Maternal mortality rates on the rise in Harris County BY DANICA LLOYD & HANNAH ZEDAKER
Texas has been working to address its higher-than-average rates of maternal mortality and morbidity for several years.

Meanwhile, Cagle said he would have preferred additional trails be funded by the county’s parks budget. “While Commissioner [Cagle] is a major proponent of hike and bike trails and has considerably expanded their availability throughout Precinct 4, he voted against this measure because he believes it sets a bad precedent of diverting toll road money to projects not originally envisioned when toll roads were rst pitched to Harris County voters,” said Joe Stinebaker, Precinct 4 director of communications, in an email May 17.

Humble ISD raises starting teacher salary to $61,500
“IN A YEAR WHERE WE FEEL LIKE IT MAY BE MORE DIFFICULT TO HIRE, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE.”
BY WESLEY GARDNER
PRIORITIZING PAY Humble ISD has increased its starting teacher salary by over 13% over the past ve school years.
HUMBLE ISD Humble ISD trustees approved a compen- sation plan for the 2022-23 school year that includes 4% on-average pay raises for all sta members and $1,000 stipends for returning full-time auxiliary, child nutrition, custodial and transportation sta. During the board’s May 24 meeting, HISD Chief Financial Ocer Billy Beattie said the 4% increase, which will raise a starting teacher’s salary from $59,000 to $61,500, was necessary to keep HISD competitive. In April, HISD ocials suggested a 3% raise for all employees. Beattie said the bump up to 4% was made to avoid potential teacher shortages in 2022-23. “The 4% model helps us remain competitive [with nearby districts and] even gain a little ground,” Beattie said. “In a year where we feel like it may be more dicult to hire, we want to be able to remain competitive.” Additionally, Beattie said the 2022-23 compensation plan

STATE NEWS Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has requested the formation of two special legislative committees to investigate school safety and mass violence following a May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, which resulted in the deaths of 19 students and two teachers. In a letter sent June 1, Abbott asked Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dade Phelan to each create a special legislative committee, which will examine actions taken by previous legislatures regarding gun violence, review the resources available to local school districts and make recommendations to prevent future school shootings. According to a news release, the recommendations will surround school safety, mental health, social media, police training and rearm safety.

New Caney ISD ocials begin planning process for West Fork High School Phase 2
Lone Star College System adds online campus for fall 2022
BY WESLEY GARDNER
NEW CANEY ISD Trustees approved the process to seek out a construction company to manage Phase 2 of New Caney ISD’s West Fork High School on May 16. The $110 million campus—which was included in the district’s 2018 bond program—will open to freshmen in fall 2022. Ocials noted the campus can currently accommodate 1,350 students, and Phase 2 will expand that capacity to 2,250 students. Scott Powers, NCISD’s executive director of public relations, said the district will likely select a construc- tion company to manage Phase 2 later this summer.

LONE STAR COLLEGE SYSTEM Starting in August, the Lone Star College System will launch its eighth campus as a way for students to receive their degrees entirely online. According to an April 11 news release, the new campus was added in response to demand for virtual learning, and it has been in the works for nearly a decade. LSCS ocials said in an email that the new campus has added around $2 million to the system’s general existing budget and will launch with 40 full-time sta members from within the college system.
Construction is underway on West Fork High School.
COURTESY NEW CANEY ISD
Powers noted Phase 2 construc- tion for West Fork High School would be associated with a future bond election, though the district has no timeline on when another bond proposition might be pre- sented to the board. An estimated cost for Phase 2 construction has not yet been announced.

EXEMPTIONS EXPLAINED Houston residents who are age 65 or older or who have certain disabilities will now be eligible for a property tax exemption of $260,000. The following is an example of how the exemption would be applied to a $300,000 home.
CITY OF HOUSTON During a June 8 meeting, Houston City Council approved an ordinance that increases the property tax exemption from $160,000 to $260,000 for city residents who are age 65 or older and certain residents with disabilities. The increase is applied to the appraised value of a resident’s homestead and will go into e ect for the 2022 tax year as well as for future years. For tax purposes, a disabled resident means someone who either “can’t engage in gainful work because of physical or mental disability” or someone who is 55 years or older and blind, and is unable to work because of blind- ness,” according to the Harris County Appraisal District. Homesteads are dened as “generally the house and land used as the homeowner’s principal residence on Jan. 1 of the tax year.” An exemption allows a homeowner to reduce the appraised value of a home when calculating how much money is owed on that home in property taxes.
Exemption:
Home value:
$300,000
$260,000
$400 (tax rate) Property taxes due
$40,000 100 $400
$300,000 $260,000 $40,000

As the summer months kick o , it is important to keep these safety tips in mind. Any depth of water is dangerous. Always place a barrier around water. Drowning is often quiet and quick. Keep pools locked. Avoid putting covers on pools because children could slip underneath. Teach children to always ask permission before entering any pool, even if there are lifeguards.
