Student handbook amendment. The board amended language on page 25 of the student handbook to clarify the district’s attendance‑recovery process. Miss Carrasco explained the addition would require a final outreach effort—attempting to schedule a meeting with parents or guardians using contact information in Skyward—before referring cases to the judge for review. Miss Carrasco said the intent is to “partner with parents” and make a final preventive effort prior to court filing.

Motion and vote: Motion to accept the student code of conduct amendment was made by Ms. Delagerson and seconded by Ms. Bass. The board voted 5–0 in favor.

NJROTC travel approval. The board approved an out‑of‑state summer trip for the Plainview High School NJROTC planned to include stops in Raton, N.M., and Glenwood Springs, Colorado, with student activities such as gondola rides, hikes and academic tasks. The trip is expected to include approximately 38 students, two instructors, a female chaperone and district transportation; the cost will be covered by NJROTC funds.

Motion and vote: Motion by Linda Legarza, second by Ms. Salazar. Approved 5–0.

Security cameras and data drops. The board authorized a contract to install 56 additional cameras and associated data drops at eight campuses to address coverage gaps (for example, the high‑school auditorium) and to improve incident review capability. District staff said the purchase will be made with School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) grant funds; staff also noted a future server upgrade (micro‑purchase) would add analytics capabilities. The proposal includes a small number of cameras with audio capability at the high school only.

Motion and vote: Motion by Ms. Bass, second by Ms. Ellis. Approved 5–0.

Consensus agenda approval. The board approved the consent/consensus agenda from the Feb. 11 meeting by unanimous vote.

Closed session notice. Trustees announced a brief closed session under the Texas Government Code §551.074 for personnel matters following the public portion of the meeting.

\"Our mission is to surround all of our students with the community of support to empower them to stay in school to achieve in life and in school as well,\" Terrell said during a presentation to the board on March 13. She described ACE as a grant‑funded program (funding referenced as \"TX 21\" in materials) that serves Central Elementary and Plainview Junior High and that the program aims for communication, commitment and consistency.

Terrell outlined services and hours. The program runs before and after school—staff are present from about 7 a.m. and again 4–6 p.m. Monday through Friday—and offers high‑quality tutoring, homework help, targeted interventions, career exposure (including esports), clubs (crochet, chess), SEL activities and a licensed professional counselor for SEL work.

Program outcomes. Terrell said data from past years shows increased grade promotion rates and fewer absences; she estimated a 2–3 percentage‑point rise in test scores at the campus level in the most recent year and said the program met the grant’s attendance requirement of roughly 45 days. She also said ACE supports family engagement with monthly events and uses parent and student surveys to design programming.

Student perspective. A student who spoke through the presentation described hands‑on activities and journal writing as helpful to focus and to express concerns. \"Social emotional learning is learning how to communicate, how to behave, how to act around others and yourself,\" the student said, adding that the program made it easier to talk with parents about needs.

Funding and scale. Terrell said the ACE program is grant‑funded and that the ACE network serves 42 school districts in the region. She asked the district to continue the partnership that places the program at Plainview campuses.

No board action was requested at the meeting; the presentation was on the agenda as an informational item.","Chantel Terrell of the ACE after‑school program briefed the Plainview ISD board on program services, grant funding, hours and early outcomes including higher promotion rates, reduced absences and social‑emotional learning supports.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6635213,"Plainview ISD trustee describes TASB advocacy trip, warns of potential impacts from educational savings accounts",1306,764000,2070000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2645685-9ec0b811d4bdf45dae3084999206c49c&start=764&end=2070","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2645685-9ec0b811d4bdf45dae3084999206c49c/thumbnail_764000.jpg","/articles/6635213/Texas/Plainview-ISD-trustee-describes-TASB-advocacy-trip-warns-of-potential-impacts-from-educational-savings-accounts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635213-ccd78a156ad6aa17799bdd4dc33839c8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140865&Signature=XNKouL6JuV8Y4PncJ-6kUanfnaDYLIGpYuZW5pkfdHGnewp8Lc1EPt~Iv1gjiSd~KakUq8VyBZ-nW6g52f6xJ-nEHnZzGzpD7XrMqgs3UOQzBYFPGcZLDFMIPdoNpoWEwlwfT3M2kyG72yya6YzKeqS4-MNP1yI4nK0AfX-Sm5xDo-BtFGLz96PzBJu02aqlWVlWMkpGkqMX6WEORIbsFXizEESIVBwtmkQ~wnHjBkg5dQozBHSlRW7nyPsStyXHIa2alu~9G0h6v2G78V~ZAdRkjwPIJl6gvlIHxHrEcX4T1R2Ya1uUEd2vjqG29ch1njuuA6Y7ilFm1qUL9MfymQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustee Sylvia Dela Garza said she joined other trustees in Austin to meet with legislators and TASB staff on March 13 to advocate for Plainview ISD students and to learn how pending bills could affect the district.

\"House Bill 3 is the one that's ESA, and that's called the educational savings account,\" Trustee Sylvia Dela Garza said. \"To me, it's a . . . we call it the billionaires' trust fund.\" She summarized the benefit levels discussed at TASB sessions as about $2,000 for some families not enrolled in private school and roughly $10,000–$11,000 for those enrolled in private schools, as she reported the figures during her board report.

Gist of the trip: why it matters. The trustee said TASB provided a legislative update, including status on the 89th legislative session and specific bills affecting public education. She and other trustees received instruction on how to meet with legislators and relay district priorities; she said legislators tend to listen when trustees visit their offices.

Details from the presentation. Dela Garza said TASB director Dax Gonzalez and current and former lawmakers briefed trustees on the bills and taught trustees to prepare concise, evidence-based messages for office visits. She described hearing differing perspectives from speakers in Austin: one speaker portraying vouchers as inevitable and another—Representative James Talarico, she reported—urging continued advocacy against vouchers.

Dela Garza emphasized several concerns she raised while advocating: that large voucher-like educational savings accounts could reduce funding for public schools, enable private schools to select students (potentially excluding students with higher needs), and increase homeschooling in ways that could shift underprepared students back onto public campuses later. She said her advocacy included asking legislators for discretionary funding rather than time-limited money that would create pay cliffs for teachers once short-term allocations end.

On scale and constituency. Dela Garza said she represented Plainview ISD but also advocated on behalf of students in nine counties and 27 smaller schools she serves through other work, and she encouraged trustees to use stories and evidence, not arguments, when meeting legislators.

What the board record shows. Dela Garza’s report was delivered during the trustees’ reports portion of the March 13 meeting; no formal action or vote resulted from the report itself. The board did not take a position on specific bills during the meeting.

Looking ahead. Dela Garza encouraged trustees and community members to contact legislators and to continue advocacy based on factual, campus-level examples about how proposals might affect students, special education services and staffing.

","Trustee Sylvia Dela Garza reported on a Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) trip to Austin where trustees met legislators, received training on advocacy and discussed House Bill 3 (educational savings accounts), Senate Bill 26 (teacher pay) and related funding questions.","actionData","errors"]
