Community-Based Accountability System

PILLARS

CISD is implementing a Community-Based Accountability System (CBAS) because our school district, staff and Board of Trustees strongly believe the district is accountable to our community for measuring our success in educating our students in a variety of ways.

So our parents, community members, and educators can partner to identify meaningful measures of success. CBAS recognizes the multiple and diverse ways students learn and demonstrate progress. It supports efforts to innovate and customize learning experiences based upon the needs and interests of our learners and community.

Students, parents, teachers and employees, district taxpayers, business and organizational partners, and more.

A survey powered by Panorama is given two times a school year to students, employees, and families.

The State Accountability (A-F) system relies primarily on standardized tests (STAAR) results and students’ performance on a single day of testing. CBAS relies on accountability based on seven pillars of quantitative and qualitative data.

Student Learning and Progress, Student Readiness, Engaged and Well-Rounded Students, Community Engagement and Partnerships, Professional Learning and Quality Staff, Systems and Operations, and Safety and Well-Being of Students.
