COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT

The Lamesa Independent School District conducted comprehensive needs assessments based on Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) data,

including performance on the STAAR/STAAR, and TELPAS assessments, as well as attendance rates. There was coordination of federal, state, and local

services and programs, integration with the schoolwide program, and coordination and integration of Title I Part A services with other educational services such as

Head Start and other preschool programs, summer school programs, special education programs, migratory children, neglected or delinquent youth, homeless

children, and immigrant children in order to increase program effectiveness. In addition, for general education and for special programs, the data were

disaggregated for all ethnicities, economically disadvantaged, and LEP students. Individual student weaknesses were determined by disaggregating

STAAR/STAAR/TELPAS data by subject area and the domains and skills within each area.

The needs assessment also consisted of identifying needs for all subject areas, grade levels, and each special program considering the following:

● Curriculum ● Staff Development ● Instruction ● School Organization ● Staffing ● Budgeting In addition, data from Special Program Annual Reports were also considered. District and Campus Improvement Plans were reviewed and revised

based on the needs identified through the student data and surveys.

All strategies are consistent with the 10 components of a Schoolwide program as listed under Title I, Part A (No Child Left Behind). Those components

are: (1) comprehensive needs assessment of the entire school based on information that includes the achievement of children; (2) schoolwide reform strategies;

(3) instruction by highly qualified staff; (4) opportunities for professional development; (5) strategies for attracting highly qualified teachers; (6) strategies to

increase parental involvement; (7) plans for assisting preschool children in the transition from early childhood programs; (8) measures to include teachers in the

decisions regarding the use of assessments; (9) provision of effective, timely, additional assistance provided to students who experience difficulty mastering the

proficient or advanced levels of academic achievement standards; and (10) coordination of federal, state, and local services and programs and integration with the

schoolwide program.


Goal #1 Academic: Meet Student Achievement Standards. Lamesa ISD is undertaking a standards-based approached to teaching and learning that ties directly to the state’s Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills and accompanying Student Expectations (TEKS/SEs). Fifteen percent of student grades (in core areas) will be comprised of standards-based assessments each six weeks throughout the school year. LISD’s Curriculum Manual (can be found on the LISD website) outlines the district’s philosophy and expectations for classroom instruction in core curriculum areas (ELAR/Math/Science/Social Studies). Staff Development days (9) have been imbedded into the 2013-14 calendar (can be found on the LISD website) to facilitate vertical and horizontal alignment of standards-based lessons. Objectives

1. All student groups, including English Language Learners, CTE students, Special Education Students, At-Risk, and homeless, in LISD will perform at or above state averages on local and state assessments.

2. Create and Maintain a Safe and Orderly Environment (Student, Classroom, and Campus) 3. Move High School out of an Academically Unacceptable rating for Math 4. Move Middle School (8th grade) out of an Academically Unacceptable rating for Science 5. Meet AYP for campuses: Math at High School; Math and Reading at Middle School; Reading at North Elementary 6. Meet AYP for district: Math and Reading
