The latest news from Dripping Springs ISD
Dripping Springs ISD has earned the highest rating of “A: Superior Achievement” and a numerical score of 98 on the Texas FIRST (Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas) report for the 2023-24 rating year.
DSISD’s numerical score increased by eight points from the 2022-23 rating year. The district has received the highest rating all but one year.
The FIRST rating, which the Texas Education Agency has issued to public school districts since 1999, measures the quality of school districts’ financial management and reporting. The report ensures that Texas public schools are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and that they improve those practices. The system is designed to encourage Texas public schools to better manage their financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes.
The rating is based on 20 indicators that include results of the annual external audit, debt management, fund balance, and administrative cost ratio, among other financial indicators. The recent designation is based on financial information from the 2022-23 fiscal year.
Dripping Springs ISD is proud to present a community education event on the opioid/fentanyl crisis.
