Question 9 & 10 – Scenario
continued
6.Approximately 10%
of the resident student population transfer to other school
districts. These transfers are nearly all White students from affluent
families.
7.The primary
concern of the community groups is low property taxes. The tax
rate is $1.14.
After
assessing this data, Mr. Purdey decided that his primary goals will be to
encourage real stakeholder participation in campus and district
planning, to educate the teachers about TEKS/TAKS in order to improve
test performance, and to be in compliance with certification
requirements by the end of his first school year. Mr. Purdey also set
the goal to become a recognized district in two years.
