Monroe County Schools presents 2025–26 TISA accountability report; board approves

Miss Strickland, identified in the transcript and invited by the board to present the item, summarized the district’s 2025–26 TISA (Tennessee Investment in Student Achievement) accountability report and noted state and district targets.

Miss Strickland said the state’s measurable goal remains that 70 percent of third graders be proficient in English language arts on the TCAP test by 2028. She told the board the district had not met its 2025 ELA target but had made progress, had met its math goal, and had exceeded its ready-graduate goal. "We did meet our math goal and we exceeded quite a bit with our ready graduate goal," she said. She also confirmed the district will continue work on ELA and adjust goals and plans for 2026 and beyond.

A board member moved to approve the 2025–26 TISA accountability report, the motion was seconded and the board voted to approve the report. During a brief exchange a board member asked whether the state had changed the third-grade proficiency requirement; Miss Strickland replied that the requirement has not changed.

The board’s approval was procedural (the transcript records a motion, a second and a vote) and no roll-call vote tally or individual votes were recorded in the available transcript.

The district’s presentation placed the TISA report in the context of state requirements and local planning; the board approved the document and the district indicated it will continue work focused on ELA proficiency.
