Public comment policy left in place
Impact to ratings Changes to accountability ratings will be applied retroactively to data for the class of 2022 and preliminary data from the district shows PfISD will no longer have any A-rated high schools. This comes as data for the 2022-23 school year shows students improving academically.

Pflugerville ISD trustees decided Aug. 17 not to change its policy guiding the delivery of public comments to the board. In a nutshell The decision came after a review by the policy committee over the summer. The existing policy allows the public to make comments not related to the posted agenda at workshops but requires comments at meetings to be related to items on the agenda. District staff recommended updating the policy to eliminate comment limitations to agenda items from the board’s regular meetings and maintained for special meetings with non-agenda items deferred. Some community members asked trustees to adopt the recommended policy.

Pflugerville ISD joins TEA accountability lawsuit Pflugerville ISD officials voted Aug. 17 to join several other Texas school districts in a lawsuit against the Texas Education Agency. What’s happening? The PfISD board of trustees signed on to a law- suit against the TEA over changes to calculations
for accountability ratings. In September, new accountability ratings for Texas schools will be released based on adjusted criteria including a new threshold for college, career and military readiness scores, raising it from 60% to 88% to earn an A rating. The rating change is expected to negatively impact many Texas high schools. What they’re saying “It’s time for folks to hear that the fairness of the accountability system is in question right now,” PfISD Superintendent Doug Killian said.
