The Tarrant Appraisal Review Board of directors is in need of a new leader after Chair Kathryn Wilemon was recalled by the Tarrant County Commissioner’s Court and Keller City Council. The board members lead the Tarrant Appraisal District, the entity that appraises the value of homes and other properties in the county and administers property tax exemptions. The district is responsible for local property tax appraisals and exemptions for 73 jurisdictions in Tar- rant County. The district does not directly tax residents, but determines the value of a resident’s property. Council and a local Realtor raised concerns for months over a lack of transparency and complaints about prop- erty tax estimates. When county residents showed up for a routine June 30 meeting of the appraisal board last year, they had been locked out. During a March 17 meeting, Chief Appraiser Je Law apologized for the decisions made in leaving people to stand outside the previous June. He said the board does not have a set meeting space, and the multipurpose room it usually uses was not available. He said the board was meeting in a smaller space that did not have the capacity for a large crowd of community members. “I regret that people wound up being outside in the heat,” Law said. “If [I] had the ability to rewind and go

TRANSPORTATION UPDATES Texas Department of Transportation to overhaul Hwy. 114

COMPILED BY HANNAH JOHNSON

ONGOING PROJECT

HALL JOHNSON RD.

The Texas Department of Trans- portation is planning changes to Hwy. 114 that consist of widening 7.1 miles of Hwy. 114 from east of International Parkway to east of Riverside Drive located within the cities of Irving and Grapevine, according to a presenta- tion provided by TxDOT. The project’s purpose is to improve mobility in the corridor by adding capacity to meet existing and future trac demands, upgrade the existing corridor to meet engineering design standards, and manage congestion. The changes are needed, as the exist- ing roadway does not meet existing or future trac capacity demands in northeast Tarrant County and northwest Dallas County, according to documents. The roadway also does not meet TxDOT design standards, which causes additional congestion, accord- ing to the department. From International Parkway in Grapevine to SH 161 near Irving, the roadway would widen from seven

Eight frontage road lanes would be widened, and a 10-foot-wide shared-use path would be constructed on the frontage road for bicycles and pedestrians.

CISD will not renew TASB membership

GCISD ocially hires new superintendent

BY HANNAH JOHNSON

School Boards Association after members of the national associa- tion sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking the federal govern- ment to investigate and prevent threats against school ocials. This was in reference to heated public comments at school board meetings across the nation with some individuals speaking against pandemic policies and critical race theory. In CISD’s resolution, the TASB is criticized for taking eight months to announce the end of its mem- bership with the national associ- ation. The resolution also states local taxpayer dollars are used to fund the organization’s member- ship and its services. According to the resolution, the services provided by TASB are “readily available on the free market.” A statement provided by the TASB stated it has never wanted to monopolize a market but help dis- tricts nd cost-eective solutions. According to its website, the TASB represents the best interests of all districts and looks to boost student achievement.

CARROLL ISD The district will no longer be a member of the Texas Association of School Boards starting in the 2023-24 school year. The CISD board of trustees voted 5-1 not to renew its membership with the TASB. According to the resolution submitted by CISD Board President Cameron Bryan, this decision was due to the TASB promoting “divisive political ideologies” through its training and conferences. The resolution was also signed by Board Vice President Hannah Smith and Secretary Andrew Yeager. Trustee Michelle Moore voted against the decision. Moore cited concerns for future policy updates and losing services provided by the TASB such as legal assistance and human resources. “So many times we pause on decisions when it comes to the budget when we don’t have the information, and right now we just don’t have the information to know what it’s going to cost,” Moore said. In May, the TASB voted to end its membership with the National

Nelson’s career in state government includes becoming the longest-serv- ing Republican woman in the Senate as well as the rst woman to lead the Senate Finance Committee.
