Humble ISD trustees received an overview of the district’s turnaround plan for Autumn Creek Elementary after the school earned consecutive unacceptable scores in the Texas Education Agency’s A-F Accountability Ratings.
The details
HISD Director of Accountability Sherita Wilson-Rodgers presented trustees with the overview during the board’s Nov. 10 meeting.
“[Turnaround plans are] for campuses that have received consecutive unacceptable ratings based on the preliminary data,” Wilson-Rodgers said.
According to previous reporting by Community Impact, Autumn Creek Elementary received “D” ratings for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 school years.
“Our focus is really on intensive curriculum and instructional improvements,” Wilson-Rodgers said.
A closer look
Based on the guidelines given to the district by the TEA, Wilson-Rodgers said the district’s improvement strategy will focus on instructional leadership, data-driven practices and the implementation of high-quality instruction.
“Data is guiding our interventions,” Wilson-Rodgers said. “We're setting measurable goals, we're tracking progress and we're ensuring that we provide [Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills]-aligned instruction.”
Wilson-Rodgers said the plan will also focus on strategic staffing and boosting instructional leadership.
“We're really focused on building leadership capacity and teacher capacity,” Wilson-Rodgers said.
Additionally, Wilson-Rodgers said officials are conducting check-ins with campus staff. Student outcome data will be collected in real time while the turnaround plan is in effect, which will allow campus and administrative officials to quickly assess whether improvement strategies are working.
“A critical part of the plan has to be about your milestones and your monitoring efforts,” Wilson-Rodgers said.
What's next
According to the Texas Education Code, the district will now be required to submit its turnaround plan to the TEA for final approval.
