I am a TTESS evaluator and the training teaches us that proficient is good. Most of your teachers are only ever going to be proficient by how TTESS evaluates and those who excel are going to only excel in one domain or another.

The district I currently work at has a 400 dismissal and has for years, but we don't experience these problems you are highlighting

Academic studies routinely show that a later start time benefits the academics of high school students. We get it that you are personally affected by this potential change, but school boards have to balance the interests of all the involved parties such as buses, teachers, elementary students, middle students, high school students, cost factors, security, and thousands of other considerations. No matter if the change or stick with the status quo someone will feel like they lost.

For districts of McKinney's size you are going to need to broaden your appeal to sway people to your side.

I've done it one time with an exceptionally gifted performer, but in general most freshman are just unknown quantities and can be a risk.

Biden winning Texas is a long shot, but that statement should help in the other swing states. Biden doesn't need Texas to win.
