Bonham ISD presents annual report highlighting gains and challenges, flags special-education need
Summary
Bonham ISD leaders presented the district's annual performance report, noting progress in some assessments and a TEA 'needs assistance' designation for special education while outlining curriculum and staffing steps to improve outcomes.
Bonham ISD presented its required annual performance report during the board meeting, reviewing student achievement, staffing and college- and career-readiness plans. The presenter told trustees: "The statistics show that students who cannot read proficiently about 3rd grade are 4 times likely to drop out of high school," framing third-grade literacy as a district priority.
The report described district-wide results and next steps: the district serves just over 2,000 students across five campuses and employed nearly 310 personnel in 2024–25, and staff outlined efforts including new phonics protocols, coaching (Region 10/Regent 10), and a hired reading specialist to raise proficiency. Presenters also highlighted expanded CTE pathways and plans to begin an associate-degree pathway in 2026–27 to strengthen college- and career-readiness.
