Coach Garner led recognition of the high school swim team and said the district sent its largest swim contingent since regional reclassification. \"This was the largest group. Ever since they reclassified swimming for 4 a and down, this is the third year, this was the largest group of swimmers we took to state,\" Coach Garner said, noting a diver, Luke Dorniak, finished fourth in the boys' 1-meter diving event and the boys' relay teams and several individuals placed among the top 16 at state.

The board then honored students who placed in the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo art contest. Junior-high art teacher Pam Clapp introduced middle-school entrants and said several pieces will be displayed at the rodeo; one student received a best-in-show distinction. The board asked that the images be made available on the district website and live feed so families could view them.

Administrators announced Wharton County's middle school had been named a Texas \"Schools to Watch\" campus, a recognition coordinated by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals and the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform. \"We received the award,\" said the middle-school administrator leading the presentation, listing a May 6 celebration and a March 4 presentation at the Making Middle School Matters symposium in Austin. The presenter said the district will not travel to the national recognition in Washington, D.C., because it is unpaid travel, but the district's name will be announced nationally.

Board members also recognized several employees with district 'Remarkable' awards for leadership and classroom performance, including teachers and campus staff at Northside and other campuses. Administrators praised nominees for mentoring new teachers, building classroom environments and supporting students with extra needs.

The board did not receive public comment during the meeting. Trustees encouraged families and staff to share photos of the honorees with campuses and on the district website.","Trustees recognized student athletes who qualified for state swimming, students selected for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo art contest, and middle-school staff and teachers honored with district 'Remarkable' awards and a Texas \"Schools to Watch\" recognition.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6684202,"El Campo ISD board approves Bluebonnet Learning for K–5 ELA; math set for grades 1–3",257,2059000,2316000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2434928-8362bded5226cabf5812fd0f318268da&start=2059&end=2316","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2434928-8362bded5226cabf5812fd0f318268da/thumbnail_2059000.jpg","/articles/6684202/Texas/El-Campo-ISD-board-approves-Bluebonnet-Learning-for-K5-ELA-math-set-for-grades-13","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6684202-996a56cc763003a911673ee09fa835a7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437019&Signature=Ckenxa1Yetfm~PnM4bBtLvsTueXq1wxVlJmBapdItJ8U9Yw1VxNxKias7cDThX3KacpK37rMrbwOHg92cA51kBltFdSMwS-~wwFqyDsDlijHKK40r4h5O9HidKlCq2kd04TNwIIYK13-7mhE1SGn5HHowg6I7LaNkqpRbeVDcpr10T07uMd1bJ0ja3J5JvFQMOf7Y~D3UDWUdJSz820TDQAmGO65KofSFlf8LjWumY72twxK9Katp9wtMUHj3xL4JrBP5mM4GY8BoS8eGk3gyLg7PqyxqYQB1vgWn~hK9o6-JZSjUPNgHlc~oDBJ2DISZU5Z4kARu8FccVbsG4WY-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The El Campo Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to approve Bluebonnet Learning as the district's core English language arts curriculum for kindergarten through fifth grade and to continue math materials for grades 1'2 during its regular February meeting.

District staff said the change primarily formalizes a transition from Amplify to Bluebonnet Learning after the Texas Education Agency incorporated parts of Amplify and other vendors into a consolidated program. Alicia, district staff member presenting the item, said the district has funding available through a new open education resource entitlement and that using Bluebonnet is the way to access that money. \"So it's not gonna be an added expense anywhere,\" Alicia said during the presentation.

Officials told the board the adoption requires an approved transition plan to use the entitlement that the district received in December. The administration said the open education resource funds can be spent only on Bluebonnet; if the district does not adopt the curriculum and the plan, it will forfeit that entitlement. The presenter also said the district had not received the larger Lasso grant intended to cover a bulk of the cost, though she said a second award is still possible in March or May.

Board member David moved to approve the Bluebonnet adoption and the required transition plan; board member Ed seconded. The board approved the measure by voice vote. No recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the minutes.

During brief discussion before the vote a board member said he had \"0 faith in the TEA, but I have a lot of faith in Alicia,\" expressing confidence in the staff member who led the proposal. School leaders said teachers and administrators who piloted Amplify saw progress and the district expects continuity for students who have been using the vendor's resources.

Administrators described the plan as not creating a new recurring expense because the entitlement and other existing funds will cover the subscription costs; any additional costs would be covered through early education funds the district already budgeted. The board approved the curriculum and the written transition plan that staff will use to implement Bluebonnet across the district.

The board also noted that three trustees attended Wharton County Day at the state Capitol the day before and had discussed Bluebonnet with state legislators, an item district staff said helped inform the timing of the presentation.

Implementation steps identified by staff include finalizing the transition plan to meet TEA entitlement requirements and proceeding to vendor setup for the K'5 ELA and 1'3 math scope. No specific implementation dates beyond the transition-plan approval were given.","At its February meeting the El Campo Independent School District Board of Trustees approved adopting Bluebonnet Learning to replace Amplify for K–5 English language arts and to continue math for grades 1–3, with a transition plan tied to a new open education resource entitlement.","actionData","errors"]
