The Killeen Independent School District board of trustees took a look at the most recent Texas Academic Performance Report for the school district at Tuesdayâs meeting.
The district did not receive an accountability rating in the 2019 / 2020 report, along with all other school districts in the state, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the district also received the âNeeds Assistanceâ rating for its special education department, the same rating it received in its last report.
The districtâs report also included 2019âs STAAR scores, as students did not take the standardized test last year because of COVID-19.
The special education label comes from many different indicators within the district and can largely be improved through better student performance within the special education department.

Days of logistical planning, supply delivery and site preparation led to prepping, boxing and finally distributing thousands of iPads to Killeen ISDâs 50-plus campuses.
âThe teamwork is amazing,â said Technology Support Manager Michelle Greene as school district technology staff members labored to prep 16,000 iPads for delivery when school resumed for staff Tuesday.
She explained the distribution process Thursday, Dec. 3 while all around the Nolan Middle School gym at the now-closed school, a broad range of technology employees worked in teams to unpack and repack the needed devices.
Like so much else in 2020, the process, Greene said, required changing several of the districtâs regular systems from supply receiving to distribution, warehousing and inventory control.
