Accountability

Accreditation

Tex. Educ. Code § 39.362
19 Tex. Admin. Code § 97.1055(f)(3)(A)

Texas provides annual academic accountability ratings to its public school districts, charters and schools. The ratings are based largely on performance on state standardized tests and graduation rates. The ratings examine student achievement, student progress, efforts to close the achievement gap and postsecondary readiness. A video available in English and Spanish provides a quick overview of the system.

TEA accredits public schools in Texas at the district level for grades K-12. The Accreditation Status, Standards, and Sanctions section of the Texas Administrative Code (TAC) states how accreditation statuses will be determined and assigned to school districts. Those statuses are defined as Accredited, Accredited-Warned, Accredited-Probation, and Not Accredited-Revoked. The TAC rules also establish accreditation standards and sanctions, including definitions, purpose and oversight appointments.

Crandall ISD is an Accredited School District.

Crandall ISD administers a wide variety of assessments. Information on each assessment and the assessment team for each campus can be located on the Accountability and Assessments page.

Annual Federal Report Card

Federal Report Cards

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), requires each State education agency to prepare and publish an annual report card with state-, district- and campus-level data.

Federal Report Cards for 2021–22 are available.

ESSA also requires each State education agency to report annually to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education.

The Texas Annual Report to the Secretary is available for 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22.

Every district that receives Title I, Part A funding is responsible for distributing the state-, district- and campus-level report cards to each of its campuses, the parents of all enrolled students, and the general public.

Prior to 2013, the NCLB Report Card was published annually from 2009–12.

For more information about the Federal Report Card and districts' responsibilities related to it, please visit the Title I, Part A webpage.

Conflicts Disclosure Statements and Questionnaires

How is Overall Performance calculated?

Overall grades for districts and schools are calculated based on performance in three key areas, or domains. We take the higher score between how much students know (Student Achievement) or how much better students are doing than last year or than peers in similar schools (School Progress). We then consider whether performance gaps exist among different groups of students (Closing the Gaps).

This design reflects a commitment to recognizing high student achievement and the impact of highly effective educators while maintaining focus on the students most in need. Ratings options for the overall score out of 100 are as follows:

A:	90	–	100
B:	80	–	89
C:	70	–	79
Not Rated:	0	–	69

See an Overall Performance calculation example.

Targeted Improvement Plan

39.106(e-1)(2)

Within the state accountability system, campuses must engage in intervention requirements, including identifying members of the Campus Intervention Team, conducting a needs assessment, and developing an implementing a Targeted Improvement plan if:

a campus received an overall rating of F;
a campus receives an overall rating or a performance rating in any domain of D;
a campus receives a Comprehensive Support and Improvement identification;
a campus receives a Targeted Support and Improvement identification; or
a campus receives an Additional Targeted Support identification

Specific intervention requirements are outlined for each method of identification.

Texas Academic Performance Report

19 Tex. Admin. Code § 61.1022(f); Tex. Educ. Code § 39.306(c)

The Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPRs) were previously known as the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) Reports. The TAPRs pull together a wide range of information on the performance of students in each school and district in Texas every year. Performance is shown disaggregated by student groups, including ethnicity and low income status. The reports also provide extensive information on school and district staff, programs, and student demographics. Find more information here.

Federal Program Funds

Federal programs offered at Crandall ISD cover a wide range of special population students. All elementary campuses in Crandall receive Title I services. Title I, in grades K-6 offers extra assistance in basic reading instruction for students identified as the most at risk.

Title II funds are utilized in the area of staff development for teacher and principal training and recruitment. The purpose of Title II, Part A, is to increase the academic achievement of all students by helping schools and school districts improve teacher and principal quality and ensure that all teachers are highly qualified. Through the program, local educational agencies (LEAs) receive funds on a formula basis.

Title III funds are implemented to increase the English proficiency of limited English proficient children. Our funds are used to provide high-quality language instruction educational programs that are based on scientifically based research demonstrating the effectiveness of the programs in increasing English proficiency and student academic achievement in the core academic subjects.

Title IV funds are intended to improve students’ academic achievement by increasing the capacity of State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and local communities to provide all students with access to a well-rounded education; improve school conditions for student learning; and improve the use of technology to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.

A student who is homeless will be provided flexibility regarding certain district provisions, including:
● Proof of residency requirements;
● Immunization requirements;
● Educational program placement (if the student is unable to provide previous academic records or misses an application deadline during a period of homelessness);
● Credit-by-examination opportunities at any point during the year (if the student enrolled in the district after the beginning of the school year), per State Board of Education (SBOE)rules;
● Assessment of the student’s available records to determine transfer of credit for subjects and courses taken before the student’s enrollment in the district;
● Awarding partial credit when a student passes only one half of a two-half course;
● Eligibility requirements for participation in extracurricular activities; and
● Graduation requirements.

Federal law allows a student who is homeless to remain enrolled in the “school of origin” or to enroll in a new school in the attendance area where the student is currently residing.

If a student who is homeless in grade 11 or 12 transfers to another district but does not meet the graduation requirements of the receiving district, state law allows the student to request a diploma from the previous district if the student meets the criteria to graduate from the previous district.

A student or parent who is dissatisfied by the district’s eligibility, school selection, or enrollment decision may appeal through policy FNG(LOCAL). The district will expedite local timelines, when possible, for prompt dispute resolution. [See Credit by Examination for Advancement/Acceleration, Course Credit, and Student who are Homeless for more information.]

Public Notice of Intent to Apply

In accordance with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) guidelines, Crandall ISD is required to inform community members and stakeholders regarding our intent to apply for the 2023–2024 Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC), Cycle 12, Year 1 grant application.

The purpose of the 21st CCLC grant program, also known as Texas Afterschool Centers on Education (ACE), is to support the creation of community learning centers that provide academic and enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for students, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.

We will submit the grant application to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) by January 23, 2023. Please provide any feedback or suggestions you may have.

The grant application will be available for public review after submission of the application.
