Plano ISD presents draft improvement-plan goals: growth, CCMR, attendance and staffing targets
Summary
District leaders outlined draft 2025–26 goals aligned to five strategic pillars, including targets such as 70% growth quintile benchmarks, a 91% CCMR target for graduates, 96% attendance and a 98% graduation goal; staff said these draft goals will go to DBIC and return to the board for approval.
Lisa Wilson, deputy superintendent for teaching and learning, presented the first part of the district improvement plan and walked trustees through metrics and targets that tie to the board’s strategic pillars and AE (local) policy. Wilson described the data-driven process and said the district set baselines and SMART targets for growth and achievement. “We start with a comprehensive needs analysis,” Wilson said as she outlined how metrics connect from district to campus planning.
For growth and achievement, staff proposed targets that include a 70% threshold for grade-level growth quintiles (or a +2% improvement where a grade level already exceeds that baseline) and a 75% baseline for students meeting the top three quintiles for on-grade-level achievement. The presentation also included Spanish literacy targets for bilingual programs.
On college, career and military readiness (CCMR), staff set a target of 91% of graduates meeting at least one CCMR indicator (TSI, dual-credit, industry certifications, etc.). District leaders asked trustees to note distinctions (for example, passing an AP exam — not merely taking the course — counts toward certain CCMR measures).
Staff also described draft goals for staffing and strategic allocation (pillar 5), including a plan to refine funding codes in Skyward and implement strategic staffing processes by December 2025. Targets on school climate and disproportionality were discussed under pillar 4 (discipline disproportionality ratio target of 2.4 or below). Presenters emphasized that these remain draft goals to be reviewed by the District-Based Improvement Committee (DBIC) and returned to the board for formal approval.
Next steps: DBIC review and a board work session/return presentation in October; staff requested trustee feedback during the interim.
