Hays CISD - Greater San Marcos Partnership
Austin Chamber of Commerce in Conjunction with Buda Economic Development Corporation, Buda Area Chamber of Commerce and Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce Presents: Hays CISD About the Austin Chamber Education Progress Report The Education Progress Report, now in its seventh year of publication, is developed and issued annually by the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce’s Education Progress Report Task Force. Eleven Central Texas school districts and their local Chambers of Commerce and Economic Development Boards participated this year. The report focuses on high school graduation, college and career readiness, and college enrollment rates which are closely tied to the workforce talent and in turn, economic development in the region. It also serves as a tool for the community to track and assess school district performance trends. Additional indicators in the report give a comprehensive view of how the district is performing overall and gives further insight to predicting success for a future cohort of students leading up to high school. For more information, contact Austin Chamber of Commerce Senior Vice President for Education and Talent Development Drew Scheberle at 512.322.5628 or [email protected] The Education Progress Reports can be downloaded at www.austinchamber.com/edureports Progress 2011 Education Progress Report Do you know How Many Graduates Were Ready For The Workplace?

In the nearly two decades since our Class of 2012 was born, Central Texas’ economy has changed significantly. If we look into a crystal ball, we only see change accelerating: more information to process, more complex content, constant collaboration...all on fewer resources. One in eight Central Texas jobs are in high tech: for example, medical devices, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, mobile applications, creative media, network or cloud computing. These jobs represent more than 25% of our region’s payroll. Paradoxically, some of these industries displace more traditional industries or shrink costs, thereby reducing other types of jobs. We embrace the future or technology will leave us behind. Business owners grow their companies here in Central Texas because they can find quality public education for their employees’ children, quality talent, a vibrant culture, a supportive environment for start-up companies and a lower cost to do business. These same companies are also courted by other cities, states and countries with similar advantages, and some with different, and sometimes, better amenities. The Austin Chamber of Commerce, along with regional Chambers and economic development corporations, are committed to helping local companies compete in national and global markets and grow and create jobs for our people. We are also committed to helping our young people prepare for Twenty First Century jobs. We also actively recruit companies like Apple and Hanger Orthopedic to move and grow jobs here. Site selectors, those who advise Bill Stotesbery Task Force Chair 2 companies on where to locate divisions, operations and headquarters, rank talent opportunities based on: • Bachelor, associate and certificate completers, especially in STEM fields; • High school graduate direct enrollment rates in post-secondary education; • High school graduate college and/or highperformance workplace readiness rates; and • High school graduation rates. This printed report focuses on the last three items. This summer, Central Texas School Trustees will adopt FY13 budgets with per pupil cuts of up to 8.7% compared to two school years ago. Leaders face a deepening challenge: build support for those compensation and management strategies which prepare an increasing percentage of students for post-secondary education and the high performance workplace while also providing the academic, athletic, technical and fine arts offerings of a well-rounded education. To send a clear message to the community, district superintendents and Trustees should set specific, aggressive goals, and justifying shifting resources and stressing transparency and accountability. In turn, the business community should support their accomplishments. In preparing this report, school districts collaborated with their local business leadership, celebrating progress and targeting areas which need improvement. These districts have chosen to make tough, bold decisions. The recommendations in this report are developed through meaningful discussions with the Buda Economic Development Corporation, Buda Area Chamber of Commerce, Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce and the Austin Chamber of Commerce. Our hope is this report will spur further discussions and actions within your community to help Hays CISD in areas in need of improvement and in their efforts to educate our future workforce. Shaun Cranston Task Force Vice Chair Austin Chamber of Commerce >>> Hays CISD 2011 Education PROGRESS report >>> www.austinchamber.com/edureports ABOUT HAYS CISD PROGRESS OVERVIEW Hays Consolidated Independent School District is a growing school system located in north Central Hays County, with 23 campuses located in the Kyle and Buda communities. The district, where student enrollment has increased by about 30 percent in the past several years, spans more than 221 square miles and draws more than 15,000 students. Hays CISD offers a dual-language magnet program that instructs students in English and Spanish at two elementary schools; a STEM magnet program (STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics) for 4th- and 5th-grade students at two elementary schools, Advanced Placement courses and the STEM-focused Project Lead the Way designation at the secondary campuses. Both Lehman and Hays high schools offer a rigorous core curriculum, athletic programs and award-winning music and theater programs, which are accompanied by a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center. Lehman High School features a mariachi band and health science, culinary arts and Navy JROTC programs. Hays High School features a nationally renowned debate team, a state award winning band program and a Marine JROTC program. District leaders, in an effort to boost Hays CISD’s graduation and direct-to-college enrollment rates, provide flexible learning hours for students who are behind, as well as courses that result in high school and college credit through a strengthened partnership with Austin Community College. These efforts, along with Project Hope, a coordinated effort for dropout prevention, have brought about increases in the Hays CISD graduation rate. Recognizing the impact of good health and nutrition on the well being of all members of the school community, Hays CISD has made fitness and nutrition a priority for both students and staff by instituting the Superintendent’s Fitness Challenge for district employees and by making salad bars available in school cafeterias. Partnerships with area businesses, including the Chambers of Commerce and Economic Development Corporations in Kyle and Buda, encourage students to become life-long learners and extraordinary citizens. The Chambers have lent support to various district events and sit on campus leadership teams and the district’s education foundation, among other organizations. The Central Texas economy depends in part on whether large percentages of high school graduates are ready for, enroll directly in and complete higher education. Hays CISD have about half of its student population on free and reduced meals and nearly one-sixth are learning English as a second language. One of the most challenging issues faced by a majority of Hays CISD families is access to personal transportation. Administrators in the district set up a task force to address this issue. Another major initiative of Superintendent Lyon is to introduce more health and wellness programs in the district as this also affects student achievement. Hays CISD is among the fastest-growing school districts in Texas. Its enrollment has doubled to 15,300. Two-thirds of Hays CISD students are Hispanic. Rapid growth in students with Hispanic background has increased the district’s need for Hispanic business mentors with Spanish speaking ability. The annual Dia De Los Muertos Mariachi Extravaganza also serves to celebrate the culture of this growing community. Through conservative budgeting in FY12 the district does not expect any cuts in the next fiscal year. Hays CISD was one of the few districts last year to set over 60 specific goals covering various subjects, grades and student groups that are measured in this report. The district either met or exceeded about 26 percent of those goals. In February, the U.S. Department of Justice approved changes in Hays CISD School Board single-member district boundaries and necessary polling location adjustments. Every ten years, following the national Census, the school district is required to re-balance the School Board single-member district populations so that they are each roughly about the same size. These changes will affect the May 2012 School Board election. Some residents will be in new single-member districts. Additionally, the Buda City Hall is no longer an early voting or election day location since the city has moved its elections to November. The new voting location on election day for residents in single-member district 3 is Chapa Middle School. All voters can still cast ballots during the early voting period at the Hays CISD Central Office and Kyle City Hall.

Doug Ragsdale, Eric John and Holly Smith Raymond have all signed up to run for the at-large position currently held by Patti Wood, who is not seeking another term. Task Force Recommends That Hays CISD Continues To: Evaluate existing strategies to increase the percentage of college- and career-ready graduates and enhance those strategies in an effort to accelerate gains. Adopt a plan which will include direct-to-college enrollment. Support existing strategies for increasing the percentage of students who graduate high school in four years and enhance the strategies in an effort to accelerate gains. Create a summary of and publicize the district’s annual graduation, direct-tocollege and college-and-career readiness performance goals, as well as on-going efforts for continued improvement in those areas. Direct sufficient resources to further improve graduation, direct-to-college and college-and-career readiness efforts. Set as their goal that 80 percent of the district’s English Language Learners will pass the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills or make adequate progress on the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment, a goal that far exceeds the state requirement for “recognized” status. Look to innovative compensation approaches, including strategic compensation, as a way to help accelerate performance gains in graduation, direct-to-college enrollment, and college and career readiness. www.austinchamber.com/edureports >>> Hays CISD 2011 Education PROGRESS report >>> Austin Chamber of Commerce 3 How Many Graduates Enrolled in College? 54% The chart below shows the percentage of high school graduates that enrolled in community colleges or four-year, degree-granting institutions, in Texas or outside of the state, by the fall following graduation. Source: Ray Marshall Center for the Study of Human Resources, The University of Texas at Austin Percentage of Graduates Enrolled in College Directly after High School Percentage of Graduates Enrolled in College after High School of students, or approximately 405 students, in the Class of 2010 directly enroll in college, by the fall after graduation. Research indicates that students who enroll directly in college after high school are more likely to complete their studies. Hays CISD did largely shield programmatic efforts to improve direct-to-college enrollment in the tough budget environment and now needs to look at approaches to accelerate progress. 100 percentage of graduates 80 Percentage of Graduates Enrolled in College after High School 60 100 54 55 51 40 percentage of graduates 80 20 60 0 All40Students 51 55 2008 51 2009 55 54 All Students 2010 54 20 0 HOW MANY GRADUATES WERE FOR COLLEGE? 2008 2009 READY2010 All Students Students are considered ready for success for higher education or the high-performance workplace if they meet or exceed the performance standards below, which are based on state college readiness indicators. Students who do not meet these standards must take remedial classes, if they enroll in Texas public colleges or universities. 49% of students in the Class of 2010 were college-and career-ready in both English language arts and math, an increase of 6% compared to the previous year. The steady increases can be attributed to early intervention by district staff and administrators in identifying and helping students recognize the importance of these tests as early as 10th grade through Preliminary SAT tests administered thoughout the district as well as new curriculum implementation.

High school graduation is achieved when a student earns a high school diploma and passes exit tests – English language arts, math, science and social studies – within four years of first entering the ninth grade. GED recipients and students who need longer are not counted as graduates under this definition. The definition of a drop-out changed in the 2005-2006 school year. As such, the 2006-2009 rates are not directly comparable to each other because not all data used to prepare the graduation rates for each of those years were prepared under a uniform methodology. However, data released for the Class of 2010 will be comparable to data for the Class of 2009.

Hays CISD had anticipated a rise in graduation rates due to implementation of a new curriculum and the increase in 2010 is a positive sign. Though Hispanic and Economically Disadvantaged students continue to lag behind White students, the district’s concerted effort through Project Hope aims to improve the district’s high school completion rate through dropout prevention efforts.

The achievement gap between White students and other student groups has narrowed considerably. Note: Dramatic increases and decreases seen throughout this report for the African American student group can be attributed to their small number as they account for only 4% of the total student population. www.austinchamber.com/edureports >>> Hays CISD 2011 Education PROGRESS report >>> Austin Chamber of Commerce 5 HOW WELL CAN THEY WRITE? 69% of all high school juniors demonstrated college level readiness in writing, an increase of 11%, compared to the previous year. This can be attributed to a focus on writing and an increase in writing workshops within English Language Arts classes in Hays CISD. The chart below shows the percentage of high school juniors who scored a zero, one, two, three or four on the written composition component of the graduation English language arts TAKS. A student passes with a score of two or higher and demonstrates college/career readiness in writing with a score of three or higher. Source: TAKS Reports.
