<\/strong>and 1882 partnerships.<\/p>\nThe institute, housed at TAMUSA, currently has two 1882 campuses in Edgewood ISD and several other partnerships with East Central ISD and South San Antonio ISD.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur organization was built specifically to work with our backyard superintendents and backyard districts,\u201d ISCP CEO Henrietta Mu\u00f1oz told Harlandale school board members when pitching the partnership in September. \u00a0<\/p>\n
By the 2026-27 school year, ISCP will have \u201coperational control\u201d of the Frank M. Tejeda campus to improve student outcomes by offering dual-credit courses through Alamo Colleges District and certification courses through Palo Alto College.<\/p>\n
Mu\u00f1oz said Frank M. Tejeda students tend to be non-traditional students who struggle in regular classrooms.<\/p>\n
Located right next to Loop 410, Frank M. Tejeda serves around 140 students and sits only a few miles from the TAMUSA campus on the South Side. District officials say the school\u2019s small size makes it hard to fund, since the state primarily pays public school based on enrollment and attendance.<\/p>\n
From Frank Tejeda\u2019s 2022 graduating class, only 12.3% enrolled in college and 1% earned an industry-based credential in the first year after leaving high school, according to state data. Postsecondary outcome figures are lower in past years, and most students are chronically absent and economically disadvantaged. <\/p>\n
Using alternative school rating standards, Frank M. Tejeda was rated a \u201cC\u201d campus for the 2024-25 school year.<\/p>\n
Mu\u00f1oz said the state\u2019s school accountability process will remain the same and expects to serve between 150-170 students per year.<\/p>\n
SB 1882 partners also have the power to set a school calendar, make a school open enrollment and hire campus administrators to fit their specific model. Harlandale will keep control of the building and its campus staff.<\/p>\n
Harlandale and ISCP are still in contract negotiations, hammering out remaining details. It\u2019s unclear how long the district and ISCP plan to work together, but 1882 contracts are usually renewed every year unless the outside partner doesn\u2019t improve student outcomes. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe success we\u2019ve seen is growing enrollment and long-term sustainability,\u201d Mu\u00f1oz said about ISCP\u2019s other 1882 schools. \u201cIf ever our work is done here, we\u2019ve left the district in a better place.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harlandale Independent School District is reopening its alternative education high school, Frank M.
