Trustee Morgan read a resolution noting that Cedar Hill ISD 's theater scholars and educators perform in notable Metroplex venues, that theater participation teaches leadership and community service, and that 35 Cedar Hill ISD scholars earned a 3.0 GPA or higher while participating in theater. The resolution was presented and approved by the board during the meeting.

Separately, athletic staff and Coach Collins addressed trustees to summarize the girls basketball season. Collins said the program organized a rigorous off-season boot camp and called the varsity group \"the team of Destiny,\" describing the team's statewide run and noting records across varsity, JV and freshman levels. Collins listed individual honors and academic recognitions, including all-district and all-region selections and a signing by Brooklyn King with Furman University. \"These girls played for each other,\" Collins said, adding that multiple players will continue at the next level.

The recognitions were ceremonial items recorded on the meeting record; no formal policy action was required.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cedar Hill ISD Regular Meeting Mar 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Trustees approved a resolution recognizing the district's theater scholars and heard a presentation honoring the girls basketball program after a historic season; individual student awards and college signings were reported.","taxTitle","CEDAR HILL ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",38350,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6070183,"Cedar Hill ISD introduces Lt.

Jones joined the Cedar Hill ISD Police Department in April 2024 after nearly 20 years with the Arlington Police Department, the board was told.

A presenter summarized Jones's background, saying she has experience in active-shooter and crowd-response teams, community policing, youth engagement and special-event planning, and that she helped implement a Walmart restorative-justice program now in use at many stores. The presenter also noted Jones's degrees and credentials: a B.A. in psychology from Texas Wesleyan University, a master's in criminology and criminal justice from the University of Texas at Arlington and candidacy for a doctoral degree; she also holds a Master Peace Officer certification.

Jones addressed trustees directly, saying she considers it \"an honor and a privilege\" to serve and thanked Chief Hawthorne for mentorship. \"I wake up every day to serve, educate, and empower,\" Jones said. She told trustees she looks forward to listening and learning and to supporting campus safety.

The introduction also included a brief list of awards and commendations from Jones's career and a note that she serves as an executive pastor at her church and has volunteered extensively in the DFW area. The board did not take separate action on the introduction; the item was recorded as part of the superintendent's report and personnel introductions.","The board heard a formal introduction of Lieutenant Jaquisha Jones, who joined the Cedar Hill ISD Police Department in April 2024 after nearly 20 years with the Arlington Police Department; she spoke about community service and youth engagement.",{"_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},6070189,"Resident urges Cedar Hill ISD to use bond funds for weapon-detection scanners at campuses",189,2088000,2277000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3060277-3443e7d8dea1913c3a32ebc43ac50421&start=2088&end=2277","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3060277-3443e7d8dea1913c3a32ebc43ac50421/thumbnail_2088000.jpg","/articles/6070189/Texas/Resident-urges-Cedar-Hill-ISD-to-use-bond-funds-for-weapon-detection-scanners-at-campuses","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6070189-3161789e5d60025e57a66961e1a7f7cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191497&Signature=B13N2N0XUwGgj3EI7Nt4ioySZ1KD2h1jarcLZJENwLB0gB3sxgtQBnoeA2iqn7TxsVOdFeYqS7a294CO28UaveIjN9qNQcQVwjoMtvEvTLMLLnTtqLSD3olt12Gl-4vlwV9q6OOElj5KPp03Y74m1FVWMBlW-UvIpa2XBq-dSwvaZ1PaL1AbHpRm5hBN0xadxw-sa8fbbjte4XpybkanBmzApR5UmLr~A810h4jpftWH3414ecrnpkyI-Y0dFQofO1kYJbJicxhQZp~DBD1klLHjbtQx8X8I8tbA9dWSUiEbN1UZVgnzo~-g1mIkbTialYzWo2LSqZArniyxpzbP0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Cedar Hill resident urged the Board of Trustees to spend recently approved bond funds on weapon-detection scanners at middle and high schools, saying such systems are effective and less costly than the district's current security staffing levels.

Shirley Daniels, who identified herself as a Cedar Hill resident of more than 23 years, told trustees she has repeatedly raised school-safety measures and urged the board to install weapon-detection scanners at every middle school and high school. \"We could use these funds that we passed the bond for to put in these weapon'detectors,\" Daniels said. She told trustees the scanners cost about \"$2,500 per month per scanner\" and said one nearby district, Mansfield, has used the technology effectively.

Daniels also cited national figures while arguing for a different allocation of safety spending: \"In the past 6 years, from 2018 to 2024, there have been 1,453 school shootings in The United States,\" she said. She added that window film planned with bond funds would not address weapons brought into schools from inside campus and urged the board to prioritize detectors.

A district official clarified that window film and stationing officers are state-unfunded mandates, saying the requirement for police officers or armed guards at every facility is a state mandate. That official framed window film as a response to unfunded state requirements rather than an independent safety choice.

The public-comment period followed board instructions that complaints about specific student discipline or personnel must be handled through administrative channels and that the forum is governed by the Texas Open Meetings Act and board policy.

Trustees did not take formal action on the resident's request during the meeting; the comment was part of the citizens'forum.","A longtime Cedar Hill resident told trustees the district should spend recently approved bond funds on weapon-detection scanners rather than window film, saying scanners are cheaper monthly and more effective at catching weapons, and cited national shooting statistics.",{"_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},6070194,"Cedar Hill ISD trustees approve Prosperity Bank depository renewal, Kim Lewis schematic design and consent agenda",30,2561000,2591000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3060277-3443e7d8dea1913c3a32ebc43ac50421&start=2561&end=2591","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3060277-3443e7d8dea1913c3a32ebc43ac50421/thumbnail_2561000.jpg","/articles/6070194/Texas/Cedar-Hill-ISD-trustees-approve-Prosperity-Bank-depository-renewal-Kim-Lewis-schematic-design-and-consent-agenda","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6070194-0f96aa0beaec53eceb266bc347deb337/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191497&Signature=mvmwdEry-vczLOvKbYYjKN985luxb~iE7Nq3E63vMy8Gn-mTYTA6R2ZqBYcJNayfzpWLF9gbYOpV08QLkTf8P0jNNxsK-OsFGE5Nuhxj6fnwwGHtuhM6W8OIKLxN8Dom5-Ixch-HE0NXM9XLlBRR38krLsoWGkAQJHvfAeKlU0T8GPKpOV5CFUgszNrrw0cOskcY5AUWt0I7sSegiNFk0BJAJlYYmnPmYDRmDR6sGTcu~Ss4-Z6WJXV2n9ii-o2V5UDBomYHpBUA3evL4qTmNDDSnPceupepHjMKFTJgv53vmG141QSiN9okAnkhRj3IMGfvccyhrRBtIdFQhiQ-kA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cedar Hill ISD Board of Trustees voted to extend its depository contract with Prosperity Bank and to proceed with schematic design for the Kim Lewis Auxiliary Service Center, and it approved the consent agenda during a regular March meeting.

The depository item was introduced by district administration as a recommendation based on cost and past experience; administration recommended extending the depository contract for the first renewal period from 07/01/2025 through 06/30/2027. The Kim Lewis Auxiliary Service Center item was presented as advancing the project to the next design phase under contract with Huckabee and Associates.

The board adjourned following routine reports and announcements.","At a March meeting, the Cedar Hill ISD Board of Trustees approved a two-year renewal of its depository contract with Prosperity Bank, authorized schematic design work for the Kim Lewis Auxiliary Service Center and adopted the consent agenda, board members said.","actionData","errors"]
