Grades TestedMath & Reading, Grades 3-8Writing, Grades 4 &7Science, Grades 5 &8Social Studies, Grade 8
State Assessment ofAcademic Readiness (STAAR)
Promotion RequirementsPromotion requirements will
not include STAAR results for 2011-12.
After 2011-12, students in grades 5 and 8 must perform satisfactorily in math and reading order to promote.
End of Course Assessments (EOC)Students must meet the minimum requirements
on all 12 STAAR EOC tests.Students must make a satisfactory
CUMULATIVE EOC passing score in each of the four content areas.
Students may retake EOC assessments as often as they want in order to meet the cumulative score; however, the district will re-configure EOC scores only until the student earns credit.

English III Algebra II Physics U.S. History
End of Course ExamsGraduating Class of 2015 is the first class
affected by new guidelines.State has not released all information on
cumulative scores requirements.Students in the Freshman 2010-11 class and
beyond will not receive semester credits in classes where an EOC is required.
EOC will count as 15 percent of the total grade and will be considered in class rank and for course credit.
How Will EOC be Counted?
End of Course grades will be reported as:
Level 1 - Minimum Standard(unsatisfactory academic performance)
Level II - Passing Standard(satisfactory academic performance)
Level III - Advanced Measure(advanced academic performance)
How Will EOC be Counted?EOC exam grades will be
counted as:69% - Less than Minimum Standard *
75% - Minimum Standard
85% - Passing Standard
95% - Advanced Measure
100% - Perfect Score* met commissioner’s Minimum Score,
but did not achieve Level II Passing Standard.
AccountabilityThe State of Texas has not
applied for a waiver and GISD will continue to be under the same accountability as 2010-11.
Current guidelines under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) still apply.
“A Report to Citizens”PART THREE
School Finance and BudgetHistorical Perspectives
Current Financial PictureFuture Considerations
Mr. Joe Dan Lee, Superintendent
Finance – Historical Perspective2011 Legislative Session reduced all public
school funding by $4 billion in foundation school program funding and an additional $1.5 billion in grant money for educational support programs.
GISD has had to re-evaluate spending levels due to the reduction in State and Federal revenue and from budget adjustments related to frozen revenue levels (6 years) and increased operational costs.
Finance – Historical Perspective
Georgetown ISD’s State revenue was reduced by $4.8M in 2011-12 and will be reduced an additional $2.4M in 2012-13. There were also other reductions in State grant funding and Federal entitlement money.
GISD received $1.6M in EduJobs money in 2011-12 and will not receive these funds in future years.
Budget Review In 2006, GISD became a Chapter 41 recapture
district as legislative per student funding levels were frozen.
There were continued staff additions to serve the 2-4% student growth.
Operational expenditures increased to serve additional students/staff growth.
Budgets increased annually (see slide).87% of annual GISD budget is personnel.
