Chad Haskins, advanced academics coordinator, introduced students who qualified for UIL academic state meets, including the Lubbock High science team and individual competitors from Coronado High School and Talkington School for Young Women Leaders. Haskins described UIL as offering \"30 academic events, including events such as math, science, speech and debate, journalism, and STEM related events.\" He recognized named students who placed at the regional and state levels.

Haskins also recognized Academic Decathlon teams: four of the district's five high schools qualified for state-level competition. He said Lubbock High School achieved 41 individual medals at the state meet and named four students who finished as top scorers in their divisions: Aubrey Alvarado, Robert Gaines, Michael Herrera, and Madeline Weaver. He credited campus principals, volunteers and parents for contributing to the teams' success.

Haskins announced scholarship support for Academic Decathlon competitors provided by local donors: Sodexo School Services donated $12,500 to the scholarship fund and Dr. Eugene Stallnecker contributed $5,000. He read scholarship amounts awarded to individual students from Coronado, Lubbock, Monterey and Talkington teams (amounts varied by student and were listed during recognitions).

Cesar De Leon, executive director of fine arts, presented the Keep Lubbock Beautiful student-art contest winner: Devin Flores, a fifth grader at Brown Elementary, whose design will be wrapped onto a City of Lubbock sanitation truck. De Leon also acknowledged senior Evan Martin of Lubbock High School and Sophia Penner of Hutchinson Middle School for national Scholastic Art and Writing Awards recognition.

Mike Meeks, executive director of athletics, recognized THSCA academic All-State athletes across district high schools, and noted several baseball and other athletes who earned first- and second-team academic All-State and honorable-mention distinctions.

Carrie Fulgham, digital learning coordinator, recognized esports state qualifiers from multiple campuses; she listed students and coaches and noted some campuses had state champions and scholarship recipients (for example, Lubbock High had a scholarship recipient for esports).

Board members offered collective praise for students, coaches and sponsors. The board record shows a lengthy recognition segment celebrating a wide range of extracurricular accomplishments across the district; the public meeting included photo opportunities for students and campus groups.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Board Meeting - May 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board recognized dozens of students and teams from multiple campuses for UIL state qualifiers, Academic Decathlon medals, art awards and esports and academic all-state recognitions; local donors provided scholarships for decathlon competitors.","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},6190833,"TEA intruder audit found one Lubbock ISD campus noncompliant; district reports fixes and training",36,7040000,7076000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5040126-980ae83a94afd085725a905180ec178f&start=7040&end=7076","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5040126-980ae83a94afd085725a905180ec178f/thumbnail_7040000.jpg","/articles/6190833/Texas/TEA-intruder-audit-found-one-Lubbock-ISD-campus-noncompliant-district-reports-fixes-and-training","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190833-141780b6892b6a729c1a153a4159e59b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770803114&Signature=OA4Gukj~SqsAqDACjRJqOJyBWlF1g3Y5-qdrUur~wk-mHhA7coGhaEOTUSPJ4Bn96JwYIGn7ZvYg4gmZkH37UyanW7qg9ZpwFYkib0gjCaOCQTBNNmOkgdd6tXjeA4Ol-s~tkqYS9-XhzzgfDq1OCi~p-Qpc8KOOU6HYWRWdbqF~ghpaI2vlPaY4neTdejp5AM2K8a-tyNCY6s1si1m4ZXYFM2Lsqx1B6l7F2bKZtTaMO2GI3lNieNNY-zFn0V16fQxYrg5Ms9G2DSnOBUNsNS4qlmYF3sULAB8pIJ-t64GOa9ThQw1DH9w4UGVuOP7wER-p5TjqWF~xIGkyr6nJvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lubbock ISD officials told the board that a Texas Education Agency intruder-detection audit found one campus out of compliance because an auditor was able to gain access through an exterior door.

Dr. Rolo reported that the district \"had a campus that was not compliant with the intruder detection audit, meaning the auditor was able to gain access to the building through an exterior door.\" She said the district has provided training at that campus and has \"made some adjustments to the door operations, as we discussed in closed session.\" No campus name was disclosed during the public portion of the meeting.

The board did not take a separate public vote on this item during the session; the report served as an update on compliance and remedial steps. District staff indicated they will continue to work to ensure all campuses meet TEA audit standards and implement corrective actions as needed.

On the record, the district described the response as operational and training-focused; no further details about timelines, additional hardware changes, or whether other campuses were re-audited were provided in the public remarks.","Texas Education Agency intruder-audit testing allowed access to one campus through an exterior door; the district says it has trained staff and adjusted door operations and discussed the matter in closed session.",{"_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},6190837,"Lubbock ISD board approves MOUs, grants application, bank contract and district purchases",427,6079000,6506000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5040126-980ae83a94afd085725a905180ec178f&start=6079&end=6506","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5040126-980ae83a94afd085725a905180ec178f/thumbnail_6079000.jpg","/articles/6190837/Texas/Lubbock-ISD-board-approves-MOUs-grants-application-bank-contract-and-district-purchases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190837-1a6cb53f6fc185da74e7678053aeb4bf/orig.mp4?Expires=1770803114&Signature=GW7mpvvrWL4GhrcVXaHFPR213ferT31u9kDWlqxmtT8SX9HuYm1Z71KKwqSe-B--grlta7wPVycvdGqf3hLayo24~O38wAFRI7sHDrnY6n6iVgsHja7o6bzB1M4LrPosMj1zgVqHjccmt0oZcITaDvetpHpyakW1TeAu9c8st603Guf0pBIeADxvKQLKvrn73W4111qrH-Ec-TygiEd1wY-DKKGbqBX~MI-kROQSPFtgn0GAEjsDC7M6-tgJROI6ZP0OtoZ2p3qS9bPvTnR8JaF9FTM1xpPc~AwmtjrXPvQyDoGlHBvJCe77ELS9anoXSNYVIRrpR6yxQRxRMKYCQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees approved a set of administrative items including MOUs, a grant application resolution, a bank depository contract, district purchases, contract renewals and construction purchases during the regular meeting.

Academic partnerships and service agreements: The board approved an amended memorandum of understanding with Angelo State University to continue the district's dual-credit program (Monterey and Talkington campuses), noting a new state program will allow students on free or reduced-price lunch to take courses without cost to students. The board also approved the memorandum of understanding with Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) for the 2025-26 year; the district serves as fiscal agent for ECI services for infants and toddlers in several counties.

Opioid grant resolution: Trustees approved a resolution authorizing the superintendent to submit an application for a Community Based Opioid Recovery Effort grant, which the presenter described as funding drawn from state-level settlement distributions to support opioid prevention and intervention activities. The resolution permits the district to apply and designate the superintendent as the authorized official.

Depository contract: After an RFP and evaluation, trustees approved awarding depository services to PlainsCapital Bank for a two-year period, 07/01/2025 through 06/30/2027, with an option to extend. PlainsCapital was the top-scoring respondent; David Quintanee, chairman of PlainsCapital's West Texas Region, thanked the board in person after the vote.

Procurement, renewals, and construction: The board approved district purchases including dual-enrollment/on-ramps services, math intervention (IXL), Edgenuity credit-recovery curriculum for certain high-school programs, AMERA (formerly Istation) reading support, utilities contracts, and musical instruments for instrument consolidation and campus needs. Trustees approved seven contract renewals spanning employee assistance programs, evaluation and professional development software, Google Workspace licensing, frontline software, services supporting dyslexia/deaf education testing, waste collection, and Medicaid-billing software. The board also approved three construction-related purchases for targeted roof repairs, associated professional/architect fees, and Rush Elementary west parking/drop-off improvements. All items in the consent/administrative blocks were approved by roll call or voice vote, typically recorded as 6 to 0.

Board presenters included Dr. Rolo (superintendent), Dr. Wilkins (finance), Mr. Rodriguez (procurement), Mr. Barbides (facilities) and others who described program specifics and funding sources. Several presenters noted that some approvals reflect application or funding-seeking steps (for example, the opioid grant application) rather than guaranteed award amounts.","At the May meeting the board approved amended dual-credit and early-intervention MOUs, authorized an opioid grant application, awarded a two-year depository contract to PlainsCapital Bank, and approved multiple purchases, renewals and construction expenditures.",{"_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},6190842,"Lubbock ISD finance director outlines budget gaps, warns state school finance bill will include strings",1642,5830000,7472000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5040126-980ae83a94afd085725a905180ec178f&start=5830&end=7472","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5040126-980ae83a94afd085725a905180ec178f/thumbnail_5830000.jpg","/articles/6190842/Texas/Lubbock-ISD-finance-director-outlines-budget-gaps-warns-state-school-finance-bill-will-include-strings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190842-be695b1abe619d75fa6185992e846227/orig.mp4?Expires=1770803114&Signature=AlrhE9MLqpt69W~xKZLophZbVMg-jAwixHl-Fv5IcSRpqvJpMEYmtpBvKiXzGmGTILw6VBMLTLLzQ2tPOS~Mm8asDGtFpynwGSv7gjuxT0rV-wu5PUCGIlgllKfm359FPeuhAygQ8HWUZVKrM8eXnguokwKPY7Zf9GsZwCJDnLaxb7LMcTBxb~CB5thJ7SEogVZYrvFNrhkYnG6Zlg6zACLbAZPJffLNNFNvOSe1umuNahkpFrJM0rVQvb63HKTxvIIekLVl8WVPdxfgEc5V0mPxvuiq8Ona0hn4AglLo5hazvbP0SnuMbCP5xZ~yHPJXBwFm3M6kNCdcdYf8drb6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dr. Wilkins briefed the Lubbock ISD board on district finances through April and on a recently proposed state school finance bill that trustees said could change budgets significantly.

On the monthly financials, Dr. Wilkins said the district is tracking close to expectations: \"If you look at the first, I wanna draw your attention down to the bottom right where it says 82.97% expended. We should be 83% expended.\" He noted that \"point 01% equates to about $30,000.\" Dr. Wilkins also reported investment yields near 5.1% and said food services and debt service were in good shape.

On the budget picture, Dr. Wilkins said estimated changes show about $4.3 million in reduced revenues and $4.6 million in reduced expenditures, producing an estimated deficit under current law of \"about 8.2\" (as he described it on the record). He called out a roughly $1.1 million reduction in property-insurance costs as a positive adjustment and said payroll projections remain the largest remaining uncertainty.

Dr. Wilkins emphasized timing and process: the board will pass a budget in June but will not receive the district's official tax rate until August. He warned trustees the district will likely need to amend the budget once the Legislature finalizes details of the school finance bill. To illustrate how restricted funding streams affect district decisions he used an analogy about friends receiving funds with strings attached and said, \"Right now, we know we're getting a lot of money. But there's gonna be strings, and we're gonna have to figure out how to do it.\" He cautioned that the bill could require months of administrative rulemaking: \"It could take 6 months, a year for Texas education code to be written, for Texas administrative code to be written...but we're gonna try to give it a good a good try to see where we're gonna end up right off the bat.\"

Trustees asked procedural questions about timing; Dr. Wilkins said the effective timeline depends on when the governor signs legislation. He and trustees agreed the district will adopt a conservative June budget under current law and return later to amend it if needed.

No formal policy change or compensation plan was approved at the meeting; Dr. Wilkins and trustees noted the bill contains complicated compensation provisions that will require further analysis before the district finalizes changes.","Dr. Wilkins presented April financials and a budget outlook showing revenue and expenditure shifts; he said the board will pass a budget in June under current law and likely amend it after the state bill is finalized because the new funding will include restrictions.",{"_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},6190847,"Lubbock ISD board hires Miranda Rodriguez Reyes as Harwell Elementary principal",17,4883000,4900000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5040126-980ae83a94afd085725a905180ec178f&start=4883&end=4900","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5040126-980ae83a94afd085725a905180ec178f/thumbnail_4883000.jpg","/articles/6190847/Texas/Lubbock-ISD-board-hires-Miranda-Rodriguez-Reyes-as-Harwell-Elementary-principal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190847-ad581733d5af5fa93b422a9d7366366e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770803115&Signature=EF8yBY5yxTLCljcJvIkvXgigIYF5FpnZzJ3~7hSbeFGAJPBGdWTN2Chy78Mn5T2H5dnsvmlG-YSMQGQiEGKgZUGlu4Okv7farxThUVY19sVfJ8HDtIQGQWcjfLIwhEr6jqxf1LMkgPk5W5qcE0v9yp~DnJWypUFSaGqASbNg2STkhw60i8Vx-HcNHHM6oGcyBhYBHMp~C8g3ratOYLk9vKEDBEgIOI4F2AsjoRIWxaDv1o1eJ75Qpe1KEZ4ZYASEEk-RLdIDDkoRIbLlj1nIiyUabEJc4xqCsn~ILcQBeEdYKGAitMgIWOBsuBYLLqFfHZaEL8-YUHFVVSCNPI5uew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to hire Miranda Rodriguez Reyes as principal of Harwell Elementary after reconvening from closed session.

Multiple trustees offered congratulations and expressed support. One trustee said, \"Please don't be shy about asking for help if you need it. That's what the tools and resources the district has for you.\" Another trustee noted the board's commitment to Harwell remaining a strong dual language campus and said the board would provide support.

No additional conditions or contingencies tied to the hire were stated on the record. The board did not identify any follow-up action required beyond the appointment.

The personnel action was recorded on the board's public minutes as approved following closed session.","The Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to hire Miranda Rodriguez Reyes as principal of Harwell Elementary following closed session.
