R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Three schools from the Brazosport Independent
School District earned a top rating from the Texas Education Agency
as a result of student performance on the State of Texas Assessments
of Academic Readiness tests administered in 2017; and
WHEREAS, To ensure that all students in Texas benefit from
the highest standards of education, TEA instituted a new
accountability rating system for the state's public schools and
districts in 2013; for a campus to gain "met standard"
classification, it must reach the target requirements in categories
that include student achievement, student progress, closing
performance gaps, and postsecondary readiness; and
WHEREAS, The Brazosport ISD campuses that attained this
distinction include O. A. Fleming Elementary School, Jane Long
Elementary School, and R. O'Hara Lanier Middle School; their
success comes as part of a districtwide effort to implement
turnaround initiatives of data analysis, needs assessments, and
improvement planning; and
WHEREAS, The educators and young people at these schools have
demonstrated outstanding dedication and perseverance in their
pursuit of academic excellence, and they may indeed take
justifiable pride in this prestigious designation from the State of
Texas; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Brazosport
ISD schools that achieved the top rating on the 2017 STAAR tests;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the district as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
