Waller ISD District-Site Based Decision Making Committee First School Year Meeting

Waller ISD held a District-Site Based Decision Making Committee Meeting on Wednesday, September 9th, in the Waller ISD Administration Building. Richard McReavy, Waller ISD Superintendent, started off the meeting by giving a warm welcome and district highlights.  McReavy discussed how Waller ISD had its best academic achievement school year in 2008-2009 school year.  McReavy provided a bond construction overview and discussed the highlights of the largest event in Waller ISD’s history, the Stadium Grand Opening.  McReavy also presented the 2009-2010 Waller ISD Budget Highlights and emphasized the appreciation of the faculty, staff, and administrators.  He said, “We only hire the best of people to work with our students.”

Danny Twardowski, Asst. Superintendent for Administration, discussed the purpose and importance of the committee meeting.   The committee, who involves parents, employees, and community members, helps drive the decisions of the school district. 

Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Joy Kanyo, presented and requested approval for the allocation and spending for the Waller ISD Title Program from the committee.  Kanyo also asked for support to apply for a Safe Route to School Grant.  The grant will fund sidewalks for Waller Junior High and I.T. Holleman Elementary to assist the 175 walkers who live within the 2 mile radius to travel to and from their school.  The two campuses qualify for the grant since they are located within the City of Waller City Limits. 

Closing the meeting, each school Principal presented a brief Campus Improvement Summary for the 2009-2010 school year.  The eight principals discussed the strengths of their school, areas for improvement, and student learning needs.
