The FIRST rating demonstrates the quality of AISD’s financial management and reporting system. The district’s rating is based on an analysis of data reported for the 2011-2012 school year. The Texas Education Agency reviewed all areas of the district’s financial management according to 20 indicators.

The purpose of the financial accountability rating system is to ensure that school districts and open-enrollment charter schools are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices. The system is designed to encourage Texas public schools to manage their financial resources better in order to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes.
