Clear Creek ISD receives ‘A’ grade for finances Clear Creek ISD received a rating of 90 out of 100 for its finances through the state of Texas based on its fiscal year 2021-22 data, earning a “superior achievement,” officials said. The overview The rating was part of the state’s Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas, or FIRST. Of the 20 indicators, eight are either pass or fail. The remainder are scored and calculated based on how well the district meets that indicator’s requirements. A few other indicators have not been scored in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to district data. Of the district’s 90 points, 25 were automatic and came from indicators that are no longer scored, and five came from officials posting necessary documents online.

Clear Creek ISD’s board of trustees approved at a Dec. 11 workshop a good cause exception to the state’s new House Bill 3, giving officials more time to meet the bill’s personnel and financial requirements. What you need to know The bill creates a number of security requirements for school districts across Texas. Chief among them is one that requires districts to have armed security officers at each of its campuses during school hours. Passed in June, the law allows districts to pass exceptions to the bill if they are unable to meet the requirements, but officials must come up with an alternative plan. CCISD officials have long said they are confident in local police to help meet security needs.
