Fellow Texans:

I am pleased to present this report on the progress of the San Angelo Independent School District (SAISD) 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 112 recommendations that collectively could save SAISD taxpayers a net of more than $38.7 million by 2005-06. The review also noted a number of SAISD’s exemplary programs and model services provided by district administrators, teachers and staff.

In December 2002, we returned to check on how well the district’s leadership put these proposals into practice. Over the last year, SAISD has implemented, or is in the process of implementing, 103 of the proposals, or 92 percent. The district has saved a net of more than $8.6 million to date, and expects those savings to grow to more than $42.1 million over five years.

This report is available on my Web site at www.window.state.tx.us/tspr/sanangelopr/.

Thanks for all that you do for Texas.


Sincerely,
[signed]
Carole Keeton Strayhorn
Texas Comptroller
