District outlines HB 3 goals: expand CCMR access and strengthen early literacy and math
Summary
Bastrop ISD presenters said district plans under HB 3 include expanding SAT/ACT/TSIA access, dual-credit partnerships with Austin Community College, and Pre-K--3 literacy and math frameworks aligned to Texas Reading Academies and diagnostic screeners.
Dr. Amanda Brantley and Jennifer Eberly briefed the board on the district's work toward HB 3 goals, focusing on College, Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) and early literacy and math strategies. They described efforts to increase access to college-readiness testing (SAT, ACT, TSIA), expand dual-credit and career-academy partnerships with Austin Community College, and provide supports for college applications and FAFSA completion.
On literacy and math, the presenters described a district-wide framework for Pre-K through 3rd grade, staff training in research-based strategies and use of diagnostic screeners to monitor growth. They emphasized Texas Reading Academies strategies and targeted professional development tied to instructional materials, framing these steps as part of a systematic, data-driven approach to improve foundational skills.
