New Braunfels ISD has joined dozens of other Texas school districts after the board of trustees voiced its support of a fair, effective and transparent accountability system.
The specifics
The board of trustees approved the resolution during a regular board meeting on March 4 to speak in opposition to the “retroactive and drastic” mid-year change to the 2022-23 school year performance ratings. NBISD officials support the efforts to reform the Texas Education Agency’s accountability system and are advocating for a rating method that uses more than standardized testing, according to the resolution.
“There were a number of districts who filed a lawsuit against the TEA in the fall; New Braunfels ISD was not part of that lawsuit,” NBISD Superintendent Laurelyn Arterbury said. “But that does not mean that you can't have a voice in this.”
