Aledo ISD Board Room, 1008 Bailey Ranch Road
School board adopts the 2016-2017 campus improvement plans as the attendance-zone calendar is set and a testing irregularity delays the TAPR
The vote was 6-0. The Community Partners gave $3,000 to the AdvoCats and $2,500 to the education foundation, and 62 teacher grant applications came in.
The Aledo ISD Board of Trustees met Oct. 17, 2016, with six trustees present once Hoyt Harris arrived. The high school's National Honor Society officers presented. Superintendent Derek Citty reminded trustees of the Oct. 24 attendance-boundary workshop, the Nov. 3 Mad for Plaid fundraiser and town halls Nov. 7 and 10, described a cultural awareness in-service by Dr. Adolf Brown, and showed the fence being placed at McAnally Intermediate to give students a safer walk to Bearcat Park. The board recognized the Daniel Ninth Grade principal as the Texas Art Educator Association's principal of the year. President Jay Stringer distributed the 2016 goals and draft evaluation instrument and said the superintendent's evaluation might be delayed because statewide testing irregularities had held up the Texas Academic Performance Report. Dr. David Tillman reported the Community Partners' donations of $3,000 to the AdvoCats and $2,500 to the education foundation; Jennifer Loftin reported 62 grant applications; Bobby J. Rigues reported on school choice hearings, House Bill 5 pathways and TEA governance training. There were no public comments.
The consent agenda, approved 6-0, included the textbook committee and McAnally's Morning Mile program. Chief Financial Officer Earl Husfeld updated Elementary No. 5, and education foundation executive director Shawn Callaway presented the foundation's annual financial report. The board approved the 2016-2017 campus improvement plans, 6-0, needed no executive session, and adjourned at 8:26 p.m.
