Members of the Texas High Performance Schools Consortium (THPSC) are making great progress in the development of a new student centered accountability system for Texas public schools. We are most certainly in the infant stages of a five-year process to present a completely new system, redesigned from the ground up. As I reported in earlier post, there are six sub-committees within the Consortium tasked with specific pieces of the overall design.
In an effort to keep everyone up-to-date on the progress of the Consortium, each district will create a link and dedicated page of information for THPSC News. That link at White Oak ISD is;

The page includes a letter of introduction from the superintendent, an overview of the Consortium and FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) designed to provide more insight into the Consortium and the work of the group. As our work continues, I will update the information on this site in an effort to keep all of you as well informed as possible.
The month of March is shaping up to be very important to our work. We are very close to the introduction of a piece of legislation that will lay out the needs of the Consortium to be successful in the design of the new system.
Thank you for your interest and support of White Oak ISD and the Texas High Performance Schools Consortium. “Innovate-Create-Succeed”
