ECISD 2023 accountability ratings
The ratings award Ector County ISD an overall grade of C for the 2022-23 school year, with six (6) schools earning an A, and twelve (12) earning a B.
"We are glad to finally receive our official accountability ratings for 2022-23 school year," ECISD Superintendent of Schools Dr. Keeley Boyer said in a news release. "While the official letter grades are new, the data behind them are not. Our team recognized the areas of need then and has been working each year to improve our students' achievement."
In the 2022-23 school year, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) introduced several changes to create a more rigorous accountability system. Among those changes were weighted proportionality (where larger campuses make up a larger percentage of a district's grade, i.e. a middle school of 1,000 students counts more heavily than an elementary school with 700 students), and a dramatic increase in the College Career Military Readiness standards (in 2022 ECISD's CCMR score was a 65 and earned an A, in 2023 ECISD's CCMR score increased to 73 yet was graded a C).
It is interesting to note, ECISD's district score in 2022 was 82 and the district received its first overall B rating. Under the new accountability system implemented in 2023, ECISD's district score was a 73 earning a C. Using TEA's "What if" calculations, applying the 2023 standards to 2022, ECISD's district score would have been a 72 (rather than an 82), indicating ECISD students overall performance improved slightly from 2022 to 2023 under the new accountability system, the release said.
"We have work to do," said Dr. Boyer. "We have seen growth in many areas over the past five years, but to be the great school district we aspire to be, we must continue to improve.
"While these ratings are important for us, we are right now in the midst of 2025 STAAR testing. Our teachers and students have worked hard all year to be successful and we look forward to seeing these test results in early summer and, ultimately, the 2025 accountability ratings later in the summer."
In 2023, 121 Texas school districts across the state, including Ector County ISD, filed for an injunction against TEA's accountability system changes which were sent to districts after the statutory deadline for doing so. A Travis County judge ruled in favor of granting the injunction, however, last month the 15th Court of Appeals overturned that injunction and ruled the ratings should be released. In 2024, a second lawsuit was filed against TEA, of which ECISD was not part. A final ruling on the 2024 accountability ratings has not yet been issued.

Number of people saved from burning Indonesian ferry rises to 575, rescuers say
MANADO, Indonesia — Rescuers in Indonesia responding to a ferry that caught fire and killed at least three people said Monday they had rescued 575 people — far more than originally reported — and that two people were still missing. The KM Barcelona V-A caught fire Sunday in the sea off North Sulawesi province, and initial reports said five people were dead and about 280 rescued, based on the ship's manifest. However, by Monday afternoon officials updated the death toll to three, with two missing, and said many more people were aboard than were listed, and that 575 of them were rescued. 7 The KM Barcelona V-A caught fire Sunday in the sea off North Sulawesi province, and initial reports said five people were dead and about 280 rescued.

Indonesia is an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands where ferries are a common method of travel. Disasters occur regularly, with weak safety enforcement often blamed. A speedboat carrying 18 people capsized during a storm July 14, and all its occupants were found rescued by the next day. Earlier in the month, a ferry sank near Indonesia's resort island of Bali, leaving at least 19 dead and 16 others missing. A two-week search operation involved more than 600 rescuers, three navy ships, 15 boats, a helicopter and divers.

Plans submitted for new homes at waste facility
Plans have been submitted to redevelop a waste facility build up to 131 homes. The Shorts Waste and Recycling Facility is situated off St George's Lane in Ascot, Berkshire, and a project for its transformation was approved in December 2020. Earlier this year, plans for the site were submitted by Shorts Group, the landowners and Nicholas King Homes. The scheme has received support from some agents, as well as opposition from residents, with one saying the development would make the site "a concrete jungle". Th proposals are currently being considered by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM). The project would involve building 127 homes, with 22% of the development designated as affordable. A planning agent from Boyer wrote that it would "transform a brownfield site to provide much needed high quality homes and landscaped open space". However, neighbours and Sunninghill & Ascot Parish Council opposed the project. "This is a total over development of the total site and making it a concrete jungle," a resident wrote. Planning agent Duncan Gibson, who was appointed by a neighbouring landowner, argued the design of the homes would be "too regimented". The parish councillors highlighted that 95 trees would be felled, and that the detailed application diverges too much from the approval in 2020. They also argued 30% of the homes should be designated affordable. On Wednesday, a fire erupted at the facility at about 19:30 BST. Shorts Group, which runs the waste centre, stated in a post: "Whilst we do not know the cause, we suspect that the fire was started from an exploded lithium battery in our waste pile."
