Alief ISD presents 2024-25 annual performance report; no public commenters

Alief ISD officials presented the district's 2024-25 annual performance report and the Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) during the board meeting on Feb. 17, reaffirming that the documents are posted on the district website and available for public review.

Deputy Superintendent Charlie Garcia told the board the report fulfills state reporting requirements and that the district is holding the statutorily required public hearing. "This report provides a comprehensive look at district and campus performance including student outcomes, program data and key accountability indicators required under the state law," Garcia said. Rayyan Amin, chief of school improvement and accountability, noted the TAPR and annual report are posted online and said the annual performance report exceeds 1,400 pages.

Amin detailed materials included in the TAPR and annual report: campus and district STAR performance, academic progress, bilingual/ESL participation, attendance, graduation, college-and-career readiness (CCMR), and demographic breakdowns. She said the standardized TAPR makes statewide and campus-to-campus comparisons possible and that the district uses the report to inform interventions and improvement strategies.

President Rowe opened the public hearing at 9:12 p.m. and, noting no public members requested to speak, closed the hearing one minute later. No votes were taken on the annual report itself during the hearing portion. The district will continue to use the posted materials as a basis for planning and to report benchmark updates to the board in upcoming meetings.
