Introduction
The KISD District Improvement plan is prepared in accordance with requirements of Chapter 11, Subchapter F, of the Texas Education Code, specifically §11.251 and §11.252. These requirements are also contained in KISD policies BQ(Legal) and BQA(Legal).
Each school district shall have a district improvement plan that is developed, evaluated, and revised annually, in accordance with district policy, by the Superintendent with the assistance of the district-level committee. The purpose of the district improvement plan is to guide district and campus staff in the improvement of student performance for all student groups in order to attain state standards in respect to academic excellence indicators.
The DIP is required by statute to include the following components:
Comprehensive needs assessment Measurable district performance objectives Strategies for improvement of student performance Strategies for providing secondary students with information on higher education preparation and opportunities Description of resources needed to implement identified strategies Description of staff responsible accomplishing of each strategy Timelines for implementation of each strategy Formative evaluation criteria
In developing the DIP, the KISD District Advisory Committee (DAC) provides input, as well as several district offices and departments.
In addition to meeting statutory requirements, the DIP aligns directly with the Board & Superintendent’s Goals. Further, each Campus Improvement Plan aligns directly with the DIP.

ADDENDUM
Kingsville ISD District Improvement Plan Page 51
According to Section 1304 (d) of federal statute, NCLB P.L. 107-110, the Migrant Education Program is required to give Priority for Services to migrant children who:
(1) are failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet the States challenging academic content and achievement standards; AND
(2) whose education has been interrupted during the regular school year. In Texas, the NGS report provides current listing of migrant students at a campus coded as Priority for Services (PFS). The report is delivered to all campuses as required by TEA on a monthly basis to facilitate the information to the administrators and to assure that MEP services are first targeting those identified students as Priority for Services. The report contains enrollments from the current regular school year and assessment data from previous regular school year or the current school year.
The State’s criteria used by NGS to identify PFS students include:
§ Students who have had their education interrupted during the previous or current regular school year; AND
§ Students who are in grades 3-12 or identified as Un-Graded (UG) or Out of School (OS) and have failed one or more sections of the TAKS, or who are designated as Absent, Exempt, Not Tested or Not Scored;
§ Students who are in grades K-2 and have been designated as Limited English Proficient (LEP) in the Student Designation section of the NGS Supplemental Program Component or who have been retained, or are over-age for their current grade level.

The Kingsville Independent School District Migrant Education Program staff will use ‘Priority for Services’ reports to give priority placements to these students in Migrant Education Program activities.
Migrant Education Program staff will ensure that the NGS Priority for Services reports are generated on a monthly basis. PFS reports are sent to campus to ensure awareness of PFS students. The Federal Programs Director will provide ongoing comprehensive needs assessment to ensure that migrant students are given priority of services if they are failing or most at risk of failing to meet the states academic content standards and student achievement standards. Regular meetings are held with migrant staff to review progress and make any adjustments necessary. It is the goal of KISD Migrant Education Program to ensure the success of our priority for service students.
