Two BISD Schools Make Honor Roll

Two BISD elementary schools, Paredes and Ortiz, have been named to the 2011 Texas Business & Education Coalition (TBEC) Honor Roll. This is the most prestigious and demanding academic award that a Texas public school can receive. This year, 253 schools made the list representing less than 4% of all public schools in Texas. The Honor Roll recognizes schools that have demonstrated three years of consistent, high performance in all subjects serving similar student populations. TBEC Honor Roll schools have the highest percentage of students performing at the state’s most rigorous standard-commended-in every subject. This year’s standards are the most demanding in the organization’s history. TBEC will recognize all Honor Roll schools on Friday, December 2 at an awards reception and dinner in Dallas. A series of seminars will also enable educators to learn about some exciting new programs.
