Required Postings

The district prohibits bullying on school property, at school-sponsored or school-related activities, or in any vehicle operated by the district.  Bullying may be verbal or written expression or expression through electronic means, or physical conduct.  Bullying is not tolerated by the district and any student or parent of a student who believes that the student or another student has experienced bullying or that a student has engaged in bullying is encouraged to immediately report the incident.  Retaliation against anyone involved in the complaint process is a violation of district policy and is prohibited.

If a student believes that he or she has experienced bullying or has witnessed bullying of another student, it is important for the student or parent to notify a teacher, school counselor, principal, or another district employee as soon as possible to obtain assistance and intervention. The administration will investigate any allegations of bullying or other related misconduct. The district will also provide notice to the parent of the alleged victim and the parent of the student alleged to have engaged in bullying. A student may anonymously report an alleged incident of bullying by using the district StopIt App or using the anonymous email on the district website under the counselor page.

More information about the district’s bullying policy can be found online in our Board Policy Manual, student handbook, or the campus administration office.

In order for an independent school district to obtain these flexibilities, districts must seek designation as a “District of Innovation.” Below you will find the current DOI Plan for Lone Oak ISD which began in April 2017 and will end in April 2022.

Title I Part A

Parent Family Engagement Policy

Lone Oak ISD believes that parents (including those who are economically disadvantaged, have disabilities, have limited English, have limited literacy, are of any racial or ethnic background, or are parents of migratory children) are partners with teachers and other staff in the education of their children.  Lone Oak ISD believes that parent involvement and empowerment are essential to student achievement and academic growth at all levels throughout the school district. 

Lone Oak ISD believes that a student’s academic achievement requires that parents have an understanding of curriculum, academic achievement standards, assessments, and district/school policies and procedures.  Families also need to understand how to monitor their children’s progress and work together with all campus staff.  Lone Oak ISD will offer parent meetings designed to gain input and inform parents about academic expectations.  Lone Oak Elementary  will host an annual parent information meeting for parents to receive information about the campus and Title I programs.  Lone Oak ISD believes that this information leads to increased parent involvement, communication, and academic achievement of all students. 

Lone Oak ISD shall work in collaboration with parents and guardians and shall actively support parents in enhancing parent involvement by: 

• Respecting parents as partners in the education of their children
• Fostering a welcoming and responsive environment for parents. Each campus has one counselor who supports both students and family needs.  Office staff are welcoming and sensitive to the needs of all parents.
• Parents and families will be provided a description and explanation of the curriculum in use at the campus and the forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress when requested • Coordinating efforts to meet the needs of parents through various district and campus community programs 
• Valuing the need for partnership between the school and the community.  The district actively seeks resources to support academic and parent programs at Lone Oak ISD.  Parents will be provided timely information about school programs 
• Establishing and promoting communication as a source of trust and understanding between the school and parents.  This is accomplished through parent-teacher meetings, parent-principal meetings, email, campus/district web pages, phone calls, parent meetings, etc. 

Parents/Guardians are asked and encouraged to be involved in their children’s learning and education by: 

•  Utilizing two-way lines of communication between parents and school staff on the instruction, assessment and achievement and conduct of their children 
• Participating in site-base leadership and decision making teams, PTA, and any other organizations offered by your campus 
• Ensure that your student attends school regularly and on time 
• Encourage your student to do his/her best work 

Lone Oak ISD agrees to implement all of the requirements mandated by the Title I part A and this policy. Consistent with section 1118, the district will work to ensure that the required school level parental involvement policies meet the requirement of section 1118 of the ESEA. 

Academic Performance

These Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR) include a wide range of information on the performance of students in each school and district in Texas every year. Performance is shown separated by student groups, including ethnicity and socioeconomic status. The report also provides extensive information on school and district staff, programs, and student demographics. 

Academic Performance Reports

Accountability

Accountability Reports are based on performance on state standardized tests, graduation rates, and college, career, and military readiness outcomes. The rating examines student achievement, school progress, and whether districts and campuses are closing achievement gaps among various student groups. 

Accountability Reports

Campus Report Cards

Campus Report cards are produced annually and combine accountability ratings, data from the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPS), and financial information to give a broad view of campus performance. 

Campus Report Cards

Federal Report Cards

The U.S. Department of Education requires each state to publish an annual report card with specific district and campus level data. 

Federal Report Cards

House Bill 1495 from the 80th Legislature requires a school district to make available the Landowner's Bill of Rights prepared by the Attorney General. 

 

The purpose of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was first passed by Congress in 1965 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. The most recent reauthorization of this legislation is the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). The primary function of NCLB is to close the achievement gap between groups of students by requiring greater accountability and offering increased flexibility and choice. The NCLB Act affects almost every school district and charter school in the state.

The Division of NCLB Program Coordination at TEA is responsible for the state-level administration and implementation of federal education programs under the No Child Left Behind Act and the Ed-Flex Partnership program.

NCLB Report Cards

Section 1111(h)(2) of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires each local education agency (LEA) that receives Title I, Part A funding to disseminate specific LEA and campus level data to 1) all LEA campuses, 2) parents of all enrolled students, and 3) make the information widely available through public means such as posting on the internet, distribution to the media, or distribution through public agencies.

The Agency has developed the Texas NCLB Report Card, an internet-based system to generate the campus, LEA, and state-level reports that meet the specific federal reporting requirement. This system is located at the following link: https://rptsvr1.tea.texas.gov/perfreport/frc/2016/srch.html

Highly Qualified Teachers

Section 1119 of The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) focuses on improving teacher quality at the local level.

Teachers who meet these requirements are considered “highly qualified.”

General Information

Teachers are required to be highly qualified if they are the Teacher of Record providing direct instruction to students in any core academic subject area, including English, reading or language arts, mathematics, science, foreign languages (languages other than English), civics and government, economics, arts, history, and geography.

Highly qualified teachers must:

• Hold at least a bachelor’s degree;
