What happened

The district will hold a public hearing on Nov. 9, 2026 on Targeted Improvement Plans for Evans and Finley-Oates. It will also present a Local Improvement Plan for L.H. Rather Junior High.

Why it matters to families

Targeted Improvement Plans are required when a campus has low state ratings. The notice says the hearing will cover what the state expects and the interventions or sanctions that may follow if scores do not improve.

The evidence

The district's posted 2026-27 Notice of Public Hearing cites Texas Education Code 39A.057 for the two Targeted Improvement Plans and 39A.065 for L.H. Rather. It says the hearing covers 'insufficient campus performance.'
