  • A public hearing on the 2019-2020 Texas Academic Performance Report is slated to be conducted by Jason Evans, who oversees SSISD State & Federal Programs, during the 6 p.m. meeting. The TAPR is essentially the school district report card and is always one year behind as Texas Education Agency gathers and reviews material for the report. Typically, the hearing focuses on District Accreditation, Campus Performance Objectives, information on violent or criminal incidents, the performance of previous year graduates in their first year of college based on the state board’s report. This year’s report may be a bit different as state tests were halted after spring break 2020.
