Celina ISD officials have received an A from the Texas Education Agency for their financial management and transparency during the 2023-24 school year.
The district’s board of trustees reviewed the rating with Chief of Business Resources Melissa Kelly during a Jan. 20 board meeting. The rating uses lagging data, so the score for the 2024-25 school year is based on data from the 2023-24 school year, Kelly said during the board presentation.
Out of a possible score of a 100, CISD received a 92. The TEA’s scoring levels include:
- A, superior: 90-100
- B, above standard: 80-89
- C, meets standard: 70-79
- F, substandard: 0-69
The Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas, also called FIRST, is issued by the TEA. It measures the quality of a district’s reporting and management of finances to hold the district accountable for its financial management.
