May 26, 2010

The Granbury ISD Board of Trustees met for a special meeting on May 24, 2010 to consider changes to the district’s graduation policy and to hear a report on preliminary state test scores. 

Trustees unanimously approved a modification to district policy regarding student participation in graduation ceremonies.  The change will allow the superintendent to determine if a student would not meet all state and local requirements due to an “administrative error.”  If the determination is made, the student could participate in graduation.

Superintendent Ron Mayfield provided a summary of preliminary state test scores to the board.  Based on initial estimates, Granbury ISD will likely receive a Recognized state accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency.  Projected ratings for campuses are:

• Exemplary:  Acton Elementary School, Crossland Ninth Grade Center, Oak Wood School
• Recognized:  Acton Middle School, Baccus Elementary School, Granbury High School, Granbury Middle School, Mambrino School
• Academically Acceptable:  Brawner Intermediate School (and paired campus Roberson Elementary School, which shares the same attendance zone)
• AEA – Academically Acceptable:  STARS Academy

Scores from fifth and eighth grade re-tests are still pending, and a report on student completion rate is expected in mid-June.  Official accountability ratings will be issued by TEA on July 30.
