School Spending 2000 - Signs of Fiscal Health Spring Branch was also able to give teachers a pay increase and lower the district's tax rate at the same time, and shortly thereafter, more than 80 percent of voters approved the district's school construction bond. Instead, SES compares each district's performance with four benchmarks: (1) the district itself over time; (2) a group of similar socioeconomic districts in the state; (3) a group of school districts in the same county or geographic vicinity; and (4) the state as a whole. For example, a particular school district's level of per-student operational expenditures would be compared with the average expenditure level of all other demographically similar school districts across the state. www.asbj.com /schoolspending/cox.html

Gaining The Arts Advantage: School District Profiles and Case Studies The strongest elements that the Spring Branch school district has succeeded in maintaining are overall depth in all the arts disciplines, an orchestra program that is a model for Texas, and the Arts Partners aesthetic education program. In Spring Branch as elsewhere in Texas, it is up to the district to determine what course requirements need to be in place to insure student access to and high achievement in all fine arts disciplines. Because music teachers in the Spring Branch district see hundreds of students no more than twice a week, they decided all students' progress could be formally - and realistically - assessed every year. www.pcah.gov /gaa/profiles/spring.html

Click2Houston.com - Education - Houston High School Closed Because Of Danger Stratford High School, 14555 Fern, where a $14 million renovation project had just begun, has been deemed unusable by Spring Branch Independent School District officials because of the problem.

The Culture of Accountability Although policy exists to facilitate the daily operations in educational institutions, the bottom line for the Spring Branch Independent School District, in particular, is in increasing and sustaining student academic achievement. According to Dr. Hal Guthrie, retired superintendent of Spring Branch ISD, "Policy is the most unused, unrecognized power lever in any organization." Policymaking in school districts should be the outgrowth of community interests as interpreted and adjudicated by the superintendent and the board of education. Of course Spring Branch ISD may have peripheral goals and interests, but the end-results of how this school district is assessed is through student performance results. www.educationreview.homestead.com /2003CultureofAccountability.html
