Members of the Texas Legislature
Commissioner James E. NelsonFellow Texans:
I am pleased to present this report on the progress of the Elgin Independent School District (EISD) in implementing my Texas School Performance Review (TSPR) recommendations.
In September 2000, I released the results of my review of the district's operations. This review offered 41 recommendations that could save EISD taxpayers a net of more than $1.1 million by 2004-05. The review also noted a number of EISD's exemplary programs and model services provided by district administrators, teachers, and staff.
After a little more than one year, we returned to check on how well the district's leadership put these proposals into practice. Over the last year and a half, EISD has implemented, or is in the process of implementing, 38 of the proposals, or 92 percent. The district has saved $56,500 to date and estimates net savings over five years to reach $422,500.
This report is available on my Web site at www.window.state.tx.us/tspr/elginpr/.
Thanks for all that you do for Texas.
Sincerely,
Carole Keeton Rylander
Texas Comptroller
