Lone Star Governance
Lone Star Governance (LSG) is an optional, first-of-its-kind training initiative.
Founded on research, LSG is a continuous-improvement model for governing teams—boards in collaboration with their superintendents—who choose to focus intensely on only one primary objective: Improving student outcomes.
The purpose of Lone Star Governance is to provide coaching and support through a continuous-improvement framework for school governing teams that choose and commit to intensively focusing on improving student outcomes. Lone Star Governance accomplishes this intense focus through tailored coaching aligned to the five pillars of the Texas Framework for School Board Development: Vision, Accountability, Structure, Advocacy, and Unity. In addition to the primary focus on improving student outcomes, Lone Star Governance provides systems for governing legal and fiscal responsibilities.
EFWMA Student Outcome Goals
Lone Star Governance (LSG) promotes self-evaluation through the board's quarterly progress trackers. It recommends that the school board publicly display an updated record of the student outcome goals and goal progress measures.
Student Outcome Goals (SOGs) and Goal Progress Measures (GPMs)
The table below represents the SOGs that are being monitored. All SOGs are SMART goals, which lead to structure and guidance as we seek to implement what is best to accomplish student progress.
