Brenham ISD approves targeted improvement plans for two campuses to address performance gaps
Summary
Chief Academic Officer Sarah Bohart presented targeted improvement plans for Brenham Middle School and Krause Elementary, emphasizing an intensive curriculum and instruction strategy, external partnerships and a TEA review timeline; the board approved the TIPs.
The Brenham ISD Board of Trustees voted to approve targeted campus improvement plans (TIPs) for Brenham Middle School and Krause Elementary after a presentation by Chief Academic Officer Sarah Bohart (S9).
Bohart described the TIP designation as used when a campus' performance (notably domain‑3 measures tied to subgroup gaps) requires focused intervention. The district will prioritize an intensive curriculum and instruction improvement strategy, employ job‑embedded professional development and quarterly data reviews, and work with partners including ESC 6, HMH and NIET. Bohart outlined a TEA review timeline: submit plans, receive any requested revisions (possible revision windows noted) and expect TEA approval by April; testing in April will also factor into accountability measures.
Principals and campus staff emphasized that improvements will require whole‑school efforts, capacity building and continued monitoring; trustees voted to approve the plans as presented.
