Principal: Veribest elementary STAAR benchmarks show improvement; debate team advances to state
Summary
Principal Amber Palmer reported midyear STAAR benchmark gains—particularly in math—said district testing experienced statewide login issues during field testing, and highlighted CX Debate advancing to state and the District UIL meet on March 26.
Principal Amber Palmer presented STAAR benchmark and mid‑year testing results and told trustees that elementary benchmark data and Math results are showing "significant improvement at this time." She also reported district classroom walk‑throughs conducted with the Region 15 School Improvement team and implementation work on the Bluebonnet curriculum.
Palmer noted state‑level login issues affected STAAR field testing but that the district completed testing. She highlighted extracurricular academic successes: both CX Debate teams earned a spot at the state competition over spring break and the district will host the District UIL meet on March 26. Elementary benchmark scores and the mid‑year assessment data were provided in the principal's packet; she described math gains as a positive trend.
District staff said the Region 15 support and the LASO/LIFT grant resources contribute to curriculum support and professional learning for teachers.
