The Frisco ISD board of trustees presented a resolution during Monday’s school board meeting calling on the Texas Legislature to repeal the rating system utilizing A-F grades for schools and districts.

The preliminary ratings were released Friday. View FISD's results here.

This is the first time the Texas Education Agency’s A-F rating system has been used. The system change comes as result of House Bill 2804, which was passed by the 84th Texas Legislature in 2015.

In the resolution, FISD asks the Legislature to develop a community-based accountability system that empowers school districts to design their own internal systems of assessment and accountability.

Trustees decided to table voting on the resolution until the February meeting to allow for further discussion.

Trustee Debbie Gillespie, who sits on the Texas Association of School Boards board of directors, said the trustees are not upset by the new accountability system but rather the complexity of the new system.

She said the new system is not meaningful and not easily understood.

Trustee John Classe said he has seen the accountability system change at least three times, which is where he said the problem lies.

“My problem with the constant change that we’re getting in the state is that it makes it increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to judge progress,” Classe said. “How are we doing today versus how we were doing five or 10 years ago? We can’t tell because the state won’t leave the system alone.”

FISD Superintendent Jeremy Lyon said the ratings that were released were a trial run and are not useful in proving a school's performance. There are still many corrections left to be made, he said.

"There's a lot of work left to do on this system, and the [TEA Commissioner of Education] acknowledges that," Lyon said. "If they can design a system that truly helps school districts and schools improve their academic performance, we're all for that."
