Smith said she has raised the matter with campus administrators after observing her granddaughter\u0000s classroom on Feb. 6 and meeting with the principal on Feb. 28. She told the board the teacher continued to make TikTok videos that were not educational and included students\u0000names; she described the content as \"not educational videos\" and said that when her granddaughter learned she might be removed from the classroom she \"started crying hysterically and uncontrollably.\"

Trustees and staff responded on the record that the matter had been forwarded to the superintendent for further handling. The board chair told Smith the superintendent had been sent the complaint and would address her concerns; the transcript records the chair saying, \"He will be addressing your concerns,\" and later directing Smith to wait for the superintendent to return her call. The parent said the principal said the teacher would be removed from the classroom on Wednesday; the transcript records that statement but does not state whether that step was carried out.

Board policy and the speaker instructions announced at the start of public forum limited discussion of specific student-discipline or personnel matters to administrative channels; the presiding officer reminded the speaker the complaint had been forwarded to the superintendent and could not be discussed in detail in public session. The transcript does not provide the district\u0000s policy number on social-media use or a staff response timeline.

No formal board action on this complaint was recorded during the meeting; the transcript shows the superintendent had been notified and staff indicated they would follow up with the parent outside the public meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cedar Hill ISD Regular Meeting\tApr 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the citizen forum a parent said a teacher was making TikTok videos with students that included names and non-educational content; the parent said campus-level complaints had not produced a satisfactory remedy and the superintendent was notified.","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},6058660,"Cedar Hill ISD board approves Blue Cross Blue Shield for employee health coverage",265,1305000,1570000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3296958-a29547d6bb7deca703d7fcdf4ecd9c53&start=1305&end=1570","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3296958-a29547d6bb7deca703d7fcdf4ecd9c53/thumbnail_1305000.jpg","/articles/6058660/Texas/Cedar-Hill-ISD-board-approves-Blue-Cross-Blue-Shield-for-employee-health-coverage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6058660-52664321ae7468e9203ef16324bd9588/orig.mp4?Expires=1770934587&Signature=bZ35~r0ODEYUg4AHnL7QyANsEVEEpMA3ZtppBuQJkka9Z1Tkmm1KAouA0EEWkhsZhs37r1cU1TYdrbBeDJik7iHyQlF5LS-AfWGBegBG57jBjn4TJ~m6K5aMloM0jqQpi-vgIqJ3yjTxSrXA9mHF-AL~fpsv3Cgu51J35ZZgoVIUNgaJTPSTby5QvrWOcvAMDcjzrJZchYY6GoZSj9NiaLqAPr0JJwXozHtANvLqjnfZHZaDaDiOhoaFPGiW6CQO5AaOD8l1PeeXO9ICbni9OOAHlOflwAvw6~ZtdhRCoZCu~PcAykH5THb984nMSUeNSpMqJFg1fSYMJ2iblOqbVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cedar Hill ISD Board of Trustees approved the district\u0000s recommendation to contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield for employee health insurance, following an earlier presentation by Gallagher benefits consultants. The recommendation was presented during the meeting and the board adopted the staff recommendation by motion and second.

Jacqueline West, identified in the meeting as chief financial officer for Cedar Hill ISD, summarized the staff recommendation and said the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan offers improved coverage and a broader in-network provider network while keeping costs reasonable compared with other options presented at the prior meeting. \"And the coverage is going to be much better as well as the, providers that are in network,\" West said.

A motion to approve Blue Cross Blue Shield was made and seconded; Trustee Gail Sims moved the motion and Dr. Lester Singleton seconded it (the meeting transcript identifies the names associated with the motion and second). The board voted to approve the recommendation; the transcript records the motion and a statement indicating the motion carried without recorded opposition during that item.

The transcript does not include the contract start date, premium rates, employee cost-share amounts, or the plan document attached to the award; those specifics were provided to the board at a prior meeting by Gallagher, the transcript states. The district indicated the recommendation reflects a comparison of cost and network access presented earlier.","The board approved staff\u0000s recommendation to select Blue Cross Blue Shield for employee health insurance; the change follows a prior presentation by Gallagher and was approved unanimously on the consent of movers and seconders recorded in the meeting.",{"_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},6058664,"Cedar Hill ISD board accepts superintendent—s voluntary retirement agreement",161,1400000,1561000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3296958-a29547d6bb7deca703d7fcdf4ecd9c53&start=1400&end=1561","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3296958-a29547d6bb7deca703d7fcdf4ecd9c53/thumbnail_1400000.jpg","/articles/6058664/Texas/Cedar-Hill-ISD-board-accepts-superintendents-voluntary-retirement-agreement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6058664-9ad882558bdfa0334ebe6e5114a055a9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770934587&Signature=ZrbZUhrZDeWTHb6VXoOof00RHv2O-O2N5C2rqd-IC8QY53QIkdXqMI9FsIEnu8rWi1iGBezcPakv06xV6V7FttFLlqi8hASVMNCeAfYUdRj5rFDQibEqOl54K6IN112yNvKKIjvn8ziomdCDmU4Lpk6fh-M2NxAGnPTZsuE9n8zh9GSETTN1y7ua6uY6O-rH7coG6-lXxdnAfjmUZsJtM8CPvSTqPkqPtzgJGiC3eL86h~weloU5XXT5NLjatn0xq0UxFFP3ZJsuGqYTMbyZSx-~0Y5qfF-MPLSupHE-uq695tVKSLwEGfFVyFIOybslsWpwiVEYboT2bDWORcN9WA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cedar Hill ISD Board of Trustees voted to accept the voluntary retirement agreement of the district\u0000s superintendent, a motion moved by Trustee Ramona Ross Bacon and seconded by Trustee Carmen Morgan.
