Is Your Campus Ready for Its School IPM Inspection?

Charter schools now follow the same Texas school IPM rules as ISDs, and TDA inspections run through August 2027. Book a free 45-minute checkup and get a one-page Inspection Ready report.

New for charter schools. Beginning September 1, 2026, open-enrollment charter schools must follow the same Texas school IPM rules as independent school districts, and TDA plans to contact each charter district to schedule a routine inspection between September 2026 and August 2027 (Texas A&M AgriLife).

Your Report

Know Where You Stand, Campus by Campus

Each campus gets a one-page Inspection Ready report your IPM Coordinator can act on right away, with the missing items listed first.

The checkup shows gaps against the rules. It isn't an official inspection and can't guarantee an inspection result, but it tells you exactly what to fix first.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the checkup really free?

Yes. The School IPM Checkup is free and there is no obligation to buy anything afterward.

Does it guarantee we pass the TDA inspection?

No. It shows where your campus stands against the rules so you can fix gaps before the inspector arrives. It isn't an official inspection.

Can Cavanto be our IPM Coordinator?

The coordinator must be appointed by your district and is responsible for the district's program. We support the coordinator with licensed service, records and reports.

We have several campuses. How does that work?

We schedule a checkup for each campus and give you a report for each one, so you can see which campuses need attention first.

Do you work with ISDs too?

Yes. The same rules have applied to independent school districts for years, and the checkup works the same way.

What happens after the checkup?

If you want help closing the gaps, we propose licensed IPM service and set up a records binder for the inspector.
