Good Report for Comfort ISD – Boerne Star Article

October 26th, 2009 categories: Comfort Community News, Views & Faces, Places to Go & Things to Do

Comfort ISD received a good report from the TEA. Here’s an excerpt from the Boerne Star, October 23, 2009 issue, entitled “Comfort Schools Earn Top Rankings”:

Rain didn’t stop Comfort High School seniors from lighting the homecoming bonfire Wednesday.

By Candace Velvin – Managing Editor

Published: Friday, October 23, 2009 12:50 AM CDT

Comfort ISD continues to earn top rankings from the Texas Education Agency.

The district’s “superior achievement” rating in the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) program was presented in a public hearing as part of Monday night’s meeting of the CISD board of trustees.

“Superior achievement” is the highest ranking in the system, Superintendent John Chapman said.

Chapman also said 100 percent of the district’s teachers and paraprofessionals met the standards for the highly qualified teacher report. He praised all CISD educators “for going the extra mile in order to obtain the appropriate certifications and training hours needed to meet the demands of the state as well as the needs of each individual learner.”

According to the TEA, “highly qualified” means the teacher has obtained full Texas teacher certification, including appropriate special education certification for special education teachers; holds a minimum of a bachelor’s degree; and has demonstrated subject matter competency in each of the academic subjects in which the teacher teaches. The requirement that all teachers be highly qualified applies to all public elementary or secondary school teachers employed by a local educational agency who teach a core academic subject area.

Chapman presented CISD excellence awards to Sue Eggers, third grade teacher; Melissa Dunbar, middle school English and language arts teacher; Brad Kinney, high school biology teacher; Margie Hall, business manager; and Keith Vadnais, employee in the operations department.
