ACROSS 59 CAMPUSES IN SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS, CIS HAS SEEN:
For patients seeking access to men- tal health care and counseling, the burden of getting the cost covered can prove daunting. According to the American Psy- chological Association, 30% of psy- chologists do not accept insurance, requiring the patient to petition their insurance provider to pay them back all or at least a portion of what they paid out of pocket for care.

and social settings, mental health providers throughout Central Texas have seen a sharp increase in demand for ser- vices for children as diagnoses of anxiety, depression and behavioral issues rise. “I have noticed the anxiety like never before, and [chil- dren] are not really sure where it’s coming from,” said Cindy Cattin, a licensed professional counselor at New Braunfels High School. “They can’t pinpoint where it’s coming from, but they need our space. They need somebody to talk to.”
In 2021, more than a third of high school students sur- veyed in the U.S. reported experiencing poor mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data from the CDC also showed that, compared to 2019, the proportion of emergency department visits that were related to mental health increased by 24% among children ages 5-11 and 31% among youth ages 12-17 in 2020.

FEATURED IMPACT COMMUNITY In a May 25 press release NB Housing Partners announced that a plan to renovate the Comal County Senior Citizens Center, located at 655 Landa St., for the permanent home of the First Footing program was canceled. NB Housing Partners and the Salvation Army had entered into a verbal agreement with the Comal County Senior Citizens Foundation to eventually use the property to house individuals experiencing homelessness, according to the release. NB Housing Partners and other local nonpro t organizations joined to create the First Footing shelter program in February 2021. The program uses hotel space to house those experiencing homelessness locally and has served more than 300 individuals, over 80% of which are from the New Braunfels area, said Kellie Stallings, administrator of First Footing. Plans to move the program into the former senior center were halted when an environmental review and ood plain mapping study showed that extensive ood-proo ng was needed to meet requirements for compliance with the city of New Braunfels occupancy codes, according to the release. While NB Housing Partners and the
Salvation Army had prepared for some expenses associated with ood mitigation, the addition of up to two years to the construction timeline was not expected and do not align with the program’s relocation schedule, according to the release. “We are saddened 655 Landa St. didn’t work out for the First Footing program,” Stallings said in the release. “We are continuing to explore other locations right now.” The organization previously tried to purchase a hotel located at 201 Loop 337, Stallings said in an email, but the deal fell through. Funding provided by the Community Development Block Grant was tied to the location and cannot be transferred to another site, she said. No other potential sites have been announced, and the group plans to continue leasing hotel space until a new location is secured, Stallings said. “We have short-term funding to continue our current hotel lease,” Stallings said in an email. “This option is not cost- e ective or sustainable in the long term and utilizes resources that could be diverted to direct services.” In addition to providing shelter, the program connects individuals with local support resources, assists with job searches and ultimately works to nd permanent housing.

ANNUAL SALARY INCREASE
Through the recently passed VATRE, Comal ISD employees have been promised at least a 3% raise each year for the next four years. FOR SCHOOL YEARS: • 2021-22 3% RAISE
COMAL ISD On May 3, the board of trustees unanimously approved a compensation plan for the upcoming school year that includes a 4% salary increase for all employees. During an April 28 board meeting the board voted to postpone the approval of salary increases after district sta unexpectedly changed their recommendation from a 3% salary increase to a 4% increase the afternoon of the meeting. In November voters approved a Vot- er-Approved Tax Rati cation Election that increased the district’s main- tenance and operations tax rate on the condition that the district would utilize revenue generated to raise sta pay and to hire new positions.
Through the VATRE, all sta and teachers are guaranteed at least a 3% pay increase each year, starting with the 2021-22 school year, over the next four years, said Bobbi Supak, assistant superintendent for human resources. During the April 28 meeting, Supak presented the board members with the proposed compensation plan for the 2022-23 school year that included additional teaching positions, increased stipends for some extracur- ricular coordinators and the 3% raise that would increase starting teacher salary to $50,500.

NBISD plans additional school and renovations for two elementaries
CAMPUS SHUFFLE Instead of combining the two schools, Carl Schurz and Seele will be renovated. A middle school is proposed for the previous combined-campus site.
NEW BRAUNFELS ISD On May 9, the New Braunfels ISD board of trustees approved a plan that will preserve two elementary school campuses that had previously been slated to be combined into a new campus. Approximately $35 million was set aside to construct a new elementary school at the site of the former Ninth Grade Center, located at 659 S. Guenther Ave. as part of the district’s 2018 bond.
Once complete, the campus was expected to accommodate approximately 850 students and replace Carl Schurz and Seele elementary schools, which were built in 1924 and 1950, respectively. Construction on the new school at Legend Pond is estimated to begin in August and conclude in late 2024. Work on Carl Schurz and Seele will likely begin in June 2023 and conclude in May 2024, according to the district.

Summer Conservation
To keep your utility bill as low as possible, take advantage of the following tips and information and help save water, energy, and money during the hot summer months.
JUNE 4 - AUG. 5 Programs and prizes for kids, teens, and adults!
Energy Conservation Tips
Adjust the Thermostat • For maximum comfort and energy efficiency in your home, set your summer thermostat to 78 degrees. • Save energy while you are away by installing a smart thermostat. Some new thermostats are also Wi-Fi enabled and can be controlled from your mobile devices. Lights • Increase your home comfort level by only turning on lights you need, especially during the late afternoon hours to save energy during the hottest part of the day. • Making the switch to LED lights in the home can save energy not only because they use less electricity than traditional bulbs, but they also produce less heat! AC/Heating System • Replace the filters once a month — or more often if they get dirty. General REBATE OFFER * • One of the easiest ways to reduce energy usage on a hot afternoon is to simply leave the house. Try a new restaurant, read a book at the library, or enjoy some time in the parks. • Ceiling fans are a great way to increase the comfort of a room. Fans can make you feel up to four degrees cooler than the thermostat setting! REBATE OFFER *

Water Conservation Tips
REBATE OFFER * Indoor • Take showers instead of baths. • Never use the toilet to dispose of trash. • Do not allow the water to run while brushing your teeth or shaving. • Only run the dishwasher with a full load. • Install aerators on your kitchen and bathroom faucets to use less water. • Install a low-flow showerhead. Outdoor • Harvest the rain. Buy or make a rain barrel or a cistern to collect water for your plants. • Use drought-tolerant plants that are adapted to this area to reduce outdoor water use by 20 to 50 percent. • Wash your car with a bucket and sponge instead of a running hose. • Avoid watering on windy days. REBATE OFFER * • Set sprinklers to water the lawn, not sidewalks and driveways. • Water before 10:00 a.m. and after 8:00 p.m. Evaporation losses are up to 60 percent higher during the day.

New Braunfels advisory board recommends pet sales limits
NEW BRAUNFELS After more than six months of deliberation, the New Braunfels Animal Services Advi- sory Board on May 4 recommended an ordinance to regulate the sale of dogs and cats in retail pet shops. New Braunfels officials began considering potential regulations in October after City Council members recommended that the board should discuss options for an ordinance to address commercial animal sales. City staff reviewed similar ordi- nances in other cities in Texas when drafting the options, said Christo- pher Looney, planning and develop- ment services director for the city. One option the officials evalu- ated was an ordinance passed by San Antonio in October 2020 that banned the commercial sale of pets within city limits. The newly recommended ordi- nance in New Braunfels prohibits retail pet shops from the sale, lease or transfer of a dog or cat unless the animal was obtained by the shop from an animal shelter or animal
welfare organization, according to city documents. Additionally, the board recom- mended amending the definition of “animal welfare organization” in the existing code of ordinances. Previously, an animal welfare organization was defined as “any not for profit group with 501(c)(3) status whose primary mission includes animal welfare,” according to city documents. The recommended amendment adds the stipulation that such orga- nizations do not include an entity that breeds animals or one that purchases pets from other breeders. As with the ordinance in San Antonio, private breeders who sell directly to the public are not affected by the ordinance. A one-year grace period for existing pet shops to come into compliance has also been included in the recom- mended ordinance, Looney said. A date for the proposed ordi- nance to be presented has not been determined.
