Trustees,
Administrators Honor Recognized Schools
The
Board of Trustees honored the nine IISD schools rated as “Recognized” by
the Texas Education Agency (TEA) through the state’s 2007 Texas School
Accountability Rating System. The nine schools are Barton, Brandenburg,
Brown, Gilbert, Good, John Haley, Hanes, and Keyes elementary schools
and Lamar Middle School.
Dr.
Marie Morris, assistant superintendent for teaching & learning, praised
the schools on behalf of the district. Dr. Cheryl Jennings, division
director of elementary teaching & learning, presented the school
principals with banners to be displayed at their respective campuses.
Increased scores on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS)
are cited as a major reason for the overall improvement. Five IISD
schools received the rating last year. |
