Trustees approve revised K–2 grading guidelines and AMERA parent reports
Summary
Dr. Richland presented revised 2025–26 grading guidelines aligning K–2 standards-based report cards with a monthly AMERA parent report; the board approved the guidelines as part of the meeting's action items.
The board approved updated grading guidelines for 2025–26 that include a 'mirror' to align standards‑based report cards with a monthly, parent‑friendly AMERA report. Dr. Richland described changes to kindergarten through second‑grade report cards to better reflect decoding, phonological awareness, high‑frequency words, comprehension and fluency measures.
Staff said AMERA is TEA‑approved for accelerated instruction and that the district is piloting integrations with TEA and AMERA to allow report data to help inform teacher evaluation systems and fluency measures such as words per minute. Board members expressed support and noted ongoing teacher feedback would be incorporated before final report card rollout.
