TEA Releases FIRST Ratings
This week, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) released final district and charter school ratings under the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST).
Within two months, school districts must announce and hold a public meeting to distribute a financial management report that explains the district's rating and its performance under each of FIRST's 22 indicators for the current and prior year.
All told, only 11 of the state's 1,030 school districts received a substandard rating while 20 of the state's 206 charter schools received a substandard rating.
A letter detailing the FIRST system rules and public meeting and posting requirements may be found here.
