$2.1M re station remodel complete

Why it matters

Each time a re truck would start, the diesel exhaust, a carcinogen, would then accumulate on re gear sitting in the apparatus bay. Carcinogens are substances that can lead to cancer—one of the biggest dangers to reghters, Fire Chief Ruy Lozano said. Now, the gear is in a dedicated room with better ventilation. “It can be washed, decontaminated, dried and prevent all those long-term carcinogens,” Lozano told Community Impact .

A $2.1 million remodel for New Braunfels’ Fire Station No. 5, located at 1250 W. County Line Road, is complete. City ocials celebrated the completion of the remodel with an uncoupling ceremony Aug. 29. An uncoupling ceremony is a re station’s version of a ribbon-cutting ceremony where ocials pull apart two hoses following signicant renovations. The renovations were funded through a $10 million public safety tax note approved by New Braunfels City Council in August 2022, as previously reported by Community Impact . Additional funding was allocated from the city’s scal year 2025 general fund, Scott McClelland, assistant director of transportation and capital improvement, said. In an email to Community Impact , Communications Manager David Ferguson

Fire Chief Ruy Lozano said the station’s inclusion in the city’s strategic plan shows the vision of city leadership.

said just under $300,000 was added out of the general fund to pave and fence the parking lot. Facility upgrades included removing equipment from the bay to allow vehicles to pull in from the rear and reduce safety risks on County Line Road.

County court holds rst virtual hearing The 446th Judicial District Court held its rst hearing in Comal County as part of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice’s, or TDCJ’s, Virtual Court Program in September, according to a news release. All the district courts in Comal County are now participating in the program, according to the news release. Major takeaways The TDCJ-initiated program utilizes technology to conduct remote court appear- ances rather than transport a defendant who resides in TDCJ across the state. The Virtual Court Program reduces the county’s expenses for ongoing cases and minimizes the security risks associated with transporting inmates. The program also reduces the need for bench warrants, the release states.

What’s changed The city’s general fund budget increased by $1.14 million from the proposed amount of $113.5 million after the city approved two items that were not initially in the budget. A budget order is part of the annual process in which sta recom- mend adjustments based on council direction or updated estimates that provide additional capacity, according to an email from a spokesperson for the City of New Braunfels. In total, the budget order was $3.52 million and included operation increases for the Creekside Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone fund, and a crime analyst. Additionally, the extension of the Landa

The two items funded by the general fund budget are employee compensation and a feasibility study for a police shooting/training range.

Comal, New Braunfels ISDs update library materials policy Local school districts updated their library materials policy in August and September following the passage of Senate Bill 13. Texas lawmakers passed SB 13 during this

year’s regular legislative session, and it became law Sept. 1. It aims to give parents and school boards more oversight over school library books, as previously reported by Community Impact . Trustees are now required to approve any new book purchases or donations before they go into the district’s collection, according to SB 13, NBISD Chief Academic Ocer Lani Norman said. What’s changing The NBISD board will review book selections from a shared spreadsheet and submit any ques- tions through a Google Form at least four days before the next board meeting, board documents state. The CISD Library Materials Board Approval list will be locked 30 days before a board meet- ing and will be posted on the district’s Library Services pages, along with a link to a community feedback form. The list will be presented to the board for approval, and campus librarians will be notied of any approvals or denials. If a title is denied, the librarians must remove it from any purchase lists, the presentation states. If a book is challenged, the district will be required to remove the book from circulation during that challenge period. A book challenge typically takes four to eight weeks, depending on the length of the book. Classroom libraries are also not included in the new library acquisition process. Teachers may purchase and add books to their classroom libraries, but if the board

denies a title, it must also be removed from the classroom. Under House Bill 900, teachers were already required to make their classroom library collection available to parents through ParentSquare, Kristen Day, CISD library services and instructional materials coordinator, said. What the board is saying NBISD Superintendent Laurelyn Arterbury said the district was fortunate to have profes- sional librarians with master’s degrees and library information services at each campus. “This board operates with complete

transparency with everything we do, not just library books. So I’m condent with the process we have,” Arterbury said. CISD Board Vice President Russ Garner said he felt like the process created by district sta was transparent and inclusive to parents. “I am condent that our—or 99.99% of our community—is not [going to] try to go o on a tangent and ban a bunch of books and do a bunch of ridiculousness ... I feel like we’ve created a process that embraces our community with this,” Garner said.

What we know The $15 million academic building will serve sixth- to 12th-grade students, have 37 classrooms, a career and technology space, oces, and a gather- ing space for meetings. “When I got here in 2020, we were already feeling the limitations of our classroom capacity,” Reeves Construction begins for $15M academic building

said. “Many of our grade levels have been full and have had waiting lists. Many families have been on waiting lists for years.” The project is being funded through donations from academy donors and people connected to the NBCA community. Once completed, the academy will move its kindergarten- to fth-grade students from the current elementary campus into the new academic building which will be converted into an early childhood center for children from 6 weeks old to those in pre-K, Reeves said.

The catalyst With 650 students currently enrolled, Reeves said enrollment at NBCA is anticipated to grow by 38.46% by the 2030-31 school year, to 900 stu- dents. Although that projection does not include the opening of the academy’s early childhood center and the additional students it may have, Reeves said. “This will actually increase our overall student capacity,” he said.

Latest update

The new campus was designed to provide hands-on experience in professional settings, Michele Martella, CISD executive director of special programs and services, said in an email to Community Impact . It will be equipped with a commercial kitchen and oer team members hands-on experience in food preparation, service and hospitality, Stahl said in an email to Community Impact . A retail sales lab will be incorporated into the space and allow team members to develop customer service skills and learn how to manage inventory. The new campus will also feature an apartment- style living suite designed to support the development of independent living skills. The space will feature a bedroom, restroom, closet and kitchen, Stahl said. “The unit provides team members with realistic, hands-on experiences in managing daily household tasks, fostering con dence and competence in maintaining a personal living space,” he said.

About the program

Looking back

“This program is truly the answer for young adults to gain independent life skills and employability before they turn 22 years old. Life Bridges provides life-changing outcomes,” Martella said. And while the program continues to grow, so does the number of special education students within CISD. The number of students in special education has increased over the past decade— partially due to the recategorization of some learning disabilities, according to district data.

The Life Bridges program, which began in 2003, serves as a post-secondary transition program that aligns with federal and state requirements for individuals ages 18 and above under the Individuals with Disabilities Educa- tion Act, Martella said. There is an average of 60-80 team members who attend the program full-time, but team member enrollment is growing. Martella said the program’s enrollment has increased by 14% over the past ve years.

The new Life Bridges Campus is part of Propo- sition A within the district’s 2023 voter-approved bond. Proposition A costs $560.56 million and funds new schools, security and facility maintenance. New schools funded by the proposition include Mayfair Elementary, Middle School No. 9 and Farias-Spitzer Elementary School, as previously reported by Community Impact . In the fall of 2022, a replacement campus for the Life Bridges program was recommended by the Comal Forward Committee because of the programming it o ers—such as vocational train- ing and functional academics—and its continued growth within the community. Functional academics teaches team members how to apply their reading and math skills to real life. The name “Life Bridges” is inspired by a bridge, symbolizing a supportive pathway connecting secondary school to post-secondary independence. “Life” reects the focus on enhancing the quality of life for young adults transitioning to adulthood, Martella said.

Businesses and agencies partner with the Life Bridges program to ensure team members have every opportunity to meet their goals. Commu- nity partners are a “critical” component of the Life Bridges program, as they assist in teaching potential employees to serve their community in a productive manner, Martella said. Team members participate in a wide range of activities designed to enhance their independent living skills. They learn how to budget, cook, complete job applications, shop and more. They are also taught appropriate work behaviors and how to apply their reading and math skills in real-life situations, Martella said. On average, 90% of Life Bridges graduates go on to full- and part-time jobs and certication programs, and are prepared to live inde- pendently. A key component of the program is preparing team members to successfully partici- pate in local Individualized Skills and Socializa- tion, day activity and programs, Martella said.

“This facility is equipped to provide learning spaces and opportunities that will have a lifelong impact on the team members as they graduate from this program.” COURTNEY BIASATTI, CISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES PRESIDENT

“This would not be possible without our local businesses and our agencies that work hand in hand with us, each and every day.” JOHN E. CHAPMAN III, CISD SUPERINTENDENT
