Commissioner Felipe T. Alanis, Ph.D.Fellow Texans:
I am pleased to present this report on the progress of the Christoval Independent School District (CISD) in implementing my Texas School Performance Review (TSPR) recommendations.
In August 2001, I released the results of my review of the district's operations. This review offered 43 recommendations that collectively could save CISD taxpayers a net of $291,733 by 2005-06. The review also noted a number of CISD's exemplary programs and model services provided by district administrators, teachers, and staff.
In December 2002, we returned to check on the district's progress implementing recommendations. Over the last year, CISD has implemented, or is in the process of implementing, 42 of the recommendations, or nearly 98 percent. The district has saved a net of $41,825 to date and expects those savings to grow to $174,202 over five years.
This report is available on my Web site at www.window.state.tx.us/tspr/christovalpr/.
Thanks for all that you do for Texas.
Sincerely,
Carole Keeton Strayhorn
