001Use this one here. I'm going to call the meeting to order. The time is 5:32. So step to a roll call ad and lead more. We have a quorum. Um, an announcement of this meeting of the Dallas Independent School District has been duly called and the notice of the meeting has been posted in accordance with Texas Open uh meetings act section 551.043 of the Texas government code. Um, we'll stand for the pledge of allegiance and >> I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all the flagg and indivisible. Are we comments? There is no uh public hearing 5.8. >> Good afternoon. Thank you for being here. The school districts are required to present the Texas academic performance
002report annually to our school board and community through a public hearing. Tonight, Mr. Gail Salasad, our executive director for federal programs, will share our Texas academic performance report, which can be found at the TEA website and our local website as well. So, Miss Professor, >> good evening. Thank you, uh, board members. uh ready to say board president but uh Mr. uh Ariano thank you for allowing us allowing me to uh present this as well as Dr. superintendent of school district are public uh that are here and those that are listening. Uh it gives me great pleasure to give the public hearing for the 2425 Texas academic performance report. Before we get started, it I just uh do want to remind you it is a requirement uh by statute Texas Education Code 39306 which requires that
003each district board of trustees holds a public hearing to discuss the district's annual report. uh commissioner rules uh as far as Texas education code 61.1022 indicates this uh hearing for public discussion uh or have a hearing within 90 uh days and those are 90 school days not including winter breaks. So we are having this same time and uh the purpose of the meeting really is to give information not only to the public but to you all as for how to read the taper report and go through each one of those. So uh before I get started I will go over the taper report and show you examples on reading the taper report. The presentation does also expected areas that need to be covered. So uh there will be eight components. Uh those eight components composed
004of the the majority being from the 2425 Texas academic performance report PDF taper report uh district and I will be discussing uh campus because they do we do receive a campus taper reports as well. Next uh second component will be the PE's financial standard report. uh review of that district accreditation status campus performance objectives re report uh on violent criminal incidents and campuses where you can find that student performance uh in postsecary institutions progress toward uh board adoption of h bill um three goals uh which we have reviewed before as well and the 2425 taper glossery. So before you we get started uh with the front cover or basically your taper report before you even uh view that I just want to tell you where all this information come from. It's compiled from by TA
005for uh district and campus using uh using uh PES and student assessment uh data. Also the 2425 paper for is published in PDF format. uh that's how it's given to us and how it will be given out includes a wide range of information on the performance of students in each district u and campus in the state performance uh and shown uh is shown disagregated by student groups including ethnicity and social economic status also provides extensive information on school and district staff programs and student demographics. So getting started with the cover page and basically everybody should have one of these or you saw you've seen it and this uh basically what it starts off in the cover page. On the cover page the first thing you'll see is the district number as well as the 2025
006uh district accountability uh score. The district did receive a score of a B. And then uh I added the campus scores and it distinctions. I will go back and go over the district. The district has an opportunity to win uh to earn one distinction and that's a post-secondary uh the postsecondary readiness distinction. Uh we are working toward it. Uh we didn't quite get it. Uh there are some criteria we need to work on and uh we are working toward that as well. The campus distinctions are posted there uh in bold. Alice High School had a B, Whams had a C. the Bose A Bon and C science B shallard B and then in parentheses are the distinctions. The high school has an opportunity of seven distinctions and they earned two out of those seven. Uh
007Deose earned three out of three out of six. Science and Shaller both did a a great job earning five distinctions out of six. So uh there is a little bit of difference. high school has seven and the elementaryaries have seven opportunity for distinction the 20 and uh moving down further down on that still that cover page special education determination status and in there you'll see the 2025 special education determination status and it says needs assistance. What does that mean? A needs assistance rating for a district specifically refers to a special education determination status. This rating indicates that the district did not meet all requirements in its special education program but did not reach high severity levels. That means though there are minor uh things that we need to work on. Uh we just submit those
008that information to the state and Dr. Metta and her team uh are making gains on making sure that that is met and we not a big problem. the next uh couple of pages from page three and if you want to turn to page three you'll find this uh this will be the first area on page 3 through 11 these are different pages that are being covered uh and I will tell you the highlight um before we look at these uh scores I will tell you that the highlights and the gains and scores of grade level for the 20 will give you in pages 3 through 11 you'll find um the state, regional and district scores. Um and it it will it will report in this area. It'll have each assessment including SAT, ACT for acceler
009accelerated testers and all grades, all subjects, all grades by subject by enrolled grade, third graders through 8th graders at the meets grade level or above. It also covers reading and math both grades third through eight assessments assessments only grades third through eight assessments and EOCC's reading grades third through eight assessments and EOCC's math grades third through eight assessments and EOCC's and then uh so it goes extensively that's why it goes uh pages 3 through 11 it covers quite a bit. How do you read this? Reviewing uh what is uh given to you at the top. You can see grade three or the third graders and reading and highlighted in purple is your uh approaches in blue is your meats on the far left and in green is your masters. So there is a comparison and
010this where our our uh teams all study this information that's given to them. I can guarant guarantee you this is not studied just as they came out. This is the official results. These are studied as soon as they come out in the summer. Um the preliminary scores. So we start off with the state. If you look at the state in 2024 in reading they had a 74. In 2025 they did go up to a 77. The region at approaches 74 to 78. and the district from 71 to 75. All three of them made uh gains in the meat level. Uh the state had 48 and jumped up to 52. Region 47 to 52 and the and then the district 47 to 54 making seven um points. Uh Joe and these are all third grade campuses.
011So then at the mast's area it was 21 at at the state to 23 in 2025 16 to 21 for the region and then 18 to 31 for the district. In all three of these, you'll see that the district went up and then the district also was above the state in the masters and the means. And that's exactly where we want to be uh to be uh be better than all the surrounding areas and districts around us and the state. Going further down in the in the map, uh is also impressive. all third grade students. The state was at 70% uh in 2024 and and then uh they uh went up to a 71. The region 68 to a 70. The district from a 69 to a 72 going into the meets 42 to 46.
012region 38 to 44 and the district 41 to 49 eight-point games in the Masters the state was at 15 in 2025 it jumped up to to 19 region 13 to and then the district jumped from 12% masters to 19% in all three areas the district outdid the state once again so again those are the type of scores that you want to be seeing uh throughout your um campuses. So, this is a reflection of the entire district and the campuses. Each campus will have their own scores. This is as a team effort and that's why we're all working towards that and it looks like very positive news. Would you like to add anything? >> We're good. Thank you. >> Moving on to uh page uh Click those. Got too excited. Moving on to pages 12 and
01313, we do have the school progress reported at 252.4. We're going to be looking at the annual growth. So, what is annual growth? The annual growth is reported uh in reading uh language arts and math only. These are the only two subject test uh that two subjects that are tested yearly uh from third grade to English one. I can tell you the social studies and science are not tested every year. So uh growth is uh not measured at all. So looking at the information that's given there uh you do have your we this time I use secondary I use the EOCC's or English uh one two and three. So looking at those English one at the state level they dropped they uh from 2024 to 2025 they did drop from 64 to 63. The region
014would also as well drop 64 to 62. The district did not drop it made gain 66 to 69. English 2 once again the state dropped from 69 to 65. the region 71 to 66 and the district did drop four points 65 to 61 and in the algebra the state did increase from 72 to 74 region as well 70 to 74 and then the the uh district did increase from 66 to 67 course we're working on making growth and gains those are students going from one year to the next are they making gains and that's what growth measure is. So the next part component is accelerated learners. Accel accelerated learners uh measure the percentage of students who did not pass their star assessment in the previous year but showed improvement to a higher performance level in
015the current year. So, uh, looking at those as well, the state, uh, they went from 20, uh, English one, excuse me, at the state level, they went from 20 to 23 in 2025. And the region 23 to 26, the district went from 22 to 30. In English 2, the uh, the state 29 to 29 stay stagnant. The region dropped from 33 to 31. The district as well stayed stable 25 to 25. So uh and in algebra the state uh dipped down from 55 to 54. The region as well 67 to 57 to 56. And then the district is the only one that made gains in this from 47 to 52 5point gains while everybody was losing. We're again making uh making progress and making sure that our students are learning. Those that didn't pass the
016previous year, they passed um on the test. So, they did a really good job of uh taking care of those. Moving on to the um bilingual. Yes. Um bilingual education students and the ESL students. Uh you can see the different scores and the comparison to each one of those. That's page 14. >> Uh page 14. Yes, ma'am. Um and as far as how the the state uh did 77 75 to 75 uh district went from 67 and made an increase to 70 as well as in the me uh you have um I skipped the region 73 to 74 in these area 48 at the state level to 50 45 to 47 at the region and then the district as well had gains from 38 to 41. 1. And then the masters, they went from 20
017to 21 at the state level, 16 to 18 at the region, and the district making gains from 12 to 14. Again, uh these are uh gains that we want to make. And again, these are all grades, all students, uh and how well they did. I will tell you that the district right now has 157 ESL students, uh and then 114 emerging bilingual students. Um, continue with the star participation. The state does measure you as far as accountability for the star participation. You they want to make sure that all your students are showing up and testing and they do look at this because they want to make sure that you're not covering up some students and you send them home and they don't test. So, uh, practice that was done in the past. So, they want
018to make sure they see how many students are are participating and showing up for that exam. So, the the state does have a 99% um percent participation as well as a region as well as the district. So, you can see the numbers there. We are uh making sure that our students are showing up to test. We're not covering up any students or sending them home. Uh the next one will be the uh the attendance, dropout and graduation. And on this one um I will tell you as far as the attendance probably the biggest thing that you can see and I'll go over the state the average for the state um as a district is 93.3 and it did increase by.3 the following year 93.6 region 92.1 to 92.4 4 and the district not quite there
019but making big gains from 89.4 to 91.1. So uh making gains and and our grounds on that. The annual dropout uh of course we want that number to be extremely small. The state is 1.9 and these are uh one year behind. And I forgot to mention this um as far as uh the cere um the region 1.7 I'll say that the district in 22 23 was6 slightly went up uh in 2324 to 1% but again that number is still below the state so it's still we're still in a good standing there. The next number and I'll focus just on graduation um rate the graduation for the class of 2024. In order to meet that standard you need to make sure that when you walk any student that walks in in uh four years prior as
020soon as they walk in that becomes their cohort and you have to start looking at it. You walked in with your class will you walk out with your class in four for four years. So what the state average is 90.7 the region is 91.3 and the district was 91.2 that means all those students walked in the same time at the same time and then walked out in for four years as as a graduate. So it's the same code book. Moving on to pages 24 and 25. Um, I will tell you it was kind of hard to pick uh which one little section. I wanted to go over all the sections because this is really really you already I see smiles on some of you board members because you already heard it over and over again.
021But I will tell you it's something to be extremely proud of. Uh the gains are amazing. Um, and I now being in behind the scenes and seeing how it's done, it's a team effort and, uh, the high school does a great job, the middle school and so forth, um, even the elementary, the foundation as far as making sure they teach him about CCMR, uh, is amazing. So just to cover a few areas um on the college and career readiness, the first one is and I do want to uh go over as far as the state. I know the state was at 76 um and then went up to 81 region was 70 jumped up to 80 and this is where it get starts getting uh really amazing and that's uh the district in 2022 23
022was 47 47.5 and jumped up in one year >> 88.6 six. It went from um it made just huge gains. And then go on to the next one. College ready. Uh the the the the state with a 61 jumped up to 70. The region from 50 to 61. The district from 39 to 73. Huge games. Uh TSI on the English. So they're taking their TSI. They're getting ready for this. uh making sure that they pass this exam. Uh the the state 62- 69 good gains region 53- 61 and the district from 29 to 70 huge gains on that's English on the map same thing the state 54 to 63 44 to 54 look at the region compared or even the state compared to our district from 28 to 73 above the state. So it's not
023like you're just saying yeah it is. It's amazing. So outstanding gains on that. So just add one more. There we go. Um P again on pages 24 through 25. Um the career and military readiness the uh annual graduates the state has 36 to and improved to 38 the region 43 to 48 and once again the district from 19.7 to 54.5 way above the state and even in the region and the approved industrybased walking on career ready the state was is 33 jumped up to 34. The region from 40 to 44 and the district 17 to 45. Again, outdoing the the region and the state. So, that's uh really good and I can see uh knowing what's coming uh should get better as well. So, kudos to the district, the board. Thank you all for your
024support on everything you've done to make sure you maintain it. I know you're aware of it. Every time we say it, it brings a smile to your face, but it's the support you all give to the uh to the campuses and the high school and the and the middle school. And to Dr. Tino, I know quite a few things far as how she does it. So outstanding and thank you for your leadership in that. >> Oh, of course. And I just may add that's where all the outcome based bonus came in from that 19 to that 54. That's where the money was generated because we are doing better than the state and the region. So the kids are showing up to school after they graduate. So >> and stay with that one as well. You're
025going in a few minutes you're going to see the postsecary the first year once they graduate where do they step in and you're you'll see some of those numbers once again in a few minutes. So, moving on to the uh the student information. I'll go over this uh fairly quickly. Uh there's a I'll go over the uh enrollment. That's our snapshot. Our snapshot um >> on page what? 29. >> Page 29 of 30. 29. I believe this is on page 29. So on on this one, just to let you know, as for our total students, uh was uh four 4,297 students. Out of those students, uh 38 3,89 students, um 88% of our students are economically disadvantaged. And then I will tell you also as far as student information, you can see the students on
026the left, the foster care, homeless, 182 students. um uh title one students with where they qualify 42% uh 4,200 uh students qualify for the title one uh grants and so forth. So uh we're able to service our kids with title monies and then you can see all the different other numbers as far as student information military at risk and we have to assist and make sure that we address those students. Also with the total students with disabilities we do have 770 students uh with different disability. you can see uh how it's broken up as well. I will tell you as far as economically disadvantaged students for this uh school year, it looks like we're going to have about 91% according to our PES. And it's important that we take care of those numbers mainly because
027it not only affects each one of those information uh groups, but it also affects uh the funds that are coming in, whether it's title, special ed, ad risk, and so forth. So that's an important making sure we take care of our team's numbers. Moving on, continuing with the staff information. Um on page 32, uh the I grabbed as far as uh the total number of staff members that we have 54.6 6 how the 6 comes in but um it's just a breakup and then after that I will tell you we have 215 teachers in the district 215.4 four uh further down I will uh go over as far as uh teachers uh by years of experience from beginning uh or the one through five 1 through 10 uh teachers with years of experience that makes
028up 44% of our teacher uh group from 11 years of experience to to over 30 that's 56% of that staff. And um right below that, the number of students per teacher on average we have 19.8 um average of of students per teacher. So we are making sure we're meeting um where class is full. Moving on to page 33 of the taper report, you have the teachers incentive aotment. Uh we did have uh 45 teachers receiving the the TIA. Out of those uh 45 teachers, 10 of them were recognized, received an average of $6,400. And the exemplary, those 29, and they received an average of of little under three uh 13,000. And in the masters, there was six of them uh a little over 23,000 that they received on TIA. And if you compare those to
029the state average on the right, you can tell that the our teachers are receiving a larger amount of funds as far as for TIA and that has to do with uh our numbers and so forth our location. So our teachers are making more than the state uh average from 64 for each one as you can see it. Okay, moving on to uh section two and then pretty much what covered uh section one which is a taper report what you have in front of you. After that there are a few sections that we do need to cover uh financial standard reports. Um uh this was covered by uh uh by Miss Sanchez I believe before on uh uh the actual financial audit. It does cover the AL uh we do have an Alice ISD. Each one
030of those is a link. Um, I'm not going to go into them right now. Uh, those were, like I said, covered before in a previous meeting. Uh, then as well as the campuses. Uh, this will be posted eventually on our district web page. So, we're going to follow through that as needed. Section three has to do with the district district accreditation status for the 2526 school year. You can see the orange box. Um Alice ISD uh did receive the for the 25 uh 2025 uh first rating they did receive an A superior achievement uh accountability rating was a B and of course 2526 it's an accredited school and has been um campus performance objective campus uh improvement plan the CIPs those were covered also uh before uh in December and I'm covering those with the
031district improvement plan and the CIPs. Each campus has develops and uh has developed and is imple implementing a CIP as required by the Texas Education Code uh 11.253. Each camp uh CIP includes performance objectives also approved uh by the board that are based on data data analysis and needs assessment including data reported annual taper reports and each campus per periodically measures toward uh progress towards its performance objective and I can attest to that we do have principal meetings and they're expected and even be before that throughout the every month uh I can tell you that they're uh making sure that they u look at their information update CIPs for the 2425 school year. Uh basically uh mentioned when I u came to the board uh the DIP and the CIPs are live documents. So those
032have to be changing. That's why you look at data con constantly. Uh it will go along. Sorry I didn't post those. Um so both uh the objectives of each campus and each campus progress toward meeting those objectives included again in the district's annual report. And section five uh report on violent or criminal incidents. Uh this one is section 39.306 306 requires that each district uh to publish its annual report, a report on violent or criminal incidents that occur uh at each campus. Um again, it's a report that you will see on our district web page as well as on campuses as needed. Uh it is in the civil rights data. There is a link there. Uh and then there'll be a report for each one of those um on the web page as well as
033a district uh central office as well as um the campuses like I mentioned. Section six is student performance in SEC postsecondary institutions. Remember we're talking about CCMR or our kids. Well, the Texas education uh section 39.306 306 requires that each district to publish as part of its annual report a report on student performance in postsecary after high school uh institutions during the first year enrolled after graduation from high school and you can see our graduating class and those are students it is on uh the web page as well on the it's called the um Texas higher education coordinating board um I went and I took a a snippet of this um and you can see we had 285 students um total high school graduates on on that class and then you can add the numbers
034there as far as uh those that went to a four-year college, two-year college, a two-year public college, independent college or universities um and of course eight weren't um uh trackable and then not found 154. So quite a few students and like Dr. I said those are the students that were um bring in some of those funds and they'll get larger. Um and then after that we have uh progress of the district uh and each campus toward meeting board adopted house three goals. This was also covered uh previously. This was in September of uh 2025. That was Miss Gelina Dunes that covered that. Um, and of course it was looks something like this. House Bill 3 goals and yearly targets. It's a five-year goals and targets progress update. And it covers a early childhood literacy third
035grade um as well as third grade math and CCMR. And the first one, if you recall, looks like this. Our third graders and uh reading in 2025. You can see the green check marks all the way across where they were met. And the math um pretty much all of them were met. And then of course our CCMR oops um we are on track to getting those. Of course these are a few years behind so we should be on track to getting that. So if you notice uh it's not just us bragging about the CCMR. It is a big component of the entire uh report from beginning to end even after graduation is a big part of it. And then the last section uh is the idea that the taper does have a glossery uh taper
036report does have a glossery. Each year TA prepares and publishes a taper glossery. Oops, sorry. Um and it is in Spanish also and we are obligated to post that as well. So um with that said and in closing I will tell you the resources and availability of the annual report will be found um uh hard copy or paper copies if needed or asked for or you'll find on our web page. If you have any questions or information you can contact me. If I don't know I'll find you the right person. So questions and answers. >> I appreciate your time. Thank you. It felt so good to see the actual numbers on paper. did not work and I apologize for being late for my son. The time is now in this meeting. Thank you. We have
037faith.
