body
STAFF: Dr. Kelly Ritchie, Head of School
BACKGROUND:
Annually, the Texas Education Association (TEA) requires all Districts and Charter Schools to conduct a public hearing on the Texas Academic Performance Results (TAPR). The TEA rates schools based on several factors, including economic disadvantage, emerging bilingual/English language learners, student achievement, school progress, academic growth, relative performance, and closing the gap, all determining distinction in tested subject areas.
DISCUSSION:
Due to pending litigation, the TEA has not released the overall A-F rating scale for public schools. Therefore, the TAPR is presented in its raw form this year.
The Academic Leadership team will use this information to impact student performance, creating a plan to continue areas of positive impact and addressing areas of concern.
FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Council Opens the Public Hearing, receives the report, and opens the floor for public commentary with Westlake Academy Staff available for questions and answers. Council Closes the Public Hearing and approves the resolution.
