Commissioner Felipe T. Alanis, Ph.D.Fellow Texans:
I am pleased to present this report on the progress of the Water Valley Independent School District (WVISD) 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 44 recommendations that collectively could save WVISD taxpayers a net of $235,251 by 2005-06. The review also noted a number of WVISD's exemplary programs and model services.
In December 2002, we returned to check on the district's progress implementing the recommendations. Over the last year, WVISD has implemented, or is in the process of implementing, 37 of the proposals, or 84 percent. The district has saved a net of $31,522 to date and expects those savings to grow to $54,929 over five years.
This report is available on my Web site at www.window.state.tx.us/tspr/watervalleypr/.
Thanks for all that you do for Texas.
Sincerely,
Carole Keeton Strayhorn
