Principal reports 266 students; testing and curriculum issues noted

Board of Trustees, Veribest Independent School District · September 15, 2025

Summary

Principal Amber Palmer reported 266 students districtwide, TPRI testing completed and that staff found errors in TEA-provided Bluebonnet materials that are slowing lesson delivery.

Principal Amber Palmer told trustees that "Back to school went as smoothly as it could have possibly gone." She reported current enrollment at 266 students—145 in secondary and 121 in elementary—and said TPRI testing is complete with remaining benchmarks expected by Sept. 19.

Palmer also said district teachers launched Bluebonnet Math (K–5) and Bluebonnet Reading (grades 3–5) but have encountered numerous errors in TEA-provided materials that staff must correct before delivering some lessons. She described the curriculum work as "a work in progress" and said staff remain committed to the adopted materials while addressing errors.
