District unveils DIP priorities and HB3 goals for literacy, numeracy and CCMR
Summary
District leaders presented the District Improvement Plan priorities for 2025–26 and recommended HB3 five‑year goals: raise 3rd‑grade STAR reading from 36% to 55% by 2030, expand early‑literacy supports, reduce retesters by 30% and increase CCMR outcomes through dual credit and testing strategies.
Dr. June Richland and district instructional leaders presented the 2025–26 District Improvement Plan priorities and recommended HB3 performance goals focused on early literacy, numeracy and college/career/military readiness (CCMR).
The district set a five‑year target to raise the share of 3rd‑grade students scoring "meets" on STAR reading from 36% to 55% by June 2030, with an annual target to reach 40% this school year. Presenters said the plan will use vertical alignment, PLCs, released STAAR items in formative assessments, protections for social‑studies time and explicit coaching for teachers to support implementation.
On numeracy, staff reported current baselines and short‑term milestones (for example, a 2025 baseline of 27% meeting or mastering 3rd‑grade STAAR math and a 2026 interim target of 34%). For CCMR, administrators recommended maintaining a high overall CCMR completion goal while raising the percentage of graduates meeting college‑ready benchmarks on SAT/ACT/TSI from about 12.5% to 20% by 2026 and expanding dual‑credit participation from 21% to 25% by 2026.
District leaders emphasized data walks, coaching cycles, use of AI in calibration and three‑blind scoring for constructed responses to improve reliability. They also set a district target to reduce retesters by 30% and to decrease the incidence of zeros on constructed responses by 10%.
What happens next: the DIP and recommended HB3 goals will be placed on the superintendent scorecard for nine‑week monitoring and reported back to the board during the school year.
