FOLLETT ISD will hold a public meeting
at 6:00 PM, November 19th, 2026,
in the FOLLETT ISD BOARD ROOM,

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss FOLLETT ISD’s rating
on the state’s financial accountability system.
The state's school financial accountability rating system, known as the School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST), ensures that Texas public schools are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and that they improve these practices. The system is designed to encourage Texas public schools to better manage their financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes.
