Van ISD presents 2024-25 performance and assessment data to trustees
Summary
A district presenter summarized STAR, TSI and other performance measures, noting areas where the district is tied with or slightly below state averages for "meets" and where TSI results exceeded state percentages; the report also highlighted staff experience and required incident reporting.
A district presenter walked trustees through the packet of performance data, explaining where to find STAR and TSI metrics and the districts financial standards report. The presenter emphasized that "meets" and "meets and above" are the priority metrics for improvement and compared district percentages with state and regional benchmarks.
The presenter stated, "being in ISD had 79% of their students at approaches, whereas the state had 75," and later noted TSI results with district reading at 45.9% (state 20.1%) and TSI math at 32.4% (state 21.3%), explaining TSI is a separate, more rigorous assessment. The presenter also said roughly 30% of teachers are in their first five years, which informs mentoring and instructional coaching priorities.
Trustees were shown additional slides on growth, attendance (reported at 94.3% in one slide versus state 93.6%), graduation/postsecondary enrollment percentages, and a link to violent and criminal incident reports required under state rules. The presenter explained the district submitted the longer TIP materials to TEA and the board was reviewing a condensed version at the meeting.
