Austin ISD has approved its scorecard for 2021-26, which presents equity goals with statistical measurements to guide the district.

The card includes goals for economically disadvantaged students as well as individual goals for Black and Hispanic economically disadvantaged students. District leaders want to see an increase in the percentage of students testing well on standardized math and reading tests over the next five years, according to the scorecard.

Performance on the scorecard is updated each year, and the results factor into whether Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde maintains her position in the district.

The scorecard also calls for improvements in the number of students in special education who meet or exceed their growth projection on Measures of Academic Progress math and reading tests.

The exact percentage increase goals will be set after the district has data for students’ MAP scores at the end of the 2021-22 school year, the scorecard said.


The district’s board of trustees approved the scorecard on consent during the regular Dec. 16 voting meeting.
