District Announces New Texas Education Agency FIRST Report Rating

During the December Regular Meeting, the district held a Public Hearing on the new Texas Education Agency FIRST Report Rating. West ISD is proud to report that our Business and Finance Office received an A (98) Superior Achievement rating for last year. The state's school financial accountability rating system, known as the School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST), ensures that Texas public schools are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and the maximum budget allocations provided for direct instructional purposes.

The district is most grateful to JoAnna Macik, Cindy Webre, and Jenny Tacker for all their hard work and sound financial stewardship. This 98 score may be the highest ever recorded for West ISD and is an improvement from the last A (94) achieved two years ago.
