Problem Statements Identifying Demographics Needs

Problem Statement 1: PBMAS data is compared from the past two years it indicates subgroups historically perform lower in all contents. Root Cause:
Low Student performance was due to students not having a strong foundation in literacy skills i.e. reading; writing and vocabulary, which impacts all
academic areas; need to improve practices through professional development.

2019 STAAR data indicates students conitnue to perform at the approaching level but so is the case for region and state. When compared to Region and
State STAAR performance data indicares that Hereford ISD is behind with the exception of migrant.

Reasons:

      All students and ECD – struggling readers; literacy gaps
      Migrant students appear to be performing better than district, region and state it is believed to be due to the hands on support provided by the
      supplemental instructional support staff during regular classroom instruction; tutorials; prescriptive planned extended day and continuous/consistent
      tracking and closely monitoring of migrant students performance.
      ELs – lack of implementation of ELPs with fidelity; need continuous literacy support in reading and writing; language support; need to provide
      Bilingual/ESL staff opportunities for professional development that addresses working with ELs population and well as networking with other
      professionals to enhance their knowledge and skills in best practices to ensure ELs academic success.

In summary HISD continues to strive in providing a quality education through appropriate resources; quality staff and quality instruction for all students but
it is evident there is work to be done to ensure students continue to move towards meet and masters grade level standards. The goal of the district is to
continue to analyze all systems in place for effectiveness to ensure academic success in all aspects of their education including required state assessments.

2018 STAAR data indicates students continue to perform at the approaching level but so is the case for region and state. HISD students performed lower
than the Region at the Masters level in all areas with the exception of 7th grade reading and 7th grade math. (District -64;Region 75; State 71) The district
scored 21 points higher than Region in 7th grade reading and 25 points higher in 7th grade math. While growth is evident in math at the approaches level
the district contues to lag behind regarding Region data in Masters. (District - 15; Region 19; State 21)

Sited possible reasons: a.) students do not have a strong foundation in literacy skills i.e reading, writing, vocabulary, which impacts their overall academic
areas; rigor and/or delivery of instruciton is not at the depth and complexity required for students to achieve at the masters level; lack of cognitive academic
language by all students. In an attempt to ensure students perform at the highest level of the statewide assessment standards the district will continue to
provide: Balance Literacy K-2- coaching and modeling; Roll out to grades 3-5 - foundational training; in the furture in 6-8 investigate what is needed to
sustain Balance Literacy; focus on scientifically researched-based instructional srategies; sheltered instruction strategies; hire instructional coaches to model
and work with teachers.

****HISD will be in year three in K-2 of implementing balance literacy foundations at elementary level and appear to be utilizing the strategies with
fidelity. It will be in year two for grades 3-5. More time is needed regarding implementation to see growth. At DLT meeting it was recommneded to provide
addtional training on balance literacy with a focus on writing. Professional development will continue to be provided to ensure appropriate implementation
and student academic literacy skills growth.

Opportunities for growth: "We are always encouraging our students to be the very best that they can be and to stretch themselves beyond what they believe
possible. "

According to 2018 PBMAS data analysis:

Bilingual/ESL, Title I, Part A or Migrant and SPED programs have student performance indicators identified as an area of concern. When longitudinal
PBMAS data is compared from the past two years it indicates subgroups historically perform lower in all contents. In analyzing the data the root cause for
low student performance was determined to be due to students not having a strong foundation in literacy skills i.e. reading; writing and vocabulary, which
impacts all academic areas. Also, it was determined that there is a need to improve teacher practices and increase student learning outcomes for those at risk
of not meeting rigorous local and state standards by providing professional development that is content focused, incorporates active learning, supports
collaboration, uses models of effective practice,and/or provides coaching and expert support. ( Teachers requested math professional development
specifically math instructional strategies to enhance students math knowledge and skills.) Report instructional coach would have been beneficial and the
goal is to hire more coaches to assist with the training and/or coaaching.

Three instructional coaches have been hired to support instruction in the classroom. The Literacy coach will support grades 4 & 5 with implementation of
balanced literacy foundations and support English I/II teachers in the five domains of literacy. A Bilingual/EL instructional coach has also been hired to
support shelted instruction in our bilingual/esl classrooms. She will support teachers planning with the ELPs and support the 5 domains of literacy. A
general education instructional coach has also been hired to work with grades K-5 in all contents. She will work with first year and second year teachers as
well as teachers in need of support. Her focus will be on classroom management, lesson design and implementation, data dissagregation, and assessment
planning. Also, an Instructional Technology Coach will be hired as well to assist teachers with technology in the classroom. All Instructional Coaches will
be under the direction of the District's Curriculum Team to ensure appropriate and effective services are provided.

District Processes & Programs
District Processes & Programs Summary

As of the most recent TAPR report, the district employed 307 teachers and 46.4 instructional support staff, 31 administrators,
HISD recognizes the need to hire quality instructional staff as well as supplemental support staff as needed in an attempt to provided timely and appropriate
interventions to enhance opportunites for students academic performance. Processes and procedures are in place to recruit, support and retain highly
effective personnel. The district utilizes job fairs; teacher job networks and partnerships with alternative certification programs to recruit the most qualified
person for all positions. HISD focuses on the retention of highly effective staff as well as the necessary staff professional development that enhances their
knowledge and skills that assist them in providing quality instruction to ensure students academic success.

Special Programs are provided for students with disabilities, dyslexic students, gifted students, ESL students, students who need academic and behavior
interventions and homeless students. The federal,state and/or local funded positions support classroom teachers' efforts to build a strong foundation of
academic skills for students who are at greatest risk of not meeting rigorous local and state standards as well as attaining academic success. (e.g.
Interventionists on each campus provide targeted, intensive, specialized, accelerated small group instructions in collaboration with the classroom teacher to
qualifying students.) HISD provides advance placement, dual credit and UIL Academic Activities as well as Career and Technical education, PRS in an
attempt to enhance students opportunities for academic success.
Also, the district focuses on retention and staff development.The Curriculum Team and District/Campus Administration analyze data from state/local
assessment and teacher input to identify trends and determine instructional needs to address with all staff for professional development.

At-risk Category -: 1,2,3,4,10 most eligibility criteria identified
HISD has adopted the thirteen criteria delineated in Texas Education Code §29.081 and redefined by Senate Bill 702 as the sole criteria used in identifying
students who are eligible to receive intensive, supplemental services Special Program Information. District has written policies and procedures to identify
the following: ? Students who are at risk of dropping out of school under state criteria ? How students are entered into the SCE program ? How students are
exited from the SCE program

In addition to the strategies listed Hereford ISD draws on other fund sources to support services to address the needs of students identified in at-risk
situations. In particular, local and special grants support our goals to provide our teaching staff with the most current effective staff development, a required
component of State Compensatory Education As well, other special state and federal funds support additional initiatives designed to support all students,
especially those in greatest need. Use of funds might also include High-quality preschool or full day kndergarten; evidence based strategies to accerlerate
the acquisition of content knowledge for English language learners; equipment, materials, and training needed to complie and analyze data to monitor
progress, alert the school to struggling students and drive decision mamking; software for students to access digital learning materials and collaborate with
peers as well as related training for educators.

HISD elementary students that transition from one campus to another during the school year are subject to differences regarding horizontal alignment within
schools due to administration and staff beliefs. It is the district expectation that campuses utlize the TeksResource Year at Glance. HISD administers
Common Based Assessments to monitor alignment of the curriculum in an attempt to ensure timely and appropriate delivery of instruction.

Accomplishments: "Hereford ISD implemented Balanced Literacy Kindergarten through Second grade and our students are showing exponential growth in
reading. It was implemented in grade 3-5 in 2019-2020. Ensure compliance of implementation through walkthroughs in classes.

Elementary, HJH and HPA implementation of Response to Intervention (RTI) with fidelity is allowing our students to grow through remediation and
acceleration. Hereford ISD students experienced many celebrations in UIL Academic and Athletic activities as well as individual growth.

Hereford Proud Ambassdor Program- allowed parents, staff, community and business to come together to learn and understand the way the school district
runs business. Surveys indicated: Best thing about the program: " It provided a great communication channel to school issues known to the general
community; the information gained as well as seeing the passion of the administration and their heart for the shcool and the facilities; and exposure to the
community about our needs.

Instructional Technology: Currently this department has influence over district wide professional development, classroom technology, internet filtering,
district and campus websites, Chromebooks (1:1 program), computer aided programs, and more. We are looking into improving all the way around. Needs
pointed out: technology needs to work to implement devices not just more but newer devices; need an instructor to help train on how to use
technology/maintain.

HISD has one PNP Campus that participates in Title I, parents are informed of the service through letters, teacher/parent contact as well as students'
progress. Principal/Staff surveys indicates students have experienced improvement in their reading and mathematics skills, as well as attained academic
achievement standards; staff is supportive and finds value of the Ttile I tutorial service; features of the tutorial program enjoyed the most by students were:
getting more hlep fro reading and math; learning more easily because there are fewer students in the class; strongest feature of the Title I tutorial progra;
extra support for improving reading , or math.

PNP Parent survey: Most agree that the title I tutorial program helped their child; are doing better in math and reading since attending the tutorial service;
Overall most are satisfied with the tutorial program.

HISD recognizes the importance of partnerships with schools/parents/community. While involvement is prevalent with school events and activites, there is
a lack of parent involvement with academic concerns.

HISD DLT determined that communication and guidance is key to the effectiveness of all family and community involvement. Through the use of internal
and external electronic and printed communication tools (Facebook, website, School Messenger, Family Access, remin101 etc.) stakeholders receive
information and provide critical feedback. With frequent interaction between schools, families, and communities, students are more likely to be
academically successful.

Supplemental Communication Support resources such as School Messenger/calendar/informational literature are purchased to communicate with all
stakeholders.

Hereford ISD recognizes the importance of a safe environment to ensure student and staff safety so HISD is in the process of implementing securtiy systems
at all campuses to provide a safe learning environment for all in an attempt to ensure students academic success.

Facilities:

The passing of the bond will assist to support the need for improvements to our facilities. The following are areas of need: Upgrades to all facilities -lacking
things such as heating and air; leaking roofs; remodeling of the atheletic facilities; safe and secure learning enviroment etc... not conducive to learning.
Need to enhance to a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. Still an ongoing operation but quite a bit of data has been complied that will allow
administration to work on future efforts to upgrade all facilities. Maintenance schedules and long range facility plans are inn place for future improvements.
Maintenance has advanced in creating various schedules that touch on Maintenance, Grounds and Custodial duties in an attempt to ensure upgrades and
repairs on a set timelines.

Hereford Proud Ambassadors allowed parents, staff, community and business to come together to learn and understand the way the school district runs
business. Surveys indicated: Best thing about the program: " It provided a great communication channel to school issues known to the general community;
the information gained as well as seeing the passion of the administration and their heart for the shcool and the facilities; and exposure to the community
about our needs.

Strategies for implementing effective parent and family engagement include in-person forums and meetings, regular electronic communication, and ongoing
survey research with all levels of stakeholders.

Problem Statements Identifying Perceptions Needs

Problem Statement 1: The issue continues to be that while parents are involved with students in events and activities they need to be more involved
academically, i.e. addressing academic concerns. Root Cause: Although parent training has been provided there is still a lack of knowledge and skills on
how to get involved. Time constraint appears to be an issue as well..
