Community and Student Engagement Campus Performance Rating Tool

PURPOSE::

1. To evaluate community and student engagement
2. To showcase where the campuses and districts are excelling and where there is room for improvement (Not all should be exemplary)
3. To tell the story of what is happening on campuses and districts when it’s not a test day
4. To give an opportunity to highlight community values, which are varied across the state and sometimes within a district

TEC§39.0545 Requires:

• Self-evaluation by districts and campuses on eight (8) community and student engagement factors and on one (1) policy compliance factor
• Self-assignment of a rating of exemplary, recognized, acceptable or unacceptable by each district and campus for each of the nine factors
• Self-assignment rating scale:
  1. Exemplary = 80% to 100%
  2. Recognized = 70% to 79%
  3. Acceptable = 60 to 69%
  4. Unacceptable = 59% and below
• Districts to submit ratings to TEA through the PEIMS submission on June 16, 2014 and make publicly available August 8 of each year (2013-14)
