Yorktown’s elementary and secondary principals reported the progress and goals of their students at the July 15 regular meeting of the Yorktown ISD School Board. The board also evaluated goals with their Lone Star Governance coach and heard a report on the proposed budget, which will be workshopped and approved in August.
The board has been working with Lone Star Governance (LSG) Coach Debbie Saxton to improve their effectiveness. The Lone Star Governance program is an initiative of the Texas Education Agency (TEA) that helps governing bodies improve.
Each meeting Saxton reviews specific goals such as the percentage of meeting time focused on student improvement, visions and goals, systems and processes, progress and accountability, advocacy and engagement, and synergy and teamwork. As she goes through the meeting’s focus items, board members grade themselves as a group on the goal.
