TCAPS Board of Education Curriculum Committee 7.28.26

The TCAPS Board of Education Curriculum Committee met on July 28, 2026, to review updates on the district's secondary school strategic plan and course catalog for the 2026-2027 school year. No changes were made to the course catalog at this time. The meeting focused extensively on academic achievement data, particularly literacy and math proficiency among middle and high school students, with discussions on intervention programs and evidence-based curricula to support struggling students. The committee also reviewed metrics related to student well-being, including chronic absenteeism, participation in school activities, suspension rates, and postsecondary readiness. Notably, the district is piloting reading and math intervention programs, expanding mental health support staff, and tracking advanced placement exam participation and success, with over 2,100 exams taken and a 37% student participation rate. While no specific procurement actions such as contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, the committee acknowledged the allocation of risk funding to support intervention programs and highlighted the importance of continued resource investment to sustain these initiatives. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of staff efforts and no public comments were made.
