West Rusk CISD maintains 98% First Rating; 2% markdown tied to fund balance
Summary
District business officer reported the district’s First Rating remained 98% after the final report; a 2% markdown was applied because the district fund balance was below Texas Education Agency expectations.
Mindee Mata, Director of Business Operations, told the board the district’s preliminary First Rating was 98% and that the final rating remained 98% after the state’s review. She attributed a 2% markdown on the score to the district fund balance being lower than the Texas Education Agency’s preferred level.
Mata said the district received “a very good rating” overall and noted many other districts also experienced percentage markdowns in the same area tied to fund-balance calculations. The presentation to the board was described in the minutes as a report; no action items or remedial measures tied to the fund balance were recorded in the minutes.
The First Rating is a fiscal accountability measure used in district reporting. The minutes do not specify next steps such as an updated budget, transfer, or corrective action; the board did not record a motion related to this item in the meeting minutes.
