President Alicia Sebastian of the San Antonio ISD Board of Trustees said the board received an update on its goal to improve math outcomes for Black students. Sebastian said the district will focus on strengthening algebraic thinking in geometry and will make regular checks for mastery of priority mathematics standards throughout the school year.
Sebastian framed the approach as equity-focused, saying that improving outcomes for Black students benefits all students. The highlights did not include instructional materials, specific interventions, metrics for success, or timelines beyond the general statement about ongoing mastery checks.
In the same segment of the highlights, Sebastian said the board approved this year’s campus performance objectives; she said those objectives will be published on the district website. The board also approved the board’s policy governance manual, which Sebastian described as the framework for how trustees govern the district. The clip did not include vote tallies, the text of either document, or details on publication timing beyond the statement that objectives will be posted online.
The recording presented these items as approved actions and an update; staff and trustees are expected to provide further materials in formal meeting packets or on the district site.
