Trustees hear 2024 assessment results; administration flags scoring concerns
Summary
Canutillo ISD staff presented 2024 assessment results and described remediation steps; district leaders and trustees questioned drops in some scores and raised concerns about the validity of a new scoring system amid alternate STAAR testing, COVID impacts, and HB1416.
Mrs. Jessica Harrison presented the district—s 2024 assessment results to the Canutillo ISD Board of Trustees and answered trustee questions about specific drops in performance. Trustees asked for more detail on which campuses and subjects showed the largest declines and how the district plans to target interventions.
Dr. Kerney said multiple strategies are in place, including targeted professional development, and cautioned about interpreting year-to-year changes. "The validity of the new scoring system is questionable," Dr. Kerney said, citing alternate STAAR tests, lingering effects from COVID disruptions, and HB1416 as complicating factors. Trustee Simental noted some schools show consistently low scores and asked for concrete plans; Trustee Lucy Borrego requested a packet with a breakdown of the drops to be provided on Thursday. The board did not take formal action; trustees requested additional data and follow-up.
