Adopted by the Board: March 21, 2005 Revised: October 21, 2014


District Improvement Plan 2014-15

District Name: Groesbeck ISD Date of Committee Approval: Date of Board Approval: Goal #1 - Student Achievement: All student groups at GISD will be given educational opportunities to increase academic performance, meeting or exceeding the state standards. Performance Objective(s): 1. All students populations, including African American, Hispanic, economically disadvantaged and special education students, will improve in their writing abilities through more frequent, more skills-based, more targeted and cross-curricular writing initiatives (system safeguard). 2. All students will increase their capacity in math, science, ELAR, and social studies. 3. The district will strive to meet federal limits on alternative assessments (system safeguard) through the RtI program and extensive, targeted, and individualized interventions. Summative Evaluation: TAIS; STAAR/TAKS; Community Engagement Rating (CER), SDAA; LDAA; RPTE; PEIMS Data; Attendance Data, PBMAS Goal 1 - Summary of Needs Assessment Findings: (Include AEIS, Adequate Yearly Progress, Drop Out Rate, Attendance, Test Participation Rate, etc.) For the second rating of the new STAAR testing system, the district, GMS, and GHS were rated “Met Standard” with 68% of students passing all tests combined at phase-in satisfactory standard. Enge and ALC (Fast Track) received and “Improvement Required” rating, and HOW, as the feeder to Enge, was also assigned the “Improvement Required” rating. Enge students did not have adequate academic progress (Index 2) and ALC did not have show enough student achievement (Index 1) or postsecondary readiness (Index 4). As a result, these campuses are in the School Improvement process and have a separate Targeted Improvement Plan. The district and all tested campuses also received several “System Safeguard” warnings, especially in the area of writing (with only 57% of all students passing the writing test – but up from 49% the previous year) and federal caps on alternative assessments. Each system safeguard is addressed in the DIP or CIP. The district was rated in 4 indices, Index 1 Student Achievement (District 68/Target 55), Index 2 Student Progress (District 30/Target 16), Index 3 Closing Performance Gaps (District 30/Target 28), and Index 4 Postsecondary Readiness (District 65/Target 57). Groesbeck High School also earned two distinctions in the areas of “Academic Achievement in Social Studies” and “Postsecondary Readiness.” The 4-year high school graduation rate was 98.6%, and 78.3% of students graduated with a Recommended or Distinguished diploma. 2014 PBMAS data reveals the district received three 3’s that will be addressed in staging in the TAIS: special education STAAR-M participation rate and ESL mathematics and reading passing rates. The Community Engagement Rating shows exemplary progress in Wellness and PE, Community and Parent Involvement, 21st Century Workforce, 2nd Language Acquisition, Digital Learning, and Dropout Prevention; it shows recognized progress in Fine Arts and acceptable progress in Educational Programs for the Gifted and Talented. Compliance and policy reporting requirements are met.

Goal #2 - Parent/Community Involvement: Parents/Community will be full partners with Groesbeck Independent School District personnel in the education of their children. Performance Objective: 1. Improve communication with partnership with parents/community for all students. 2. Provide parent liaison to serve parents/community and at-risk students. 3. Increase parental/community participation in school events. 4. Encourage parent/community communication with Board of Trustees and Superintendent. Summative Evaluation: AEIS; STAAR; Parental Involvement Records; Committee Participation, Survey Information Goal 2 - Summary of Needs Assessment Findings: H.O. Whitehurst Elementary School and Enge-Washington Intermediate School are both Title I campuses, so documentation of parental involvement is detailed. All campuses offer a “Meet the Teacher” night or an Open House, as well as a variety of other opportunities for parental involvement. Groesbeck Middle School and Groesbeck High School continue to have lots of parents involved due to the participation of extra-curricular activities. All campuses utilize the Connect-Ed system to inform parents of activities and opportunities for involvement. One District challenge is to involve parents of At-Risk students who are not in extra-curricular activities, and one way we are meeting this goal is through the ACE program. SHAC, the District Improvement Team, and Campus Improvement Teams involve parents and community members. Presently, involvement of Spanish speaking parents is a District need/challenge.

Goal #3 – Safe and Orderly Environment: Groesbeck Independent School District will maintain a safe and orderly school climate, conducive to learning and positive for students and continue to update facility needs/repairs. Performance Objective:

1. Drug and alcohol programs will be utilized to prevent student usage. 2. Safety and discipline procedures will be implemented District-wide. 3. Update Crisis Management Plan 4. Assess the District’s Facilities at each campus and devise a plan 5. Establish an Energy Conservation Plan

Summative Evaluation: AEIS Data; STAAR; Annual S/DFSC Evaluation; Technology Plan/Inventory; State Disaster Report Goal 3 - Summary of Needs Assessment Findings: Groesbeck ISD discipline problems remain low in comparison to other districts of equal size. Facilities are well maintained and well equipped. Utility bills show the need for an energy conservation plan. Groesbeck students deal with many external and internal factors that place them at-risk for dropout, and these factors need to be addressed. The GISD emergency plan needs to be updated, and the district is considered to moving to a web-based product. There is a need to update emergency drills and train teachers in an “Active Shooter” emergency based on detailed analysis of state and/or national school-shooting events.
