NICU. The project will add seven private rooms for NICU patients and families, including one for twins and one for triplets. The family center will also include a welcome lounge with a co ee bar. Texas Health Plano has the only Level IV NICU in Collin or Den- ton counties, meaning more fam- ilies will see extended stays at the hospital.
Level IV NICUs are capable of pro- viding the most intensive care for newborns—whether that’s major surgeries or treatment for complex conditions. Texas Health Plano President Fraser Hay said in a news release the designation comes with “greater responsibility and demand for service.” Construction is scheduled to nish

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM MICHAEL: This month’s issue focuses on trends and updates in Plano’s health care industry, including the construction of Texas Health Plano’s neonatal intensive care unit family center. Our front-page story has details about the project, which started construction in May and will serve families of NICU patients. Texas Health Plano has the only Level IV NICU in Collin County, meaning it cares for most of the sickest and smallest babies in the area. That also means the hospital stays are longer, and the new family center will make that stay more comfortable for families. This edition also includes a list of local hospitals, urgent cares and emergency facilities on Page 17. The guide will also feature extra information on all of our local hospitals so you can know where your needs will best be met. Michael Crouchley, EDITOR
Meet Leanne Libby
Dallas - Fort Worth Metro Publisher
What’s your favorite memory working for CI? LL: Day two of the Plano paper hitting homes for the first time ... I sat at a temporary desk in our new DFW headquarters—we had just moved in—and took phone calls and fielded emails for eight hours straight. People had just received us for the first time and were excited to share feedback and ask questions. It was clear we had a bright future here! Days like that are repeated, in some form, every time we enter a new community, and it’s energizing and rewarding for our team after all the hard work that goes into growth.
Aside from Community Impact, what have you read recently? LL: I’ve leaned into podcasts. Anything by Malcolm Gladwell or Adam Grant is on my “must listen to” list. Email newsletters are booming for CI; why should readers subscribe? LL: Who doesn’t want to be the smartest and most informed person in their neighborhood?! We hear from our subscribers that the Morning Impact’s quick, simple content pieces fuel their day with awareness. The emails are really useful and help them feel connected.
How do you spend your free time in the area? LL: It’s changed over the years as my husband and I age. We used to go out almost every weekend to hear live local music at all the fun venues around town. Nowadays it’s youth sports fields and children’s theater with the kids. We’re sporty and artsy, and DFW has so much to offer.

co ee—that’s the last thing you want to start your day with,” Shattles said. The new seats will make it easier to avoid situations like that, he added. DART vehicles began receiving new vinyl seating in May, and the process is expected to be completed in Novem- ber, according to a DART news release. Swapping fabric cushions with vinyl ones is “not a quick process,” Shattles said. The agency has set up a “con- veyor system” for buses to swap cloth seats out with vinyl ones when they pull into a station. The process takes about 30-45 minutes per bus, and the agency has a eet of 163 vehicles. The change does not include DART’s electric buses, which already have vinyl seats. DART is using on-board contract cleaning personnel to remove trash and debris aboard light rail vehicles throughout the day. Buses receive nightly cleaning, Shattles said.
Dallas Area Rapid Transit is replac- ing 34,000 fabric seat cushions with new vinyl ones across its bus eet. The change is meant to ensure a cleaner and more comfortable expe- rience for passengers, spokesperson Gordon Shattles said. “The long-term goal of this is to make sure we have a very clean system for all of our riders,” Shattles said. “A lot of folks were worried after COVID[- 19], [but] we want to make sure that our riders have a safe, ... clean and e ective ride.” Previously, workers would remove dirty cloth seats in the evening and replace them with clean ones. Shattles said the vinyl seats will be wiped clean throughout the day. “I know as a passenger, when you come inside [a bus] where someone spilled their co ee but it’s blended in so you sit down in a pile of

people motivated to skate. We have so many genres in skating, a new person can come in and be over- whelmed,” Peitzner said. “We ask them as many questions as possible to get them into the right skate for what they want to achieve.” With the bene t of hindsight, Peitzner said he realizes that when he was 10 years old, rolling around on his rst pair of inline skates, he was setting out on a pivotal adventure. “I found community in skating—a place I t in,” he said. “In skating, there’s no coach; you are mainly self- taught. That proved bene cial for the shop because I learned how to build my own website. I barely graduated high school, but the moment I wanted to pursue running a business, I learned everything I needed to do, and it turned out pretty good.”
Buoyed by the popularity of the sport, Peitzner eventually started Carriers Clothing, a clothing brand for skaters. However, when he was at skate parks, skaters continually asked him where he got his skates, and he told them about his friend who owned a skate shop in Peru. “One day, my friend from Peru said, ‘Start a skate shop,’” Peitzner said. “He gave me all his wholesale contacts. I contacted them, and I started my business with $1,000.” The business started online in 2017, progressed to a mobile business then to a brick-and-mortar location on K Avenue in Plano in 2018. In Novem- ber 2022, due to increased volume, he moved his business across the street to a larger location, 1420 K Ave. “When the amount of interest started going up, I was too afraid to

Francis said she feels lucky to have carved out this new career path. “I’m learning that I’m not too old to learn something new,” she said. “I’m 62, and I hope people won’t be afraid to try something new.” She said she feels skills she honed as a former teacher, such as storytell- ing, have been bene cial. “I get to be their entertainment for a little bit and make them happy,” Francis said.
Lone Star Food Tours, said she wasn’t looking for a new career when she took a food tour with her daughter in Dallas, but that is exactly what she found. “It was while on the tour I thought, ‘This is fun; I could do this,’” she said. Soon after the tour, Francis approached her longtime friend Stephanie Baldwin to see if she’d like to be her business partner. Baldwin was intrigued with the idea, and the duo started researching the concept by taking food tours. Lone Star Food Tours opened in 2022 with its rst tour in downtown Plano.

News from Plano ISD & Plano
District raises employee pay, starting salaries for teachers
Closed captioning to be included on all city televisions PLANO All public-facing televisions in Plano will now have closed captioning on. What happened: Plano City Council unanimously voted to adopt a reso- lution that will require all city-owned televisions to have closed captioning turned on during its May 22 meeting. The resolution also encourages local businesses to do the same. How we got here : The resolution was introduced after Meryl Evans, a deaf Plano citizen, asked whether all public-facing televisions could have closed captioning on. Quote of note: “The biggest barrier for me as a deaf citizen is communi- cation,” Evans said at the meeting. “Having closed captions in public spaces improves communication and inclusion.”
WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING
A 3% pay increase for all Plano ISD district employees was approved.
Increasing
$60,000 Teacher starting salary
PLANO ISD New teachers in Plano ISD will see a higher starting salary, and all district employees are set for a 3% raise after the approval of a new compensation plan.

The adjustments were made to remain competitive with the local job market, according to a news release from the district. The breakdown: The new plan outlined raises and other pay changes for the 2023-24 school year, including: • A 3% pay increase for all district employees • Increasing starting salary for teach- ers with a bachelor’s degree and no

$62,000 Teacher with a master’s degree starting salary $315-$330 Monthly health insurance contributions $15 Support staff starting pay (hourly) $2,000-$5,000 Stipends for special education teachers, bilingual teachers, school nurses and behavioral specialists
