Ralph's Records
An on-air segment introduced Ralph Shaburger (owner/operator) of Ralph’s Records, which the segment said has been in business 44 years. The owner described carrying records, CDs, DVDs, video games and collectibles, and reflected on music’s personal and cultural impact.

Georgios Pizza
Students profiled Georgios Pizza, a family-owned restaurant in downtown Lubbock that takes large orders from local businesses and is known for its large “Texas size” 28-inch pizza. Staff described a busy environment and emphasized service and customer relationships.

Scentsy consultant
A Lubbock resident described starting a direct-sales fragrance business (Scentsy) in 2020 after leaving a previous job, describing social-media-driven sales growth, flexible scheduling for family life and incentives such as travel and mentor awards.

What was said and what wasn’t
The segments were human-interest profiles aimed at showing student reporting and community ties. Broadcast pieces included owner recollections and descriptions of business operations; they did not include financial statements, employment counts or regulatory details. Viewers seeking more specific business information were not provided contact or operating-hour details in the on-air segments.

Why it matters
These profiles connect students with local business owners and provide examples of entrepreneurship, long-running small-business models and the role of retail and restaurants in the community.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Board Meeting - January 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District TV featured short profiles of local business owners and entrepreneurs — Ralph's Records, Georgios Pizza and a Scentsy consultant — highlighting long-running independent retail, family restaurants and home-based small business experiences.","taxTitle","LUBBOCK ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",14236,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6374688,"Students describe months of rehearsals as Lubbock High stages Mary Poppins",113,0,113000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2143513-9ab8958adaaa2815fe16bb37eee675ad&start=0&end=113","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2143513-9ab8958adaaa2815fe16bb37eee675ad/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6374688/Texas/Students-describe-months-of-rehearsals-as-Lubbock-High-stages-Mary-Poppins","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6374688-df88129efd398f724cc1146977fb4faa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771077594&Signature=CqAOB3ipN259CiH8tUxNqdVW1tCDKJgV7umBsyKnlR7abCvGZW58rxsAP-KbPvbTIUMbTK3-zReE0hPYulzEi5GqnpDW5ee~cUouM4-XruqPoWygUxDvZ7XU1-qi~2jqRCLw0yAWvRHwuiltf2m7czbj-GS-DRM-7eu788gYfFXBiIblrRQNtVvVwo90wc-5at8p26s0ErAw8llfH~cvu8WcJ7yyuqS0KLgb7PrxQqQUfzI5vbLv34wKgXEdNIhdnyuQBx8sg1odu2xWBqlk01DA-3QqcW8dm6UG5LXc9WiWPVPI7Xev7BnNNFhopOkMggWpMO1hkSRw2JkF11OI6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Students involved in a school production of Mary Poppins told Lubbock ISD TV that the show has been a months-long effort with repeated rehearsals, Saturday work sessions and after-school rehearsals.

One student said, “We have been working on some Saturdays from, like, 10 to 6, and we have after school rehearsals, like, 3 days a week.” Another performer described the show as “so fun and inviting for every age group” and said the musical is “the classic story of Mary Poppins with a twist.” A first-time student director described learning directing techniques specific to musicals and credited other students for helping with the process: “There were things that I didn't know about directing a musical... but fortunately, these students have been very generous with me.”

Students highlighted technical challenges such as choreography and singing, and said vocal coaches and teachers helped build confidence. They invited the public to attend, saying the production is colorful, high-energy, and accessible for both audiences familiar and unfamiliar with the Mary Poppins story.

The production is part of district school theater activities showcased on Lubbock ISD TV; ticketing information and performance dates were not specified in the broadcast.

Monterey senior Aubrey Noble and other students described visits to Capernaum Studios (Poolville), the Big 12 Network, KWTX, Baylor University’s Film and Digital Media department, and Abilene Christian University’s ACUTV. Students saw LED-wall virtual production, control rooms, studio workflows and live newscast production.

Students and advisers said the tours helped them see career pathways in film, television and broadcast, strengthen their portfolio work, and prepare for competitions. One student reported that seeing professional control rooms and college programs expanded their sense of where media studies could lead.

Student productions and competitions
The broadcast included packages produced by in-class teams that covered short films (horror pieces for the Student Television Network Horror Fest), commercials and public-service announcements. Students described the production process — preproduction scripting, on-location filming, and editing in Adobe Premiere Pro — and said the hands-on experience improved their storytelling and technical skills.

Monterey and district AV staff also highlighted national competition success: a district team won the SkillsUSA national title in video game design, and other students advanced in categories such as extemporaneous speaking and audio/video production.

Why it matters
Student tours of college facilities and exposure to professional workflows are used by district staff and students to demystify career paths in media and expand scholarship and internship prospects. Teachers and students said the experiences also reinforce the creative and technical skills that employers and higher-education programs seek.","Lubbock ISD TV students toured film and broadcast facilities at Capernaum Studios, Big 12 Network, KWTX, Baylor and ACU; students said the trips exposed them to production workflow and career options and contributed to competition-ready work.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6374699,"Lubbock ISD spotlights Career & Technical Education: AgrisTEM, ATC tours, SkillsUSA and Rocket Club",3866,874000,4740000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2143513-9ab8958adaaa2815fe16bb37eee675ad&start=874&end=4740","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2143513-9ab8958adaaa2815fe16bb37eee675ad/thumbnail_874000.jpg","/articles/6374699/Texas/Lubbock-ISD-spotlights-Career-Technical-Education-AgrisTEM-ATC-tours-SkillsUSA-and-Rocket-Club","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6374699-abac65d902e7186efef2318b9cb81410/orig.mp4?Expires=1771077594&Signature=mmnHwQneDog~fiCAq1xQHnZfLkngJqlOQ4cR27SXf5i7T2bZwkOmw1A8q315dYgSnmTW8LLjE2-gmM3mqgv71UZ7n-vKvE~0I2nE5tSqhLUKtFzEhteiHY4Oj~JEGWDogAFAo92tMqhMSUolEWkD3Cr1~eLH8q3UE12~HqLqO9Bn6kndf2-wyMNdRZDEMG4QaJz5NFPuDcW0skE4Lce96JB2W-woGSRilzwo95JuPy8Z7~iiZehtqzZk3GhxGo0CPuWW7zoW-GI0ZDmpR8O-Ie0LuRpMlnJ7pSjzdoLTIbZSsENd7E54L8~zGTf99lRAJ6EPeBPI80LDLZ2txFbZfg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lubbock Independent School District highlighted multiple career and technical education (CTE) programs and community partnerships aimed at connecting students with postsecondary and workforce options.

Amy Baker, executive director of Career and Technical Education, described CTE as a “kindergarten through 12th grade approach” that supports career awareness and industry training. Baker said Lubbock ISD is using CTE Month in February to spotlight alumni outcomes, certifications, internships and the district’s pipeline into local employers and higher education.

AgrisTEM: a campus-based regional program
A program representative described Lubbock ISD’s AgrisTEM center — created from the 2018 bond and located on the Texas Tech University campus — as serving students from all five Lubbock ISD high schools (Coronado, Estacado, Lubbock High, Monterey and Talkington). The program representative said AgrisTEM offers four programs of study (animal science, food science, plant science and environmental and natural resources) and that students may earn industry-based certifications before graduation. The district also opened the Roger Green Supervised Agricultural Experience Center to house student livestock projects.

Byron Martin ATC and middle-school outreach
District staff and student ambassadors led tours of the Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center, bringing fifth graders to see programs in automotive, nursing, culinary and other CTE pathways. The district said these visits are intended to help younger students start thinking about future career options and select middle- and high-school coursework aligned to workforce pathways.

Rocket Club and university partnership
Stewart Elementary’s Rocket Club launched with a pilot funded by Texas Tech’s STEMCore. The club builds rockets, stages launch parties for families and provides hands-on aerospace learning. Program organizers stressed community partnerships and Texas Tech support as key elements that expanded the pilot to a year-long program.

SkillsUSA and student leadership development
Students and district officers described SkillsUSA leadership trips and competitions as a major component of CTE leadership training. Grant McCall, SkillsUSA Texas District 3 president, said fall leadership events train students in teamwork, communication, resumes, multicultural awareness and other soft skills employers expect. Students who attended the Washington Leadership Training Institute met with federal representatives to advocate for CTE funding through the Perkins Act. Monterey students also reported that SkillsUSA participation supported internship and scholarship opportunities, and a team from the district won a national title in video game design at SkillsUSA Nationals.

Why it matters
District leaders framed CTE as a pipeline to both immediate employment and further education: students can earn credentials such as CNA, phlebotomy or meat-cutting certifications or move into engineering and production programs at universities. The described partnerships with local businesses, hospitals and Texas Tech aim to align classroom training with employer needs in agriculture, health care, IT, welding, drones and culinary trades.

What the district said it will do next
The district will continue CTE Month activities, increase visits of younger students to ATC and AgrisTEM facilities, and promote internships and employer partnerships to expand the local talent pipeline.","Lubbock ISD TV covered multiple Career and Technical Education initiatives: the AgrisTEM center on Texas Tech’s campus, the Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center (ATC) tours for younger students, SkillsUSA leadership trips and competitions, and a Rocket Club partnership with Texas Tech’s STEMCore.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6374704,"Lubbock ISD board votes to extend superintendent contract after closed session",27,16026000,16053000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2143513-9ab8958adaaa2815fe16bb37eee675ad&start=16026&end=16053","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2143513-9ab8958adaaa2815fe16bb37eee675ad/thumbnail_16026000.jpg","/articles/6374704/Texas/Lubbock-ISD-board-votes-to-extend-superintendent-contract-after-closed-session","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6374704-b01fc35b290ce1d25a09c50d0ba63287/orig.mp4?Expires=1771077594&Signature=Lm9XncCuBkkrda5yy5c9RPJf5Yd37myBDBsud6s-t~o0fBoPqqUi8LPVi~rosFeOcHQu3QJ8jbkncoaUsdbcRsafmv3F2P-pUU4PhcKTcbpv2qUKIDwQRt9b~y7G4hy~yH6dDI46DiBJxid8rVNL7FZHF--vdIoS7v9MWcYT41D6zFI35Kdb~8pEOdb0d3fQ~p4qXXe749WXAEZPcr0~Vx1r41D6NjfpjtjTHszSpIqSlOVcYF8LDFN6VLNw9FYA1UAO5D2FsAOgmLY7HXuDbKB7J4uCWX0XZibG74OKH~EDW7OcfnnKvCwdBQgz2KAoot93Pk6I3fjHSfY14QDsnw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lubbock Independent School District Board of Trustees voted after an executive closed session to extend the superintendent’s contract for one year and authorized the board president to negotiate the terms.

The motion was raised during the public meeting following the closed session. The motion text on the record was: “I move that we extend the superintendent's contract 1 year until June 30th (date unclear in the transcript) and authorize the board president to negotiate.” The motion received a second and the presiding officer called for the ayes. The meeting record states “Motion carries.”

The transcript does not identify who moved or seconded the motion by name on the public record and does not include a roll-call vote or a numeric tally of yea/nay votes. The board president was authorized to negotiate final contract terms; no details of the negotiated changes, salary, or effective date were presented in the public portion of the record.

Because the transcript’s wording about the contract end date was garbled (the speaker said words that sounded like “June 30th 20th 28th”), the exact new expiration date is not specified in the available record. The board announced that the next regular meeting (changed from workshop-only to regular meeting + workshop) would be held February 13 at 7:00 a.m., and the meeting adjourned shortly after the motion.

What the board formally did: it approved a one-year extension of the superintendent’s contract and authorized the board president to complete negotiations on behalf of the board. The transcript does not include the name of the superintendent, the negotiated compensation, or the explicit effective date for the extension.

A follow-up item for the district: the board should publicly post the finalized contract or a clear summary of the motion timing and effective dates in the minutes or on the district website to clarify the record for the public.","After an executive closed session, the Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees voted to extend the superintendent’s contract for one year and authorized the board president to negotiate terms; the motion carried following an aye vote, details on the new end date were unclear in the record.","actionData","errors"]
