# BISD Board of Trustees Workshop - October 19, 2026

The Belton ISD Board of Trustees held a workshop on October 19, 2026, focused on professional learning communities (PLCs). District teaching and learning leaders described weekly teacher collaboration around priority standards, common assessments, reviewing student performance, and planning interventions or enrichment. Board members viewed elementary and middle-school examples and discussed how PLCs support new and experienced teachers, including special education and specialized-subject staff.

Staff reported that 87% of observed teams were at developing or stronger levels on the PLC rubric, and that the district observed 24 PLCs in the first month against a target of at least 10 per month. Planned improvement work includes strengthening student-level data responses, lesson internalization and rehearsal, and use of a shared digital collaborative team tool, with teacher feedback informing updates. The discussion included allocating support and protecting collaboration time, but no specific spending, procurement, contract, vendor, or budget action was identified.
