Lubbock ISD proposes community coalition to support struggling Dunbar Middle School
Summary
Trustees were briefed on a plan to form a Dunbar Community Coalition to address three years of failing accountability ratings and declining enrollment, with teacher reflective meetings, selected community representatives, and student voices to focus on mentoring, attendance, and engagement.
The committee discussed a proposal to form a Dunbar Community Coalition to address persistent struggles at Dunbar Middle School, which has received failing accountability ratings for three consecutive years and seen declining enrollment despite recent small gains.
The two-part plan begins with a teacher reflective meeting to review performance and identify supports staff believe the community can provide. A later meeting would invite a small group of community members—nonprofits, faith leaders, board members and others—to review teacher findings and brainstorm concrete supports. Student leaders would attend to share perspectives.
The initiative’s goals are increasing adult involvement through mentoring, improving attendance, and strengthening parent engagement to create longer-term community support for the campus. Names and invitations have not been finalized and no formal actions were taken at the committee meeting.
