After one year of retirement, Lisa McLaughlin returned to the classroom earlier this school year as a long-term special education substitute at Cannon Elementary School. “I just missed the kids and I missed being a part of a school—it’s like a fam- ily here,” she said. Prior to her retirement, McLaughlin had 23 years of experience as a special education teacher. “Right now, [the district] needs subs badly,” she said. “It’s been so reward- ing though. It’s worth it.” McLaughlin is one example of the groundswell of community sup- port that greatly improved the dis- trict’s substitute pool following a districtwide closure in mid-January due to more than 900 active cases of COVID-19 among students and sta . When the district opened back up, the situation changed signi cantly, Director of Human Resources Gema Padgett said.

"GCISD PARENTS" ENDORSES Kathy Florence-Spradley & Tammy Nakamura
TOP REASONS WHY PARENTS SHOULD BE CONCERNED
GCISD Needs Fresh Leadership NOW. Research courtesy of GCISDparents.com Over the past year, GCISD has been the subject of much controversy, debate, and concern. It has become clear that district leadership has failed to ensure students receive superior education. 35% of GCISD 5th Graders 25% of GCISD 8th Graders FAIL BASIC READING AND MATH HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING? The simple answer: Poor leadership that focuses on pushing controversial political agendas rather than providing quality education. While Elementary and Middle School students struggle to meet basic Reading and Math benchmarks, district leaders conduct illegal surveys about sex and racism WITHOUT PARENT CONSENT. High School recommended reading has sexually explicit instructional materials, including child trafficking. & *pre-COVID data
#1
FAILED ACADEMICS
After Governor Abbot banned CRT, CRITICAL RACE THEORY REMAINS IN GCISD SCHOOLS The district is failing our students. While our students struggle to meet minimum Math and Reading requirements, current administration focuses on politics instead.
#2
Diversity Training "How Racist Am I?"
GCISD Teacher: "Those conservative Christian people ... need to get Covid and die."
CRT in curriculum & libraries
Current leadership ignores parent concerns on all counts. This toxic learning environment produced a GCISD activist teacher who publicly said in front of students on campus that she wished death on parents.

DISTRICT HIGHLIGHT CARROLL ISD Students and families living in a previously disputed area will be able to continue with the district, despite a ruling from a lawsuit that states the portion be zoned to Northwest ISD. NISD in-house counsel Christie Hobbs said the two districts have been in a legal battle over the territory since 2005. CISD filed the lawsuit against NISD to try to change the districts’ boundaries after Denton and Tarrant counties modified their county limits. The disputed area includes the Carmel Bay and Clariden Ranch neighborhoods. Students living in homes with a 76092 ZIP code can continue attending CISD schools, officials said. Future students living in those same households will be allowed to go to school in CISD. Carroll ISD Meets April 25 at 5 p.m. 2400 N.

the products out at neighboring fields, Barbaroux said. “We wanted to understand...what the newest and latest and greatest [product] was that made sense for middle school, high school and a stadium field,” Barba- roux said. The turf’s drainage abilities, shock pad and infill were all considered in the final recommendation, according to district documents. Hellas offers an eight-year warranty on the fields, which Barbaroux said is about the typical lifespan of the district’s fields. The project’s substantial completion date is July 4, Barbaroux said.

GRAPEVINE-COLLEYVILLE ISD Synthetic turf fields at Colleyville Heritage High School, Cross Timbers Middle school and Mustang Pan- ther Stadiumwill be replaced and upgraded, according to documents fromGrapevine-Colleyville ISD. The school board voted unani- mously to approve Hellas Construc- tion as the general contractor for the turf replacement projects at a Feb. 28 school board meeting. The total proposed budget for all of the fields is just over $2.5 million, with around $750,000 going to the Colleyville Heritage field, just over $650,00 going to the Cross Timbers field and almost $1 million to Mustang Panther Stadium, according to district documents. The board then at a March 28 meet- ing unanimously approved paying an extra $40,000 total to upgrade the turf product on the Colleyville Heritage field and the Cross Timbers field to match the grade of the turf project to be installed on Mustang Panther
Barbaroux presented information about the selected turf product to the board of trustees, where members were able to feel a sample. Barbaroux said the new turf will be an upgrade from turfs presently on any of the district’s fields, as technology has advanced since they were installed or replaced last. A landscaping architect was consulted and educated the project’s committee on suitable products, and coaches from the district visited and tested

Auditors examined transactions from purchase cards for all city of Grapevine employees between October 2018 and November 2021. The audit report, dated Jan. 17, 2022, identified misuse of funds by two city employees. Kevin Mitchell, who started working for the city in 1999, was the director of the parks and recreation department, the report stated. Ruth Chiego was hired in February 2019 as the library director. Rumbelow detailed the city’s new payment approval process, which includes requiring employ- ees to fill out forms describing the purchase. They must also justify that purchase, upload a receipt and have it routed through supervisors and the city’s finance department, he said. Rumbelow told council at the meeting that Mitchell retired from his position and Chiego has resigned.
GRAPEVINE The city has revised its policies for employee purchases after an independent audit found two department heads misspent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars for personal use. The two employees agreed to restitution totaling more than $58,000, City Manager Bruno Rumbelow said at a special City Council meeting March 15. The mayor and council called for further investigation into more than $198,000 flagged by auditors that was not part of what the two employees agreed to repay the city. The audit stated documentation was missing on some expenses, or auditors could not determine whether certain expenses were for a legitimate business purpose. The independent audit was done by Weaver and Tidwell LLP, a tax and advisory firm.
OVERALL AUDIT FINDINGS The audit found that employees Kevin Mitchell and Ruth Chiego used thousands of taxpayer dollars for personal use.
Ruth Chiego: Out of 354 purchases, 35 totaling $7,643 had no business purpose; documentation for 94 purchases totaling $17,273 was tampered with
Kevin Mitchell: Out of 341 purchases, 53 had no business purpose totaling $33,359

Council applies for grant related to synagogue attack
BY BAILEY LEWIS
the technology and equipment at the Colleyville Police Department’s emergency operations command center, Colleyville Fire Chief Mark Cantrell said at the meeting. If granted, Colleyville plans to use the JAG funds to reimburse the city for overtime expenses incurred while responding to the Congregation Beth Israel attack and will use any additional funding to enhance Colleyville’s Emergency Operations Center, the memo states. The resolution comes after four people were taken hostage at Congregation Beth Israel by British citizen Malik Faisal Akram on Jan. 15, according to multiple press releases from the city. One hostage was released shortly after 5 p.m., while the other three escaped around 9 p.m. Akram was then killed by authorities. The city will also supply local matching funds if needed.
COLLEYVILLE The city is applying for a grant from Gov. Greg Abbott’s office to help reimburse overtime expenses related to the Congregation Beth Israel attack and fund improvements to its emergency operations center. The Colleyville City Council approved a resolution at its March 22 meeting for Kenny Phillips, the city’s emergency services coordinator, to apply for the Justice Assistance Grant program through the Office of the Texas Governor, according to the agenda item’s memo. The JAG program supports state and local agencies in “the prevention and reduction of violent crime,” according to the governor’s website. The city is seeking $38,470.41 for funding related to the personnel costs and $354,289.46 for funding to upgrade

Why are you running for o ce?
Why are you running for o ce?
I am running for o ce because GCISD stu- dents deserve an excellent education. Sadly, I have watched the deterioration of the dis- trict’s academic performance since my two children have graduated. I want to get our district back on track by eliminating outside political in uence in the curriculum and get back to prioritizing academics while creating an environment of trust and transparency between the district and community.
My goal as a trustee and a conservative is stewardship. Stewardship is applied to our daily environment in education, health, eco- nomics and culture. Being involved for over 20 years in Grapevine and Colleyville has allowed me to listen and learn the needs and expectations of our community in our chang- ing environment. I will be a voice reviewing, developing, and being held accountable for our students’ college, career and military readiness.
I want to foster a climate of authentic connection across all campuses and for all students. Recent years have been a time of great polarization in our nation, state and community. I believe that we are in danger of losing sight of what we are here to do—to ensure that educational excellence is accessi- ble to all students. I’d like to build bridges so that we can put aside di erences and work together.
After 35 years in the federal service, I recent- ly retired and am ready to serve my commu- nity with the same commitment that I served our great country. As a parent, veteran and spouse of a teacher, I bring a wide range of experiences that will accentuate the reasons we choose GCISD as our home. I am ready to bridge the gaps between those in our district with di ering opinions and nd the common ground to ensure our children receive the very best education.

Why are you running for o ce?
Why are you running for o ce?
I am running for mayor to protect a six-year track record of putting the interests of Colleyville citizens rst. I want to continue to protect the integrity of existing neigh- borhoods, ensure that Colleyville continues to provide the best value in the state to residents, keep your city tax bill as low as possible, maintain and improve the high quality of parks and trails, upgrade roads and infrastructure, and provide complete support to the best police and re service in the country.
We have seen the Colleyville City Council being associated with and in uenced by outside political groups. As the recognized leader of the city, it is important that the mayor be actively involved in the community and support all Colleyville residents and busi- ness owners. I am committed to Colleyville, actively involved in the community, and not associated or directed by any outside political groups or individuals. I am running for mayor to bring the focus and direction of Colleyville back to all Colleyville residents.
I was only 14 years old when I witnessed the horri c attacks of 9/11. Since then, I made it my mission in life to serve our country, which led me to enlist in the Air Force at the early age of 17. Now, I want to continue to serve my community and residents by serving as councilman. I want to run for o ce because there are things we could be doing even better, such as strategically planning for economic growth and prosperity, spending taxpayer money more conservatively and re- sponsibly, and improving our infrastructure.
I have lived in Colleyville for 40 years and have watched this town grow to be a lovely, thriving and unique community. Unlike many of our bordering communities, this city has managed to remain a low-density developed residential oasis. I support the vision and the path the current city leadership is on and would like to continue honoring their incred- ible commitment and service by following their lead and maintaining Colleyville’s rural appearance.

Colleyville has been such a blessing to my family and me. My wife and I have two boys who have bene ted from the safe communi- ty and beautiful parks, for which I am grate- ful. I love this unique town, and I want to further my service to our community. I look forward to continuing the ne work that has been done by Mayor Richard Newton and all our hard-working city council members and city sta .
The residents of Colleyville are blessed to live in such a wonderful area, and most people I’ve spoken to seem to believe the same. [There are] some areas of struggle we share with everyone since the pandemic, such as sta ng rst responder positions. There are also smaller issues that generate a fair amount of frustration. An example would be the time it is taking to complete the beau- ti cation projects, particularly Glade Road. I think the end result will be appreciated, and I know the crews are doing the best they can.”

Why are you running for o ce?
Why are you running for o ce?
As a member of the Carroll ISD Strategic Planning Committee and Learning and Development Action Team, I am the most quali ed to support our teachers, admin- istration, parents and students. As a father of three Dragons, I know parents want a voice in their children’s education, and I am committed to preserving our rights. We must provide our children with an educational system that challenges and inspires students to think logically, be resilient, communicate e ectively and be well-prepared leaders.
I am running for school board because I believe in the power and necessity of public education. I will use my voice to advocate for the people at the heart of our excellent schools, students and teachers. It is time to treat educators like heroes instead of suspects. We need to uplift marginalized stu- dents and stop silencing the voices of those who have the bravery to speak up about problems in the hopes of nding a solution. CISD needs a trustee who will champion empathy, accountability and integrity.
As a former public school teacher with a master’s degree in education, I would bring the perspective of an educator to the board, a perspective not currently represented. I have spent countless hours in public schools as a PTO president, reading and math group leader, booster clubs president and as a current substitute teacher, and that solid understanding of the inner workings of a public school district is imperative to success on the school board.”
I am running for re-election to the Carroll ISD school board of trustees to continue the work I began when elected last November. I love our public schools, and I love our community of Southlake. Both need humble, principled leadership to continue to excel. Being unafraid to ask ourselves: What are the best practices that prepare all Dragons for their next chapter in life? Where are we falling short on those practices, and how can we quickly nd common-sense solutions to our challenges?
