Superintendent Dr. Grama told the board the district’s APR rose to 80.5% and highlighted data work; overall K–12 enrollment decreased by about 161 students with kindergarten down ~58 and homeschooling transfers up by ~35.
Superintendent Dr. Grama reported that the district’s Annual Performance Report (APR) reached 80.5% this year, an increase from 80% the prior year and the district’s third consecutive year of growth under the state’s current accountability model.
“The Independent School District was, achieved 80.5% on its APR this year,” Dr. Grama said, adding that the result reflects the work of staff, students and families but is not a finish line. He said buildings used a recent professional development day to dig into building-level APR data and identify strengths and priorities for improvement, and the district plans a district-level APR presentation to the board in December.
On enrollment, Dr. Grama said the district’s K–12 total is 13,376 students, down about 161 students from last year. He noted kindergarten enrollment decreased by about 58 students and that approximately 35 more students transferred to homeschooling compared with the prior year. English-learner (EL) numbers were reported as up, while newcomer and new-to-country numbers were slightly down.
The superintendent said MSIP 6 culture and climate survey results are expected in December, with the goal of sharing results with the board and community by January or February depending on timeline.
What happens next: district staff will present APR details at the December board meeting and continue to monitor enrollment trends and demographic shifts.
