Arlington ISD outlines plan to halve D/F campuses by August 2026
Summary
Chief Schools Officer Dr. Bret Champion told trustees the district aims to reduce the number of campuses rated D or F by 50% by August 2026, citing more than 3,000 instructional walkthroughs and a focus on curriculum use, pacing, and 'productive struggle.'
At the March 12 board meeting, Chief Schools Officer Dr. Bret Champion reported on campuses identified as highest need and described a district strategy to reduce the number of D- or F-rated campuses by roughly half by August 2026. Dr. Champion said the district has launched 'big three instructional walks' to monitor classroom practice and has completed more than 3,000 walkthroughs since January to check curriculum use, pacing within five days of scope and sequence, and student engagement through productive struggle.
Dr. Champion told trustees early results show improved curriculum use and pacing alignment when compared to earlier TEA observations, while student productive struggle remains an area for growth. Trustees received the report as an informational update; no formal vote accompanied the presentation.
