Fact Checker

Carroll ISD's employee resignation rate continues to remain below the Texas statewide average. From August 2025 through July 2026, Carroll ISD recorded 207 total resignations, representing approximately 18.8% of the district's workforce of roughly 1,100 employees. Of those, 92 were teachers, accounting for approximately 8.4% of the district's workforce. The District’s teacher resignation rate consistently ranks lower than the state average.

This year's data should also be viewed in the context of significant organizational change. During this period, Carroll ISD announced the closure of Durham Intermediate School, making the 2025-2026 school year the campus's final year of operation. Despite the uncertainty that naturally accompanies a campus closure and employee reassignments, Carroll ISD's resignation rate remained below state averages.

Approximately 7% of district employees who left during this period were teachers leaving for reasons other than retirement. Of those teachers, less than one percent reported leaving due to dissatisfaction with their position. The overwhelming majority cited reasons such as retirement, relocation, career advancement, family circumstances, or other personal factors.

Carroll ISD continues to attract and retain outstanding teachers and staff, and we are grateful for their commitment to our students, our community, and the Dragon tradition of excellence. We look forward to beginning the upcoming school year with an incredible staff and continuing to provide the exceptional educational experience for which Carroll ISD is known.

Carroll ISD is aware of concerns regarding an Off-Campus Physical Activities (OCPA) provider and is currently reviewing the situation. The provider in question was utilized by one student during the 2022-23 school year at a parent’s request and, to our knowledge, has not been used by any other CISD students since that time.

At present, participation in OCPA programs has been driven by parent request. When parents request that an outside activity be considered for PE credit, the District has historically allowed that decision to remain at the parent’s discretion.

The following statement can be seen on the OCPA registration packet when students apply for PE credit with an outside entity:

"I understand that the District has no control over the operations or premises of my child’s particular activity. I further understand that my child will not be under the supervision of a District employee but will be under the supervision of a representative of the assigned activity while participating in the activity."

Our Board of Trustees is reviewing internal processes related to OCPA activity approvals and will evaluate how the District should proceed moving forward. The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority, and we take all concerns seriously.

On May 20, 2026, some students and staff across Carroll ISD received a phishing email from the address yuhsin.lee@southlakecarroll.edu with the subject line “Items for Sale.”

The email was not legitimate and may have attempted to direct recipients to suspicious links or collect personal information.

At this time, there is no indication that district systems have been compromised. The district technology team identified the issue, took immediate action, and continues monitoring systems.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:

• Do not reply to the message.
• Do not click any links or open attachments associated with the email.
• Delete the email immediately.
• Carroll ISD will never request passwords or sensitive personal information through email.

If a student or staff member interacted with the message or shared information, they should contact the district technology department immediately at help@southlakecarroll.edu.
