Summary

Chief Academic Officer Dr. Robert Trejo and Principal Jennie Chavez reported that E.K. Downing Elementary is showing overall performance improvement, citing use of locally developed checkpoint assessments and state-provided interim assessments aligned to STAAR to inform interventions.

At the March 17 workshop, Chief Academic Officer Dr. Robert Trejo and E.K. Downing Elementary Principal Jennie Chavez presented an update on the campus' academic performance. They described the campus's use of locally developed checkpoint assessments and state-provided interim assessments aligned with STAAR to measure progress and guide planning and interventions.

According to the presentation, overall performance trends at E.K. Downing Elementary indicate improvement. Campus staff use the checkpoint and interim results to inform planning, allocate interventions and monitor student progress; trustees were given the update for information and no board action was taken.

Trustees did not vote on campus-level interventions or resource allocations during the workshop. District staff will continue to monitor Downing's progress through the district's established indicators and report back to the board as needed.
