Carroll ISD
Carroll ISD received a “superior” rating in financial accountability from the School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas. According to CISD's financial accountability report, a district can receive four possible ratings from FIRST – superior, above standard, meets standard and substandard achievement. A district receives a superior rating only if it meets 90 to 100 points from its evaluation period. Based on its 2017-2018 data, Carroll ISD earned 100 out of 100 possible points, receiving the highest possible rating from the report.
Scott Wrehe, CISD Assistant Superintendent for Financial Services, says a few of the quantifiers included making timely payments to the Teachers Retirement System and the Texas Workforce Commission, receiving a clean audit from an external independent auditor, having a .15% decrease in the student-to-staff ratio over three years and a 292 student increase in enrollment.
“Those are all of the indicators,” Scott says to the CISD Board of Trustees. “We passed every single one. We received 10 points on all of them.
The Board of Trustees approved the 2018-2019 superior FIRST financial accountability rating at their Nov. 18 board meeting at the Carroll ISD Administration Center. Carroll ISD’s full financial accountability report can be reviewed on the Texas Education Agency’s website.
