Summary

District leaders reviewed the 2025 federal report card and the Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR), said both are posted online, and trustees asked staff for a walk‑through after noticing percentages that appear inconsistent in the documents.

Interim Superintendent Gwen Gilliam briefed trustees on the 2025 federal report card and the TAPR, explaining the documents include graduation rates, academic growth, English‑language proficiency, college/career readiness and civil‑rights reporting. She told trustees the reports are posted on the district website under required postings so parents and potential employees can access the data.

Trustee Matt Eastwood questioned several percentages, saying the numbers "don't add up" and asked, "where is the .7th student?" Gilliam offered to sit down with trustees to walk through the calculations. Board members requested a follow‑up session to clarify the data and how state and region comparisons are derived.
