Brazosport ISD has once again earned the highest possible rating in the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST), receiving a perfect score of 100 and once again a Superior Achievement “A” rating.
The recognition reflects BISD’s continued commitment to responsible financial management, transparency and accountability. Since the state launched the FIRST rating system in 2001, Brazosport ISD has consistently earned the Superior Achievement designation.
The FIRST rating evaluates school districts on a series of financial indicators designed to measure the quality of their financial management practices. The evaluation considers areas such as administrative cost expenditures, the accuracy of financial reporting to TEA, compliance with debt obligations, long-term debt ratios and measures of financial solvency.
Superintendent Danny Massey said the rating demonstrates the importance of strong financial stewardship across the district. “A perfect score in the state’s financial integrity rating system is a meaningful accomplishment. It reflects the careful work of our Board of Trustees, financial team and district leaders to make responsible decisions with the resources entrusted to us. Sound financial management helps ensure we can continue investing in our students and moving forward with our mission to graduate each student future-ready.”
BISD’s perfect FIRST score continues a long-standing record of financial excellence and reinforces the district’s commitment to efficiency, accountability and responsible stewardship of community resources.
