Electricity, Water & Gas Usage

The Texas Government Code, Section 2265.001(b), requires public school districts and charter schools to record electricity, water, and natural gas consumption in an electronic repository and report this information on a publicly accessible website with an interface intended for ease of navigation.

Additionally, the Texas Education Code, Section 44.902, requires public schools to establish long-range energy plans to reduce districts’ annual electric consumption by 5.0 percent beginning with the 2008 state fiscal year, and to consume electricity in subsequent fiscal years in accordance with districts’ energy plans.

Public schools report their aggregate utility expenditures to the Texas Education Agency's (TEA) Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS)

School First Reports

The primary goal of School FIRST is to achieve quality performance in the management of school districts’ financial resources, a goal made more significant due to the complexity of accounting associated with Texas’ school finance system. School FIRST holds school districts accountable for the quality of their financial management practices. The rating system also discloses the quality of local management and decision-making processes that impact the allocation of financial resources in Texas public schools.

Aledo ISD received an “A” rating for “Superior Achievement” under Texas’ School FIRST financial accountability rating system. The “Superior Achievement” rating is the state’s highest, demonstrating the quality of Aledo ISD’s financial management and reporting systems.

The District has received the highest rating for the past 16 years.
