Safety and discipline: Resident Michael Conway urged the board to increase consequences after a reported violent incident at a high school in which an adult was injured. He said he had not seen criminal charges and asked the district to take a tougher stance on discipline and on-site accountability. The board chair and administration responded that the incident was handled and that student confidentiality limits what the district can release publicly; they also clarified the adult involved was the principal, not a teacher.

DEI: Conway also urged the board to end diversity, equity and inclusion work, calling DEI \"divisive.\" His comments were delivered during public comment and reflect individual opinion; the board did not take immediate policy action during the meeting.

Accountability and investigations: Another public commenter, who identified a campaign labeled \"Justice for Janice,\" criticized the district’s prior reporting history and asked about independent investigations into misconduct. The speaker said he had searched TEA reporting portals and claimed limited results for earlier years. The board did not announce an immediate new independent investigation during the meeting; administrators noted the district takes misconduct and complaint processes seriously.

Petition for 466 homes: A separate speaker (Charles) asked trustees to support an upcoming petition to reassign 466 homes from Denton ISD to Prosper ISD so property tax revenue would go directly to Prosper ISD. He described a historical attempt at a land swap and said the current effort is a debt‑allocation petition; Charles asked the board to support the petition when it arrives for consideration.

The board did not take action on these public‑comment items at the meeting; administrators reiterated that personnel and student‑conduct matters are handled confidentially and directed the public to formal grievance channels for specific employee complaints.","At the Feb. 26 public‑comment period, speakers called for stricter consequences after a high‑school violence incident, asked the district to remove DEI work, demanded independent investigations tied to earlier misconduct allegations, and asked for board support for a petition to reassign 466 homes to Prosper ISD from Denton ISD.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6304876,"Students ask Prosper ISD to add heifer (HEPA) program to expand scholarships and year‑round instruction",392,3480000,3872000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2453056-f758ee9ae1b07fec31c7c57a53030c5a&start=3480&end=3872","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2453056-f758ee9ae1b07fec31c7c57a53030c5a/thumbnail_3480000.jpg","/articles/6304876/Texas/Students-ask-Prosper-ISD-to-add-heifer-HEPA-program-to-expand-scholarships-and-yearround-instruction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304876-186ba02f5fe23d7dbf3bbc924e40e87d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770985729&Signature=Mnc2I2g8gcglcBowIutkIZCFOZBJImdmQjV~0K8vF4P21Q5JAu7gml4LFsAdjWH4IgWUO0sHYDDYwXUGdAAt8~AKU~UUN~-KBNJHntQ2Eb1rhM5ViO3QrmfE8GDDlxD8YQ~BKXX2hdOLUp7NLa8KLdFIiITbpdI93D9NtGKt3RpSNsaLDH3n8yjxRxUDsk0cK1T0YsKX3ua7OeAnzsSppArkeK8jgsGCrTpqVIAI6yKSt5O1hDk~KksbFtaJBDDbQA7hPMaHNKYS0M1hbwYFHrt4jk7q70fLiIlwNINiKWGuLmISH14YU7L8MZOt6Aep4dPCqzs5hZ8~CwqRQEfxjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Two student FFA members told the board Feb. 26 they want Prosper ISD to add a heifer (HEPA) program to the district’s agricultural offerings to increase scholarship and leadership opportunities.

\"A heifer is a two‑year program ... it's more cost effective because you're buying one animal,\" said Caleb Brown (Walnut Grove student), who described how catching a calf at the Fort Worth Stock Show can produce a $500 purchase certificate and lead to scholarship opportunities. Brown and fellow student Evan Authore (Prosper High School, FFA chapter secretary) said their teams already have breeding livestock for species other than cattle but lack a district program for heifers.

The students asked the board to consider operational concerns administrators raised previously—transportation to shows, staff time, and an estimated $10,000–$12,000 district cost—and proposed offsets including parent donations and sponsor support. Authore said the district is planning for two ag teachers per species next year, which he said could eliminate additional teacher‑absence concerns if staffing is allocated across steers and heifers.

The students also argued a heifer program produces longer-term student relationships with animals (show as a heifer year one and as cow/calf pair year two) and can open additional scholarship streams for future students.

The board did not take immediate action during the meeting; the students’ request was heard during the public‑comment period.","Two students, Caleb Brown and Evan Authore, asked the board to permit a heifer program (HEPA) in Prosper ISD’s agricultural program, saying it would increase scholarship opportunities and better align with existing breeding livestock on district property. They offered ideas to offset projected district costs with sponsorships and parent funding.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6304881,"Prosper ISD presents 2023–24 Texas Academic Performance Report and counseling updates; district reports strong scores and program expansions",1238,1401000,2639000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2453056-f758ee9ae1b07fec31c7c57a53030c5a&start=1401&end=2639","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2453056-f758ee9ae1b07fec31c7c57a53030c5a/thumbnail_1401000.jpg","/articles/6304881/Texas/Prosper-ISD-presents-202324-Texas-Academic-Performance-Report-and-counseling-updates-district-reports-strong-scores-and-program-expansions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304881-fbfe3da3a859a96d9d35c034e840f928/orig.mp4?Expires=1770985729&Signature=eVTjGPCDb6LDKSC3KFOZrsnE2L1u1p0N7UYS9Yfn3DQwBx8n66~scPvFAdGkA7i8aZUDGu7qJSm0JCa82dy~c8rK4h0byVCPIgFdpQh6DTG-qcfe4P3ijEJR-P1b9tzwONQyE3O1cPI5jCcAdflytf0Bfi-~vToEH4IxPK8YkqwcjTY1zwpP0VVzhDPNZtbVwC7J-U6eL12TlHCu6YwlA3wqfZ-m0RMFKE-16YUiphcnSRha0~3dMPM9sP3Hv3QVvJV7G07HizUQvaNEbdLMGR2coY-9dpzxmVYDuSehJv1EMqlqGi1~MoiWWToGdboHzI2WCJ2a7bKzh4rrPgzkmQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Prosper ISD administrators presented the district’s 2023–24 Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) and accompanying counseling updates at the Feb. 26 board meeting, telling trustees the district outperformed regional and state averages in multiple subject areas and is expanding supports to increase college, career and military readiness (CCMR).

Dr. Phan (presenter) told trustees the TAPR data reflect assessments from the prior school year and earlier graduating cohorts. She said district results were strong across subjects: in English language arts 92% of students achieved \"approaches\" or higher, 77% achieved \"meets\" or higher, and 40% reached the highest level, \"master.\" For mathematics, 87% scored \"approaches\" or higher, 64% \"meets\" or higher and 32% \"master.\" Administrators said the district again outperformed state and regional averages at all performance levels.

On accountability: administrators told the board that the district’s A–F accountability rating and distinction designations are pending release because of a lawsuit between the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and some districts.

Financials and compliance: the administration said the district received a \"superior\" rating in the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) and emphasized accurate student coding and attendance as central to state funding through PEIMS reporting.

College and career readiness: the district noted TEA’s CCMR target recently rose (administrators cited a move from a 60% target to an 88% target). To raise CCMR and reduce remedial needs, Prosper ISD added college-prep course options for seniors and is administering the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) items in English 3 and Algebra 2 so students can demonstrate readiness before graduating.

Counseling and safety supports: the counseling update said all campuses are now in compliance with counselor time-allocation requirements, enabling counselors to spend a larger share of time in direct student services. Counselors have logged more than 10,000 student interactions in Skyward this year, administrators said. The district described Hope Squad (a peer-led suicide prevention program) and TCHAT (Texas child health access through telemedicine), a free telemedicine counseling option for students; administrators invited the public to Hope Week activities and the Hope Walk on March 29.

Postsecondary tracking: administrators said they are monitoring graduate enrollment using state data and the National Student Clearinghouse; they noted the Prepare to Prosper program affects tracking and that Prosper is capturing higher percentages of out-of-state enrollments than initially shown by state data.

What this means: district leaders said the combined academic, counseling and college-readiness strategies aim to raise student outcomes and postsecondary readiness; trustees heard a mix of data points, program descriptions and next steps for implementation.","Administration presented the district’s 2023–24 Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR), highlighting above-state academic outcomes, a 'superior' Financial Integrity rating, expanded college-prep supports including TSIA testing, and increases in counseling services and Hope Squad participation.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6304886,"Board approves $14.25 million for Reynolds Middle School phase 3 renovation",381,3028000,3409000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2453056-f758ee9ae1b07fec31c7c57a53030c5a&start=3028&end=3409","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2453056-f758ee9ae1b07fec31c7c57a53030c5a/thumbnail_3028000.jpg","/articles/6304886/Texas/Board-approves-1425-million-for-Reynolds-Middle-School-phase-3-renovation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304886-6f266eaaa5748b53908b83c871750727/orig.mp4?Expires=1770985729&Signature=DqWcikIQs0KD7J34anNvKfHrzcTUroOXWB6Q-zY9NNxa1CXafWsltxQYjwfI6vB8u6K~12BGj~mJqKLsSwJ~G9s4LZcnzteBvVAEOBKd~v1hP14uWnSmBJSx0ogjfWGaomcWstoF3kREaaqz4jSzKy0zdF8fzrurN8VeYDI9MIHgWQjCZvbcOxXkrKQnLa0saPlBIwLb4nffmEn2ABENmJlrWTPJeFSAa-jkFV2yXmAIeC31Glga~uHS07fRvqUBPry~Uz-Pb7HpcYjqipQs9UdS70xVVr6ppj0atL86iqjLEdSVwC7k2uoFMAKYqjmRGm3WxvuXkqfV6rv3ViyaXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prosper ISD Board of Trustees voted Feb. 26 to approve a guaranteed maximum price of $14,246,439 for phase 3 of the Reynolds Middle School renovation, covering a full classroom-area renovation in two building sections.

Dr. Bradley presented the project and explained the district will add portables and swing an entire wing into those temporary classrooms so the district can renovate while school is in session. He told the board that Reynolds currently houses about 1,700 students and that, unlike Rogers, Reynolds is not expected to see as sharp an enrollment drop when new middle schools open, so the district must phase work differently.

\"This phase 3 for $14,246,439 is the complete renovation of Area 3 and Area 1 of the building,\" Dr. Bradley said, describing the work as floor-to-ceiling—new flooring, ceilings, furniture and technology upgrades.

Trustees approved the motion to accept the GMP. The vote passed 6–0 with one abstention; the transcript does not specify which trustee abstained.

Background: Reynolds opened in 1999 (as a high school) with an addition in 2002; the classrooms affected have not been renovated since those earlier construction phases, according to the administration. The administration said this phase will bring 50–60% of the building to a substantially modern condition; a phase 4 will follow later to complete the program.

Next steps: Administration will execute the GMP and add portables this summer to stage construction; a later phase will be brought forward for board consideration.","Prosper ISD trustees approved a $14,246,439 guaranteed maximum price to renovate two classroom areas at Reynolds Middle School, with the district planning to use additional portables to allow staged, in‑session renovations.

Administration told the board the work will be done aggressively during the coming summer so students can return when school opens. \"This proposed to you, this guaranteed maximum price not to exceed $9,634,506,\" said Dr. Bradley, who presented the project to trustees. He said about 85,000 square feet of roof and multiple aged HVAC units will be replaced and that a small amount of library work is included because the area is accessible during the same scope of work.

The board discussed timing and enrollment. Dr. Bradley explained the district plans to complete the above-roof scope this summer and then pause further work until the 2026–27 school year, when openings of new middle schools are expected to reduce Rogers’ enrollment and make interior work feasible without displacing large numbers of students. \"Rogers has about 1,620 kids in it,\" Dr. Bradley said; he reminded trustees the building was designed for roughly 1,250.

Trustees approved the motion to accept the GMP as presented. The recorded vote was a 6–0 approval with one abstention; the transcript does not identify which trustee abstained.

The administration and construction team told the board the project will be a summer \"sprint,\" requiring an aggressive schedule once school ends to remove the existing gravel roof system and install replacements before students return.

Background: Rogers Middle School opened in February 2008. The renovation program at Rogers is one of multiple phased projects the district is running to address aging systems and capacity as enrollment has grown.

What’s next: With the board’s approval the administration may finalize the GMP contract and proceed with the permitting and summer mobilization; additional phases of renovation are expected later and will return to the board for approval.","The Prosper ISD Board of Trustees approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $9,634,506 for phase 3 of the Rogers Middle School renovation, covering roofing and HVAC replacement. Trustees voted 6–0 with one abstention after administration outlined a plan to complete the work over summer and pause further interior work until enrollment drops.","actionData","errors"]
