Mount Vernon ISD earned a 4 1/2 rating out of a possible five points from the Texas Comptroller’s Financial Allocation Study for Texas (FAST) last week. FAST is a new system that looks at both TAKS score improvement and district expenditures. Only 43 of the state’s more than 1,200 schools received the highest rating.
