Dr. Stacy Parker, Chief Financial Officer of Marlin Independent School District
Description:
Join us for an inspiring EdChat featuring Dr. Darryl Henson, Superintendent, and Dr. Stacy Parker, Chief Financial Officer of Marlin Independent School District (ISD). When Dr. Henson took the reins in May 2020, Marlin ISD was in dire straits, failing academically for a decade and enduring over 4,000 days of state intervention. Fast forward to today, and the district has achieved a remarkable transformation, now boasting a “B” rating from the Texas Education Agency (TEA), marking a 30-point increase from its previous score in 2019.
In this session, Dr. Henson will share the strategies and leadership principles that led to this turnaround, focusing on the importance of instructional quality, fostering a culture of excellence, and instilling a mindset of achievement in both students and educators. Discover how a relentless commitment to academic and organizational excellence has changed the narrative for Marlin ISD and brought hope to a community once on the brink of despair.
Key Discussion Points:
•Instructional Quality: How Marlin ISD equipped teachers with the tools necessary for academic and social success.
•Culture of Achievement: The emphasis on students achieving at the highest levels across academics, athletics, and the arts.
•Data-Driven Progress: The district’s approach to continuous assessment and feedback, ensuring students know they are succeeding.
•Community and Pride: Building a renewed sense of pride and belonging in Marlin, Texas, as the district’s performance turned around.
