The Comptroller's Texas School Performance Review team, assisted by Austin-based Gibson Consulting Group, spent seven months studying the Comal ISD, at the request of the district's superintendent and Board of Trustees.

CISD's student population has grown by 33 percent since 1993-94 and its staff has increased by 54 percent. Three new elementary schools and one high school are planned.
