This Lone Star Governance event will allow the Texans Can Academies Board to share and discuss the significant strides they have made in improving student outcomes, guided by the Lone Star Governance (LSG) program from the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

· TCA's Student Outcome Goals: Insights into how the Board has worked with stakeholders to set ambitious yet achievable goals that reflect the aspirations of both students and the community.

· TCA's Progress Monitoring and Accountability: An overview of the transparent systems the Board has established to monitor progress toward these goals and ensure accountability at every level.

· Advocacy and Community Engagement: How the Board has fostered meaningful two-way communication between its parents, students, teachers, principals, and community partners to support these initiatives.

The Texans Can Academies Board of Trustees invites all parents, students, staff, and community members to join this important discussion.
