Accountability Unlocked: What Every School Board Member Needs to Know About D/F Ratings, Oversight, and School Improvement
Need a clear, accessible overview of Texas’ A–F system, how D/F ratings accumulate, and why upcoming 2025 guidance matters? We unpack the “three Ds rule,” “three Fs rule,” and when accountability clocks pause or reset. Trustees also learn how intervention stages — from LIPs to Turnaround Plans — connect to the Effective Schools Framework. The session shows how strong governance drives improvement, prevents escalation, and supports long-term student success.

8-9 p.m.
HR Hot Topics
Districts reach out to TASB HR Services for assistance and guidance with a wide variety of HR issues, but each year, trends emerge. This session will cover many of the “hot topics” districts have inquired about in the past few months and will be presented in a scenario-based format. Board members will have the opportunity to learn from an HR Services consultant how to manage and respond to timely HR issues in this engaging and interactive session.
