1/7. 🌄 #RRISD1family! I'm gonna explain student outcome goals like y'all are 5 just to clarify what #RRISD1CrimeFamily's #HateSlate is *pretending* not to get in their FB 💩post claiming to care about EVERY student 👇.

(@RoundRockISD Educators - feel free to ✅️ my work. 😉)
2/7. When you're trying to make data-informed decisions to fix a problem you have to start with a baseline. See how the number steps up 2-4% every year? That's growth ON TOP OF the expectation of a full year's worth of academic progress. Otherwise the gap would stay = or widen.
3/7. It's a different set of students every year b/c another group of 3rd graders replaces the last. Between 2024 & 2025 the goal jumps up by 10% 👇. That's because 2025 is the 1st group of 3rd graders exclusively exposed to the "science of reading" from Kinder ➡️ 3rd grade.
4/7. So, when @DonZimmermanATX's #HateSlate claim they'll immediately set 70% goals for "EVERY student" starting in 2023, that means students already experiencing barriers to success would be taught using "drill & kill" methods to even stand a chance of closing a 30%+ gap by EOY.
5/7. Folks, this would be TRAUMATIC for many of them. 😢Even IF it were achievable in that time-frame (doubtful), it would come at a huge cost to STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH. A lot of teachers would walk, not because they're lazy, but because they ❤️ our kids & don't want to hurt them!
6/7 #RRISD's goals are designed to close gaps while not overstressing students so they become lifelong learners instead of learning to hate school (inevitably ⬆️'g dropout rates/⬇️'g CCMR). #PubEd has already learned these lesson & *sometimes* we should listen to our teachers. 😗
7/7. P.S. #JailhouseJill - high performing RGV districts use culturally responsive teaching, SEL & among best in state at providing meals to students & families. 🤔 I wonder what @DonZimmermanATX (@BoozehoundMD) will say about your new 3-point platform. 😏 texastribune.org/2022/09/05/rio…

1/8. A video was posted on Facebook by #RRISD1CrimeFamily late yesterday continuing to defame @RoundRockISD's superintendent with the endorsement of @jeremywstory & full support of @DonZimmermanATX & his #HateSlate. #RRISD1family
2/8. This despite all investigations being closed by TCSO & @teainfo w/ no findings of wrongdoing. The only thing that remains is an opinion from an "independent investigator" who is known to be neither independent nor qualified as an investigator.
3/8. It is almost certain that @jeremywstory orchestrated this entire mess in #RRISD w/ help from bad actors across the state, including known xenophobes, high 💵 players from @TexasScorecard, & other PAC-funders looking to privatize #TxEd in the upcoming legislative session.

1/6. Current campaign treasurer of #RRISD1CrimeFamily Lisa Lusby claims that @DonZimmermanATX's #HateSlate doesn't know any billionaires, & the #HateSlate's association with an anti-#PubEd agenda seeking to destroy @RoundRockISD is just a fairy tale. 🤔 #RRISD1Family ImageImage
2/6. Let's dig into her claim a little, shall we? Mind you, I can only scratch the surface here because the final numbers aren't in yet. Meet Jim Moyer, Fairmont developer & primary donor of pro-Ed privatizer Conservative Action for Texas PAC. texastribune.org/2022/05/19/tex… Image
3/6. Here's some more fascinating info about this Hemphill billionaire who's suddenly so interested in a local school district over 250 miles away from him. 🤷‍♀️google.com/amp/s/www.12ne…

1/9. 👇 @antraasa is talking about former Deputy Commissioner of @teainfo, Dr. Jeff Cottrill. In 2021, it was pretty widely known in #TxEd circles that Cottrill wanted to exit the agency & was looking for a superintendent position in Central Texas. #RRISD1family
2/9. If his name looks familiar to @RoundRockISD folks, that's because around 9/2021 Trustee #DanielleWeston had started cc'ing/bcc'ing Deputy Commissioner Cottrill on numerous internal emails (including several protected from disclosure as @tuxedo_jack has previously chronicled)
3/9. In 10/2021 the #RRISD school board received notice from Cottrill that @teainfo was assigning a monitor to our district & attributing this decision to a complaint filed by @RoundRockISD's former staff attorney against former board member & president Chad Chadwell in 2019.

REMINDER: 👇 All this is still true! Dr. Ann Dixon's $20K+ "report" to the @RoundRockISD BoTs was based exclusively on unverified & unsworn nonsense from an att'y who's only ethical obligation outside a courtroom is to their client, not truth or transparency. #rrisd1family 1/
The most generous explanation for the conclusions in @teainfo investigator Dr. Dixon's ridiculously overpriced "report" is that she lacks any basic understanding of the Tex. Rules of Civil Procedure & was unqualified for the scope of work for which she was contracted. 2/
The 2nd most generous is that her understanding of the job was producing a report that would support reaching a separation agreement between @RoundRockISD & our newly hired Superintendent to bring peace to the district & simultaneously avoid a wrongful termination lawsuit. 3/

HAPPENING NOW: @RoundRockISD's BoT student outcomes workshop. Watch live here: roundrockisd.org/about-rrisd/bo…
#rrisd1family
Coach Marsha is a badass at managing the room. Kudos to her bc it ain't an easy one... And in an an ultimate pot-meet-kettle moment, Danielle just lectured President Weir about using "rhetoric" for saying the goals should support % growth without breaking individual students.
Reading Academies is only required by state for K-3 and #RRISD is (thankfully) implementing it for K-5. Not all schools have been through the training yet. Amy suggests adding 10% points for groups that need most focus. @ryansmithblog will update goals based on new assumption.

Anyone know whether the @RoundRockISD BoT meeting still starts at 5:30 p.m. or 7:00 p.m.? There appear to be conflicting notices on this. #rrisd1family
The meeting has now started. The board members are saying the pledge. They will be taking public comments next. There's a strange echo on the feed that will make this meeting difficult to listen to virtually if it isn't corrected.
First speaker is Snehal the President of the Counsel of PTAs. She's hear to welcome the new trustees.
