Trustees Call Special Meeting To Consider Hiring Recommendations

Trustees have called a special meeting for Thursday, July 10 to consider personnel recommendations. School officials said employees have until the 45th day before the first day of school to resign their positions. The special meeting will allow the CISD Administration the opportunity to approve hirings before the 45-day deadline so the applicants can then resign in their home districts without penalty. The meeting will begin at 1:30 p.m. in the Cabinet Meeting Room of the Carroll ISD Administration Center, 3051 Dove Road in Grapevine. A meeting agenda can be found at www.southlakecarroll.edu/brdagenda.htm.

The next regular meeting of the Carroll School Board is Monday, July 14. Open session begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Cabinet Meeting Room of the CISD Administration Center. A complete agenda can be found on the District's website later this week.

Back To School Information Available

Carroll ISD's Back to School website includes all the important information parents and students need to be ready for the first day of school. Information includes New Student Registrations, Meet the Teacher events, Curriculum Nights, School Supply Lists and more. Additional information will be posted to the Back to School page as August approaches.

New For 2008-2009
Parents should keep in mind that all preschool through fourth-grade students will dismiss early the first five days of the school year rather than six like in the past. Trustees reduced the number of early dismissal days by one in an effort to address parent concerns and input. The early dismissal days are used for important baseline reading and math assessments.

CISD Trustees have eliminated the student activity fee for athletes in grades 7-12. No longer will families have to pay to have their children participate in athletic programs. No changes were made to the existing parking and bus transportation fees.

School supply lists have been changed this year. In an effort to accommodate parent requests, CISD has streamlined the process to individualize lists for each school and grade level. This will help eliminate the purchase of uniform items at campuses that did not use everything in the supply packs. A copy of each school and grade level supply list is available on the Back-To-School web link.
