A trustee moved and another seconded approval of the 2025–26 targeted improvement plans for campuses in school improvement; the motion passed by voice vote.

The board then approved the 2025–26 instructional calendar (option B). Presenters noted the calendar was adjusted to align a biweek (bye week) during football season with the fall break; staff also flagged pending state-level discussion in Austin about a possible change to a later school start date, which could require an amendment to the calendar if legislation passes.

The board completed the second reading and approval of TASB policy update 124, which the district said covers intellectual property, employee standards of conduct, curriculum design, special programs, student welfare and community relations. Board members took no recorded roll-call vote in the public transcript; the motion passed by voice vote.

Finally, the board approved the consent agenda by motion and second. The meeting then recessed for a facilities committee meeting and subsequently adjourned into closed session as permitted by the Texas Government Code.

No roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the transcript; all approvals were noted by voice votes or general assent.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","February 25, 2025 Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At its Feb. 24 meeting the Corsicana ISD Board of Trustees approved four action items by voice vote: the 2025–26 targeted improvement plans, the 2025–26 school calendar (option B), TASB policy update 124 (second reading), and the consent agenda.","taxTitle","CORSICANA, School Districts, Texas","taxId",38523,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6662112,"Corsicana ISD launches facilities committee; consultant WRA outlines capacity, repairs and timelines",0,703000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2399500-aa0459fa49c55eb316d78b2c5692e8d9&start=703&end=703","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2399500-aa0459fa49c55eb316d78b2c5692e8d9/thumbnail_703000.jpg","/articles/6662112/CORSICANA/School-Districts/Texas/Corsicana-ISD-launches-facilities-committee-consultant-WRA-outlines-capacity-repairs-and-timelines","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6662112-6c674a4ac752484546602e46114a5e24/orig.mp4?Expires=1771196917&Signature=BILKvAKcmoKcCEA2ChRXoZiARZOk-MOm9I8S6o1H3ZYa8-um6DJaln0YEV0bXUwe-Go5KFH4dK6qn~kLZu3g0dTaj4zb36Ocxb6laIngAdYLxc5SLZ8EVCF3TeRC8-Y5M-OmHU8ANSytfOE3qkP8wnC0ccbRFnwJ84~kv32PI4izmvCMBN4aOVdLdegSIgGthXYxtvKNmbXIJ-qUo04OVi3PoqfUriWkWIszQA3uOAf-ZPmsIcy3-OLMaHwyhs5QtLmnr2NcQv~bYPpO3xSo8DZckmU59eXlKDisTZSUKlEHFWLD9DtNTsROlr1LqZTaZbKl2x2BliL03YHP38qhvw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Corsicana ISD convened its new facilities planning committee Feb. 24 and heard a presentation from WRA, the district’s facilities consultant, that outlined building conditions, capacity concerns and a timeline for developing a districtwide facilities plan.

Superintendent Stephanie Howe opened the meeting, calling the committee “the beginning of a lot of planning for our district,” and asked members to serve as community ambassadors who will gather input and prioritize needs. Howe said the committee will meet roughly monthly for four sessions, with the next meeting scheduled for March 17.

Consultants from WRA described the committee’s charge: assess existing facilities, review financial data and demographic projections, develop a prioritized list of needs and wants tied to educational goals, and present findings and recommendations to the board. WRA emphasized transparency and public-facing materials, noting a committee website will publish presentations and materials.

An architect from WRA reviewed site visits to district campuses. Key findings cited in the presentation included capacity constraints and storage issues across multiple campuses, ongoing HVAC and roofing costs, plumbing and restroom needs at the high school, and exposed conditions at the agricultural facility that limit animal housing. The WRA team recommended prioritizing repairs and capacity solutions, and advised the committee that specific construction costs will not be known until design documents are completed and projects are bid; initial bond planning will rely on budget estimates rather than final numbers.

WRA staff outlined the planning steps: a demographic and capacity study, assessment of facility and infrastructure needs, discussion of school finance and bond capacity, and development of potential solutions with cost estimates for committee prioritization. The consultant recommended the committee decide a consensus threshold (for example, 80–85%) to move recommendations forward, while reminding members that the board retains final decision authority.

Committee members introduced themselves and included district staff, trustees and community volunteers. WRA said it will provide drone scans and documentation of buildings and will return with demographic analysis and cost discussions at upcoming meetings. Howe encouraged members to visit campuses on the offered tour and to return March 17 for the committee’s next meeting.","At a Feb. 24 committee kickoff, Corsicana ISD and consultant WRA reviewed district facility conditions, highlighted high school capacity and building-age concerns, and outlined a multi-meeting process toward a facilities plan and potential bond recommendation.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6662116,"Corsicana ISD board approves targeted improvement plans; district to pursue Bluebonnet OER for elementary ELA",224,232000,456000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2399500-aa0459fa49c55eb316d78b2c5692e8d9&start=232&end=456","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2399500-aa0459fa49c55eb316d78b2c5692e8d9/thumbnail_232000.jpg","/articles/6662116/CORSICANA/School-Districts/Texas/Corsicana-ISD-board-approves-targeted-improvement-plans-district-to-pursue-Bluebonnet-OER-for-elementary-ELA","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6662116-463439a9a715c623359f64e4f0bf40ac/orig.mp4?Expires=1771196917&Signature=DWbYN156wNuWxPWypIEIroWb0HqHpR-ZFlTCckvTezpgq9HbpVlJ6VfP7qHgrHElIs8B8KssZCrEcSD53UsRVvBgn-cYo3Wvtlev7kVNoLDB0Z3uzJZkyRdmj~OPaKu1uWe8MwrgJfVpDnl0cftDi8uQybS9GhK-Ukoa8MoesjZWKC86jVELw6GSme2nDTZBdQhHwq74aZQIzE5CcQicrDSiz0Z-ubV~oDrTHwi57bKAIuN-Cf2ZeX2R4Q65ounsK2ySM4zNhqccWczql3~Zmwhjas4wjsYcOmuG9eEVP5R0uU82ZjiH61Sly7BGts7lKFrCDHG9jUpzCKU4yAA5yw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Corsicana ISD Board of Trustees approved targeted improvement plans for campuses on the district’s school improvement list at its Feb. 24 meeting, endorsing instructional-leadership supports through Texas Instructional Leadership (TEAL) and signaling a curriculum change for elementary English language arts pending final approvals.

District presenters told the board the improvement strategy for the affected elementary, middle and high school campuses centers on instructional leadership development through TEAL, a Region 12 support program. The TEAL program will provide a coach for principals and reading and math specialists who visit campuses several times per year to work with principals, coaches and teachers on observation-feedback cycles, coaching, lesson planning and evidence-based instructional practices.

The district said it will continue using the State Board of Education–approved STEMscopes math curriculum at elementary campuses for 2025–26. For English language arts at the elementary level, district staff reported that a newly awarded grant will fund adoption of Bluebonnet Learning, an open-education-resource curriculum. Staff said the Bluebonnet adoption will be included in the targeted improvement plan but will require a subsequent TEKS certification and final board approval, likely in March.

Presenters also outlined plans for secondary campuses: Corsicana High School and the middle school will employ Region 12 consultants, expand common PLC (professional learning community) time, sharpen PLC goals (particularly at the middle school), add EOC remediation courses within a multi-tiered support system, and implement coaching cycles with actionable feedback and walkthroughs tied to data.

Board action came after the presentation. A board member moved to approve the 2025–26 targeted improvement plans and the motion passed by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.

The board’s approval allows campus teams to proceed with the strategies described, with final curricular adoption for elementary ELA contingent on the March return for TEKS certification and formal board action.","The Corsicana ISD Board of Trustees approved targeted improvement plans for campuses in improvement status, endorsing Texas Instructional Leadership (TEAL) supports and noting a newly awarded grant to adopt Bluebonnet Learning for elementary English language arts pending TEKS certification.","actionData","errors"]
