Dr. Amber White reported to the board on Oct. 15 that high-school passing rates improved markedly: failures fell from 26 last year to five this nine weeks as a result of increased tutorials, late buses and active academic monitoring. She also said the district secured funding for an overnight college visit to Austin for up to 30 seniors who complete their college applications.
White described expanded extracurricular and career-preparation activities: the Halloween "Stroll and Treat" included more than 20 local vendors, the cross-country team advanced to regionals, and junior-high students are participating in STEM activities including Greenhand Camp and Workforce Solutions' career simulator. The transcript records these items as part of the High School and Junior High Report.
