AISD presenters report midyear math gains; board accepts goal-progress update
Summary
District presenters told trustees the number of second-graders flagged for math intervention fell from 31% to 22% midyear and that the district remains on track for its third-grade STAR math target; trustees accepted the report unanimously.
Austin ISD officials reported midyear data showing progress toward the district's third-grade STAR mathematics target and a reduction in second-grade students flagged for intervention.
"Data for beginning of year shows that 31 percent of second grade students scored in the recommended-for-intervention level on the fall 2025 MAP mathematics assessment, and data shows for middle of year that 22 percent of second grade students scored at this level," the administration reported, emphasizing downward movement in intervention flags that staff view as positive. (presentation by district math team.)
Presenters described steps taken to accelerate learning: executive directors and principals reviewed MTSS documentation, campuses implemented targeted accelerated-learning blocks within the math instructional day, teachers received focused professional learning and pre-made materials, and leadership-level "learning labs" supported coaching and principal development.
Trustees asked whether student-population shifts could explain some changes; staff said population changes were small in most groups and that adjustments to reporting were included in the appendix. After brief discussion Secretary Foster moved to accept the report, Vice President Gonzales seconded, and the motion passed "by all on the dais" (exact tally not specified).
Next steps: administration committed to continuing MTSS monitoring, targeted coaching, PLC rollouts, and providing additional campus-level detail in board materials.
