John Catanzaro, tennis parent, expressed that the tennis community feels that they

importance of tennis in the Galveston community and would like to see the program
thought of as equal to the other sports. In addition, the safety of the players should be
a priority and the addition of lighting at the courts would help this matter.
4) Superintendent's Report
Dr. Kelli Moulton presented to the Board an updated version of the Student Outcome
Goal progress measures. The original progress measure were measurable only one
time each year and therefore limited the ability to measure the Districts progress
over time. TEA suggested that the District revise the progress measure to allow
different assessments to measure the progress. In addition, the State has since
changed some of the metrics under which school districts’ are measured in the TAPR
system.
A) Superintendent Constraints: C1: The Superintendent shall not allow any campuses to forego implementation
the District’s initiatives to meet Student Progress Measures.

ability to make sure that all campuses in the District will not forego the District
initiatives that the Board has set.
Constraint Progress Measures: 1.1: All district elementary campuses will have 56% percent or greater of third
grade students reading on grade level by 2020. (Baseline established in the 2016-
2017 school year)
Dr. Kelli Moulton will make sure that all campuses are initiating a beginning,
middle, and end of year assessment to accurately measure student progress. She
11
will make sure that all campus follow the assessment timelines, but can be unique
to meet the needs of their students.
1.2 Ninety percent GISD graduates will leave high school college ready, career
ready and military ready by 2020.
The set point for this progress measure will be changed from 90% to 51.2%. This
is due to the metric change by the State, changing from CCR to CCMR reporting
on the TAPR.
Board Constraints:
C1: The Board shall not allow membership to request information from staff
without considering time required to prepare data.
Board Constraint Progress Measures: 1.1: Cabinet and Assistant to the Superintendent will spend no more than 10% of
their work schedule attending to Board requests, including preparation for board
