustees suggested scheduling a regular review cadence (monthly or annually) tied to reporting metrics.
