TEXARKANA, Texas -- Pleasant Grove Independent School District has received the highest financial rating possible from the Texas Education Agency.
Chief Finance Officer Derick Sibley presented the district's Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas rating during the regular Board of Trustees meeting Thursday.
"This rating system allows taxpayers to see how our district is making responsible financial choices that are positively impacting our students," Sibley said.
FIRST is based on an analysis of each district's financial data for the 2021 fiscal year. It is used to determine how well schools use their financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct student instruction.
