Board Notes: June 22, 2010
Article Date: June 22, 2010
Trustees learned that Garland ISD is once again projected as a TEA Recognized district at Tuesday night’s board meeting in the Harris Hill Administration Building.
Although rankings are not official until later this summer, the numbers processed by GISD’s Planning, Research and Development Department indicate that a Recognized rating is likely. This would make the second-consecutive year GISD achieved the state’s second-highest honor.
Board members also adjusted their summer work calendar, canceling the July 13 work session. The group will next meet July 27 at the regularly scheduled board meeting.
