BISD Principals present improvement plans to the board

When the Texas Education Agency came out with their accountability grades in Aug. there were four Breckenridge schools that received a ‘D’ or lower, now the principals from the schools have an improvement plan that they presented to the BISD School Board.

On Oct. 21 principals from North Elementary, South Elementary, East Elementary and Breckenridge Junior High presented their Targeted Improvement Plan (TIP) to the board. They told the group that these accountability grades are based on STAAR and other assessment testing.

The principals that presented were Barbra Collinsworth from East, Prairie Freeman from North, Kenna Rainey from South and Mary Perkins from Breckenridge Junior High. 

East and North Elementary received a 55 which is an ‘F’ and both these schools are graded together because East does not have a grade that is tested. South received a 66, which is a ‘D’, and Junior High was given a 67, also a ‘D’.
