WHEREAS, Three schools from the Brazosport Independent |
|
|
School District earned a top rating from the Texas Education Agency |
|
|
as a result of student performance on the State of Texas Assessments |
|
|
of Academic Readiness tests administered in 2017; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, To ensure that all students in Texas benefit from |
|
|
the highest standards of education, TEA instituted a new |
|
|
accountability rating system for the state's public schools and |
|
|
districts in 2013; for a campus to gain "met standard" |
|
|
classification, it must reach the target requirements in categories |
|
|
that include student achievement, student progress, closing |
|
|
performance gaps, and postsecondary readiness; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Brazosport ISD campuses that attained this |
|
|
distinction include O. A. Fleming Elementary School, Jane Long |
|
|
Elementary School, and R. O'Hara Lanier Middle School; their |
|
|
success comes as part of a districtwide effort to implement |
|
|
turnaround initiatives of data analysis, needs assessments, and |
|
|
improvement planning; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The educators and young people at these schools have |
|
|
demonstrated outstanding dedication and perseverance in their |
|
|
pursuit of academic excellence, and they may indeed take |
|
|
justifiable pride in this prestigious designation from the State of |
|
|
Texas; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Brazosport |
|
|
ISD schools that achieved the top rating on the 2017 STAAR tests; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the district as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
