Why it matters: Bowne said about 16–17% of shared students participate in dual credit and that roughly 18% of Arlington ISD graduates attend TCC the following year. He said dual‑credit and early college work drives credential attainment — about 52% of Arlington ISD dual‑credit students earn a credential before high school graduation, according to campus data presented.

Campus investment and enrollment: Bowne said the Southeast Campus serves roughly 9,600 to 9,700 students by census and that the campus is in the final phases of a roughly $185 million investment that will add classrooms and capacity. The campus opened a Student Experience Building and other recent facilities, and Bowne said construction will provide additional classrooms and capacity to meet workforce and transfer demand.

Program strengths and priorities: Flagship programs on the Southeast Campus include culinary arts, hospitality, IT cybersecurity and a pre‑engineering transfer track; the campus also operates a long‑standing program that serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Bowne said UT Arlington is the most common transfer destination for Southeast students.

Board reaction: Trustees praised the college relationship and applauded the campus’s student success work. Several trustees recounted personal or family connections to the college and noted the partnership’s role in raising postsecondary attainment in Arlington.

Highlights: Facilities staff told trustees the district’s bond budget remains roughly $966 million and that a recent bond issuance increased cash available for facilities work. The district reported $572 million encumbered or expended to date and approximately $277 million currently available, noting several contracts in active bidding that will draw on that balance.

Construction progress and timing: Project photos and schedules showed Glaspie Field and the adjacent band hall moving toward summer completion, with furniture and finishes scheduled for June–July ahead of the school year; district staff said the turf and track work would be completed in late spring. Facilities leaders said weather had caused some delay but contractors were managing the schedule.

Site designs and the Wildman/Cravens pair: Schematic site drawings for Cravens, Wildman and Glaspie were shown. Staff said the three projects will have the same amenities but site constraints produce differences in building orientation, footprint and circulation. Officials explained some structural elements at Wildman will be reused where practical to contain costs, while Cravens’ tighter site requires a larger combined building for locker/dressing areas.

Hub participation and budget notes: The district reported HUB participation numbers fluctuate month‑to‑month; staff said recent billing on larger projects temporarily lowered the percentage but that the program continues to aim for higher participation. Facilities also discussed interest earnings and arbitrage liability associated with bond proceeds.

Board action: The consent agenda — which trustees approved 7‑0 — included awarding the construction manager‑at‑risk contracts for the Wildman and Cravens projects. Trustees asked staff to revisit aesthetic alignment among the three stadium projects as the CMAR contract proceeds.

What remains: Staff said several phase‑4 projects are in design or planning and the district will continue to spend down bond funds on smaller phase‑5 items. Facilities said the district is beginning planning conversations about future bond capacity and will provide additional financial information and facility assessments at future meetings.

Key findings: Using a benchmark assessment administered in February (a previously released STAAR exam), the district reported that third‑grade reading and math results were roughly two to three percentage points below the board’s year‑end targets. Districtwide reading and math (third grade through Algebra I) were similarly a few points short of the goals trustees set at the start of the year.

College, Career and Military Readiness (CCMR): Assistant Superintendent Dr. Natalie Lopez reported 77% of current seniors had a CCMR point as of March 24. That figure is measured on a rolling basis and district staff noted it traditionally rises during April–May as students complete AP, industry certification, dual‑credit and other pathways. Lopez cited last year’s pattern — a roughly 13‑point rise between this presentation date and the end‑of‑year total — as reason for confidence the district can reach its 90% CCMR goal.

District responses: Executive staff described a multilayered approach to accelerate learning: targeted campus support plans led by instructional facilitators, embedded teacher coaching, intentional PLCs that translate assessment data to student‑level interventions and collaboration between central curriculum staff and campus leaders. The district said it will continue interventions before STAR and the end‑of‑year assessments and highlighted concentrated work at identified campuses.

Trustees asked for context on assessment timing and the relationship between the interim benchmark and the final STAR tests; staff said the benchmark is a released STAAR item set and that students and teachers have several weeks of instruction remaining before STAAR. Trustees also asked whether current trends make the CCMR goal achievable; staff pointed to the historical year‑end increases and ongoing CCMR work as supporting the projection.

No board action was required; the report was informational.","Board received a midyear academic update showing third‑grade STAAR benchmark results slightly below end‑of‑year targets and districtwide math and science gaps; district leaders said interventions and coaching aim to close the gaps and that the CCMR senior metric is on track to meet the 90% goal.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6612884,"Arlington ISD highlights discipline reforms, reports decline in incidents and student‑led anti‑violence work",1072,2564000,3636000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2879697-1d03baedbefaed3a5803048ff67b26e5&start=2564&end=3636","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2879697-1d03baedbefaed3a5803048ff67b26e5/thumbnail_2564000.jpg","/articles/6612884/Texas/Arlington-ISD-highlights-discipline-reforms-reports-decline-in-incidents-and-studentled-antiviolence-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6612884-b9f21b79cf6265c062da264bfb34e6b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770807879&Signature=jCHVgchs1ZSnale-zIwa077y3yMepbJb9-PNehPbe-bQQjciVeitIih4jR9BFzHAsyiLo7pNwX4Lxa3rNcBa975VB4jeKXbLFFw96gnf7nqA7L9MtPd2S6nBfO7vNl0EikzAImnCtWTroo0MQpDmmnee-jsvZAvxPlweV41sWIYO81GSlgL3XAHFySjxxd2525IICJwJJEy0F2psCVehtfLURGgvFRjHBNm2-cTAhJMW8feFDysZB25OiCJF~4VT4nTl0kVuztEQn3FaNO5dcPEtTL1Ox4pfDOtB1YxjPlEwAPJprlwKw3FmLXIzX4mh~h0Ps6iNrNYhJdGh3Gk90Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Arlington ISD officials reported to the Board of Trustees Thursday that a year of focused work on behavior and discipline — including a district behavior task force, expanded Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) resources and restorative practices — has coincided with steep declines in referrals and serious incidents at many campuses.

Why it matters: The district said reducing classroom disruptions and fights frees instructional time and improves school climate. Trustees were shown comparative data the district described as a sharp drop in discipline incidents compared with prior years.

What the district presented: Assistant superintendent Dr. TJ Jarko and a team of PBIS and restorative‑practice specialists described a three‑part approach: gather teacher voice and diagnostic data; develop campus‑specific behavior support plans; and build capacity through ongoing professional learning for teachers and administrators. The district said the work is aligned to its board priority of improving safety and the staff experience.

Campus examples given to trustees:
- Goodman Elementary: PBIS specialists are working with a pre‑K classroom on morning check‑ins to teach emotional literacy; a teacher reported a student using the class language — “My cup is empty” — to request support instead of escalating to behavior that would require a referral.
- Workman Junior High: Counselors conduct daily social‑emotional learning lessons in ISS and updated mediation logs include check‑ins to monitor outcomes after interventions.
- Boyd High School: Principal Lee Jones and restorative‑practice staff described the Strather Peace Project, a student‑led non‑violence initiative that created Peace Ambassadors, marketing and event teams, and outreach activities; Jones reported a 48% reduction in violent offenses compared with the previous school year.

District data and next steps: Presenters said year‑to‑date discipline incidents have fallen markedly and that fights and other indicators have decreased substantially compared with the same period last year. Officials said they will continue to refine interventions, evaluate returns on focused investments and reassess progress in April and May before planning summer work.

Trustees praised the campus teams and the emphasis on teacher capacity. Several asked whether reduced referral totals reflected unreported incidents; district leaders said the decline is seen across referral types that historically required formal writeups, and they emphasized the work focuses on both accountability for serious behavior and proactive prevention.

No formal board action was taken; the item was presented for update and discussion.","District officials told trustees the behavior task force, PBIS and restorative practices have coincided with significant reductions in referrals and fights; principals described school‑level strategies, including a student‑led 'Strather Peace Project' at Boyd High School.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6612889,"Arlington ISD board approves turnaround plan for Sam Houston High School",941,8042000,8983000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2879697-1d03baedbefaed3a5803048ff67b26e5&start=8042&end=8983","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2879697-1d03baedbefaed3a5803048ff67b26e5/thumbnail_8042000.jpg","/articles/6612889/Texas/Arlington-ISD-board-approves-turnaround-plan-for-Sam-Houston-High-School","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6612889-05baca840bfea5a5c5804ec267ed2a0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770807879&Signature=FCk6U8wLw5p6hRDr8YEZlUZ8MN1leoNAX0fjQMkmliRDk6xs-Uc7KI2GfROb3zhPTdzSyep8OwO4tkkHMEUXgj1pMWBf2x1P13xwjM4ZZ2RSDxlt4eGnuY3qLjuXgMiHsgb2Np2N3qrX-cEUXuyIieGLwC7uCkqBKldxvXMCN4JjZ~tT1BHyFQRvoItNkzHSjRzuc2UZ1T01wOn-UQm1YcJGDvDimVfzApnrFhNKd6nL45jZ6eZsA0FjcvtcIOdB~sPZF8vLNiPN3bTPQ4T~o4FH4Mi~oUIusRRB-Vf9RancL~gyCBa7qgetEKN0R0lYoD4kZCMyLn5B5Z4ZmHsrFA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Arlington ISD Board of Trustees voted 7-0 Thursday to approve a turnaround plan for Sam Houston High School, a formal, Texas Education Agency (TEA) requirement for campuses that have been identified for comprehensive support.

District staff described the plan as rooted in boosting college, career and military readiness (CCMR), a major component of the campus’s accountability score. Assistant administrators and school leaders told trustees the campus has raised its CCMR outcomes sharply in recent years and that the plan documents strategies already underway.

Why it matters: CCMR accounts for 30% of the state’s Domain 3 metric that can trigger federal support labels. District presenters said raising CCMR outcomes directly improves the school’s accountability standing and increases students’ post‑graduation options.

Officials outlined a sequence of actions: an on‑campus diagnostic, a set of targeted interventions and monitoring steps, expanded staffing dedicated to CCMR, closer partnerships across district departments and ongoing review. District staff emphasized the work is already in place and will continue whether or not the campus exits comprehensive support this year.

“We didn’t make up these action steps just for compliance,” a district presenter said, describing systems to identify students early, guide them into pathways and track outcomes. Trustees were shown year‑by‑year CCMR trends the district said rose from roughly the low 30s to the mid‑80s percentage points over several years as campus systems matured.

Trustees moved to approve the plan on a motion by Trustee Melody Fowler, seconded by Trustee Jim Wilbanks. The vote was 7‑0.

What’s next: After board approval the plan will be submitted to TEA for review. District staff said if Sam Houston exits comprehensive support this year TEA monitoring under a turnaround plan will not continue; if the school remains identified, the plan will be implemented and monitored for the following two years.

The board’s action follows presentations from district staff and the Sam Houston leadership team that highlighted academic and programmatic gains tied to CCMR pathways.
