4.F. Public meeting on FIRST Rating for 2022-2023
Description:
Created in 2001 by the 77th Texas Legislature, the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) is designed to encourage public schools to improve their management of financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes.
The FIRST ratings are calculated using twenty (20) financial indicators for school districts and twenty-one, such as administrative cost expenditures; the accuracy of a district’s or charter school’s financial information submitted to TEA; and any financial vulnerabilities or material weaknesses in internal controls as determined by an external auditor. Ratings for 2022-2023 are based on annual financial reports provided to TEA by districts and charter schools for the 2022 fiscal year. The financial accountability rating system requires TEA to review the audited financial reports from all districts and charter schools. A school district or charter school is assigned one of four letter grades (A, B, C, or F), as well as a coinciding financial management rating (Superior Achievement, Above Standard Achievement, Meets Standard Achievement, or Substandard Achievement). |
