Wichita Falls ISD board reviews academic progress reports from four schools
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — The Wichita Falls ISD Board of Trustees heard from four campuses about their academic progress just before STAAR testing began.
Superintendent Dr. Donny Lee said the overall theme the board heard was 'making small incremental improvements.'

Principals from Hirschi, Southern Hills, Fain, and Booker T. Washington brought their reports to board members, showing how students have progressed since taking an assessment at the beginning of the year.
The reports give board members a projection of where students will be when they take the STAAR test.
'We try to educate the whole child and try to really ensure that all of our kids are growing. Every year we focus on growth. What does that mean? That means if they were reading on the third-grade level last year, we want to read on a fourth-grade level this year. Same with math. So we want constant improvement,' Lee said.
STAAR testing begins April 8 for districts across the state.
Lee knows educators are entering crunch time, so he will provide the support they need before testing.
