The exhibition, co-organized by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, and Cranbrook Art Museum, includes collaborative works that investigate Black hair, textiles and American history. The program includes a monumental reconstruction of a Confederate truce flag fragment Clark researched at the Smithsonian, and a participatory installation called Reconstruction Exercise that invites visitors to weave on an 11-yard scroll.

\"She always says hair artists are the original textile artists,\" the program host said on-air, describing Clark’s long engagement with hair as material and cultural history. The broadcast noted that Clark’s work includes the Hair Craft Project and the Beaded Prayers Project, and that related companion works are on view a few blocks away at the Houston Museum of African American Culture.

The exhibition schedule includes public educational events such as weekend weaving demonstrations, and the broadcast described interactive elements — including rubbings and a weaving loom — that allow visitors to take home a record of their participation. The transcript names partner institutions and situates the show in a network of museums and community activities.

No ticketing, admission price or exhibition end date was provided in the transcript; visitors should consult the hosting institutions for hours and admission details.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Stafford - Stafford Weekly News - May 30, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A retrospective of Sonya Clark’s 30-year practice, including a monumental Confederate flag study and participatory weaving installation, is on view at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft with companion works at the Houston Museum of African American Culture.","taxTitle","Stafford, Fort Bend County, Texas","taxId",69474,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6545512,"Stafford Municipal School District honors staff and names Heather Amos district Teacher of the Year",88,547000,635000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3626147-88236478b89ff547e8e4986bc5eaef83&start=547&end=635","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3626147-88236478b89ff547e8e4986bc5eaef83/thumbnail_547000.jpg","/articles/6545512/Stafford/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Stafford-Municipal-School-District-honors-staff-and-names-Heather-Amos-district-Teacher-of-the-Year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545512-ae21f0b007d3bd81f90ac255aed95b2c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771086011&Signature=YI5-PkL7FBqENCrgCGpT8pr9XdspjSXOJGh2Hj0zFGpu-2A59rm~MI5rVAqoHeI8bLYkRNZOeg8BHb7YHZYi9ZEm-2gh9HxUjrgvu3xslYJsHFeoQjAsXqB03G5AoLR5H0eA0FcnF9JMhIk~FBoKPDqbYEstazrt5~IM3A3cd-3yh7LiZ~i5m0bj5pa-uJF-yUFeT7X6bhBt76MbYH6gJpIeDeQHvQbeymXb6UKsE-sUPD4ByiPTp3vYmsgU0KkvwPxEKhVJ~ex0S8wJJF9X5mqBH0riDNB9eAIJ-aune5bZOIukGLLWEZByv-Vk6-B4DjoNdvHjAhpHi-6zuGRGMw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Stafford Municipal School District held an end-of-year celebration at the Landmark Community Center to recognize staff across campuses, honor years of service and celebrate retirees, the district said on Stafford Weekly News.

The district presented awards for multiple years of service, retirees were acknowledged, and departmental employees of the year were named in child nutrition, operations, transportation and technology. Teachers of the Year were named across campuses, and Heather Amos was named districtwide Teacher of the Year.

The program was described as a districtwide recognition event; the transcript provided a list of names being recognized but did not include individual award citations beyond department and district honors. No board action, funding decisions or policy changes were recorded in the segment; the coverage was an announcement of recognitions and retirements.

The transcript noted the event was hosted at the Landmark Community Center and described the gathering as district staff from every campus assembled to honor dedication and service.","At its end-of-year celebration, Stafford Municipal School District recognized employees across departments, celebrated retirees and named Heather Amos the districtwide Teacher of the Year.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6545517,"Stafford Municipal School District esports teams advance at state competitions; coaches cite academic and social benefits",267,278000,545000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3626147-88236478b89ff547e8e4986bc5eaef83&start=278&end=545","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3626147-88236478b89ff547e8e4986bc5eaef83/thumbnail_278000.jpg","/articles/6545517/Stafford/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Stafford-Municipal-School-District-esports-teams-advance-at-state-competitions-coaches-cite-academic-and-social-benefits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545517-133877ba14bd1180097ab85e060b4e34/orig.mp4?Expires=1771086011&Signature=LvIUzfGyBwL2AwlDGD6OD-C2ge2u3IhPpUK~WkJYNvR4BZ5SJ7JYN6zDvRZcmDm74XsHLdhGEhurkifv08WBITyFiHdoGw40ADgewY0sBzZgII8MRyIJ3LcPZMj4hWquq41BVc4Y8cW9wo6cdMDMIAlT-nDRRvFhJc45mL~a5uf5TATyas5GBrjjp5QVuwl3xQ6rQS7A-tnvr7aXKX5QEPlD0PlEGgszSINGCKEa9wwc462F0mS7VsijtuLSb8bSnVfhg9WarAs93JuiJPlsU5aDZymp793~sTgSzH~H-2xyEGYM-y2OzMerq~2mRslWiMb2NEgX88xPvef3mnvbWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Stafford Municipal School District coaches told Stafford Weekly News that the district’s esports program, now in its third year, qualified multiple teams for statewide championships in May and produced several top finishes.

Colt Berry, director of esports for Stafford Municipal School District and the high school head coach, said the program began three years ago and this year qualified teams in several titles. “So we actually qualified for multiple game titles this past state championship, in May,” Berry said, listing qualifying titles including Mario Kart, Splatoon, Rocket League, Valorant, Street Fighter and Super Smash Bros.

Coaches described competitive results across age groups: one middle-school Super Smash Bros. team won a state championship, another finished in the top 16, and a Rocket League middle-school team finished in the top eight, the coaches said. Berry and other coaches described the program as an opportunity to help students remain academically eligible and improve attendance. Staff said many colleges now offer esports scholarships — the transcript reported “about 800” colleges nationwide that provide such scholarships.

Christopher Martin, identified as an elementary-school esports coach, and other coaches said staff emphasize academic standards and attendance as conditions for participation. Coaches said they view the program as a way to build social skills, character, and postsecondary opportunities for students.

The transcript records coaches describing travel to state events, including a trip to Baylor University where seniors had a final event, and coaches said those moments provided mentorship opportunities as students discussed next steps.

The district did not present formal policy changes or funding details at the time of the broadcast; the discussion was framed as program reporting and coach commentary.","Stafford Municipal School District coaches reported multiple teams qualified and placed at state championships in May; staff say the program helps attendance, academics and offers scholarship pathways.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6545523,"Stafford Police Department says Lexipol honored its policy and training program for third straight year",97,46000,143000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3626147-88236478b89ff547e8e4986bc5eaef83&start=46&end=143","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3626147-88236478b89ff547e8e4986bc5eaef83/thumbnail_46000.jpg","/articles/6545523/Stafford/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Stafford-Police-Department-says-Lexipol-honored-its-policy-and-training-program-for-third-straight-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545523-735d2a807e0dde8b7dda7f5eaf10670a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771086011&Signature=OAyQHyvA5FvKbJoucXZF-9IjLNXFyZQXGmRKXb6~uUZfAorxCkURrCSwbIlUfZi05YgoQMdufVOwtuI6n0IOlcdo0hCnWwDDW6nkUsC1IWbuVCSf0N~oHyngYrUgKAll-61~kkJ5rYnEVdShE-HkGdf9yehQF7NulGnJbCSSUJ9mGTUOXywi~NnMECr3y9RDzZz9wZjri2LSc5ISgrfKY1ylpxWIBcwegGbDh5xtAoo7YWZLjGcD4GmAvwtxt4gHA8yRmEihqWcnGbbH27CD0MHwdbB1bLxOL6f~KKy8jugAhicsTxhjtg7CyxduDdSOMp5zLpXqPyJ3VHp0jiUK9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Stafford Police Department announced at a city council meeting May 21 that it received a Lexipol recognition for its policy management and training program for 2024 — the third consecutive year the department said it had been honored.

The recognition highlights the department’s use of Lexipol policy-management software and a related program of recurring, scenario-based “daily training bulletins,” which staff said deliver short case scenarios and quizzes intended to reinforce policy and prompt officers to reread policy when answers are incorrect. Stafford officials described the program as a way to keep officer training updated as laws and policies change.

“So this award is, this is the third year in a row that we've received this award from Lex Lexapol,” said a Stafford Police Department spokesperson during the council meeting. The spokesperson said the award “affirms our dedication to the continuous advancement in professional excellence and operational safety.”

Lieutenant Ward was identified at the meeting as a central figure in distributing the daily training bulletins. According to the department’s description, the bulletins present an officer with a short scenario, require a judgment call, then offer a short quiz; officers who answer incorrectly are directed to reread the relevant policy and retake the quiz.

Stafford officials linked the Lexipol recognition to the department’s claim that its policies and training practices help ensure operations remain “within the boundaries of the law,” and said the system helps the department track policy updates and recurring training.

No formal council action or vote on department policy was recorded in the meeting transcript; the announcement was presented as an informational item.

Details clarified in the meeting: the award cited was for 2024 and the staff described the daily training bulletins as a recurring monthly product that draws on scenario-based learning. The transcript did not provide the name of the individual who made the initial announcement beyond departmental references.","At the Stafford City Council meeting May 21, Stafford Police Department announced it received Lexipol recognition for policy management and training for 2024, its third consecutive year, and described recurring scenario-based training delivered via daily training bulletins.","actionData","errors"]
