Ricky Mason, speaking for the Plainview Stars Special Olympics, thanked the district for providing the Bulldog Stadium track and practice facilities and told the board, \"If it wasn't for y'all's help, we wouldn't have a place to practice.\" Mason asked the board to accept public appreciation for facilities and staff.

Mariah Ramirez (identified in remarks as representing Texas Wrestling Academy) asked whether the district had scheduled a second wrestling interest meeting, asked for release of the May 1 interest survey results, and asked how survey numbers would be used to decide next steps to implement wrestling as a UIL sport. \"The community wants and needs wrestling,\" Ramirez said, and she urged the board to prioritize discussion. Ramirez noted the high-school powerlifting program began as a club and later transitioned to a UIL sport and urged a similar path for wrestling.

The board concluded the public-comment period without immediate action; staff did not announce a date for a wrestling follow-up during the public remarks. Trustees did not vote on the requests during the meeting. Clarifying details: Ramirez identified her organization as Texas Wrestling Academy and described it as a nonprofit; she said the interest survey was posted on Facebook on May 1 and asked the district to publish the numbers.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Plainview ISD Regular Board Meeting 5/15/25","oneSentenceSummary","Public commenters asked the board to prioritize discussion of starting a UIL wrestling program and to publish interest-survey results; a representative of the Plainview Stars Special Olympics team publicly thanked the district for practice facilities.","taxTitle","PLAINVIEW ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",53589,"location","Texas","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6557028,"Plainview Intermediate students win $3,000 Strong Teens Healthy Schools award; students present projects to board",337,2382630,2720000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3337213-db8c3aee069abc135a8908c49f788ddd&start=2382&end=2720","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3337213-db8c3aee069abc135a8908c49f788ddd/thumbnail_2382630.jpg","/articles/6557028/Texas/Plainview-Intermediate-students-win-3000-Strong-Teens-Healthy-Schools-award-students-present-projects-to-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6557028-0fdaf3f4492a597d1ce0353f03875fa1/orig.mp4?Expires=1776163990&Signature=SgskztIJ7QxTYgRAtEgYjhGzhpI5U0yHgaseOZX-Cuyhw0EKfMvU3qKpm-GswNQaS8t8NCLZXpK6wfRTUbWr-NLE6oevyiXwDJTlH8X9iSOgEAFT1BaOJCZLzUtdeuW4VkUnPUyeK7-MBC14~rbfCWWeM2kiorLVgf-LJRfd~E2s5l8bpV9lrl~2RyV0UppHDLmPnDinBa4LJKOiKfy40ungQ-4VGq-mtU~DXkPU2n3IiDcmlwRjtEJlEEJNbWi~iEQlrSxLQOveuEUtkqZwq2wpWGFQFleddiinFfV3dCygqPh70-Vob1nfMgO~sYh4tPBGbDClMY7VSSzncnZ65g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Plainview Intermediate fifth graders and Hill County Extension staff described the district's Strong Teens Healthy Schools program during the May 15 Plainview ISD board meeting and presented a $3,000 award they earned to improve the school environment.

Dr. Shontay Clausen, County Extension Agent for Family and Community Health, told the board the year-long program promoted civic engagement, positive youth development and cardiovascular-disease prevention. \"We equipped fifth grade scholars with the knowledge and skills to increase their physical activity and adopt healthier eating habits,\" Dr. Clausen said.

Students who participated described program activities and their proposal. Carter Jackson said his \"favorite part\" was a community-leader bingo during which students met Plainview leaders to learn how to advocate for changes. Josiah Hipolito told the board the student proposal was to add refillable water stations in hallways; \"From that, I learned how civic engagement works when students collect data and present solutions,\" he said. The board and staff accepted a ceremonial presentation of a banner to Principal Alcazar and Coach Cornette.

Staff said the program included an eight-week Walk Across Texas challenge and a staff wellness series; participating faculty and staff collectively lost 39 pounds during the program. Clarifying details: the students' proposal received a $3,000 award for Plainview Intermediate; staff added a family element and staff-wellness programming as program supplements.","County Extension and Plainview Intermediate staff described a year-long Strong Teens Healthy Schools program; students presented and said their $3,000 award will fund refillable water stations and other healthy-school proposals.",{"_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},6557033,"Plainview ISD board appoints Crinna Wood as principal of Early Learning Center, unanimous vote",1979,2653890,4633000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3337213-db8c3aee069abc135a8908c49f788ddd&start=2653&end=4633","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3337213-db8c3aee069abc135a8908c49f788ddd/thumbnail_2653890.jpg","/articles/6557033/Texas/Plainview-ISD-board-appoints-Crinna-Wood-as-principal-of-Early-Learning-Center-unanimous-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6557033-80a62d093b9fb9e59eb2b70850b1c8c2/orig.mp4?Expires=1776163990&Signature=CzGKW3b0DNL3GcBVEI99pSXmE4L1UNJMjSjr6x0lZ~FPHnHPpoIDr1q1gyX4yC4KrKjW60HPxuwpX9brMAVJ39EMH1xWoxmieq0dxOZ1JR38JP4jlXtJyoGE4Aw1F3mQAHmhw0cqe5roSLifayyA0owQPimBBexAnT7TcPGfRxfG7TIJZ7R3SYitk~XOHtD3GTNrx14CBPIXlSEcim8QmS7rRxwBfy6zPppg5wT63jNGqH~SnSzXX-i90cGMp61LE5WYkt83PQO9RIdpQw~EnVHIcf-wfUtKtzWf652SxiG~hpNauZ4d2iF6TfETmAqHgYYdAauaqSpmDoTAID9Tuw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Plainview ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on May 15 to appoint Crinna Wood as principal of the Plainview Early Learning Center.

Superintendent Dr. Sanchez introduced the item and invited Crinna Wood to address the board virtually. Wood said she currently serves as a principal in Rio Rancho near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and that she grew up in Canyon, Texas. \"I am very excited for the initiative of setting the foundation in education for this early learning center,\" Wood told trustees, describing a focus on social-emotional needs, numeracy and literacy for entering kindergarten students if approved.

After the virtual introduction, a trustee moved to approve Wood for the position and the motion received a second. The board voted 7-0 to approve the appointment. Trustees welcomed Wood and noted logistical items such as weather considerations for relocation.

Clarifying details: Wood introduced herself and referenced prior teaching and administrative experience in the Texas Panhandle and New Mexico; the vote count was 7-0. No board member asked substantive follow-up questions during the public portion; staff indicated board members could ask questions into the microphone if needed.","The board approved Crinna Wood as principal of the Plainview Early Learning Center by a 7-0 vote after a virtual introduction by the candidate and brief trustee discussion.",{"_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},6557036,"Plainview ISD awards Hillcrest Elementary demolition to Thrasher Inc.; company to take property in exchange for demolition",436,5430795,5867000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3337213-db8c3aee069abc135a8908c49f788ddd&start=5430&end=5867","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3337213-db8c3aee069abc135a8908c49f788ddd/thumbnail_5430795.jpg","/articles/6557036/Texas/Plainview-ISD-awards-Hillcrest-Elementary-demolition-to-Thrasher-Inc-company-to-take-property-in-exchange-for-demolition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6557036-6a023a23fa2519826d8cbac0bb385abc/orig.mp4?Expires=1776163990&Signature=g4gXyHD2XVj5DnfcMOatV46hWE0Frzj1UCetpjrzQUkGSZ8bYMlIIdFjMz7EbNmOuVtU7-6rILRL~UZH6DVALR3061ieq7mO1hmrloEfmHrCXoRQcidpKrbRqfwOUFcVO5FVJxh~lZhHdadAo4hMzQx0J-Uvqn-Cp0PhP9l5RUF0Zj7sHP93Z0zJaD3XyL4FsWZYY2cYYhZKR1xbgW7BhBInM9p4diV3NvZVYTCcom2Dyho60Ya2OwAF6bbj1wzgJUumDD4FxeAvjtnrxaZgsNlviE0cdzgGJ-VGttwf0u9tnfapVV5dgORFk1aiKo1Bw2qpX3rRxomvcdTjn8hhIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Plainview ISD Board of Trustees voted 7-0 on May 15 to award the demolition and disposition of Hillcrest Elementary to Thrasher Incorporated of Plainview, Texas.

District staff said the building is vandalized, in disrepair and has persistent water intrusion that motivated removal under prior bond work. The district solicited bids and received four proposals; Thrasher's alternative proposal was to demolish the building in exchange for ownership of the land. Staff stated the vacant property's land value without the building is $49,271 and that the company's proposal effectively provides demolition at that in-kind cost.

Board discussion addressed environmental and liability questions. A trustee asked whether the district would be liable for asbestos removal costs; staff replied that the district had already engaged a consultant and scheduled asbestos abatement for May 19 and that the abatement was under $50,000 and would occur regardless of the award.

Trustees said the building posed a public-safety and blight hazard because of repeated vandalism. The board approved awarding the project to Thrasher Incorporated; the motion passed 7-0.

Clarifying details from the meeting: the district estimated the land-only value at $49,271; the lowest conventional demolition bid listed on the tabulation was roughly $265,000 with other bids substantially higher; asbestos abatement was contracted separately and scheduled for May 19; the district required language to prevent the property being used as a competing campus.","The board approved awarding demolition and disposition of Hillcrest Elementary to Thrasher Incorporated of Plainview, which proposed to remove the building and accept ownership of the land valued at $49,271 instead of a cash bid.",{"_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},6557041,"Plainview ISD approves $1.014 million property/casualty renewal, opts for wind/hail deductible buy-down",2634,2795025,5430000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3337213-db8c3aee069abc135a8908c49f788ddd&start=2795&end=5430","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3337213-db8c3aee069abc135a8908c49f788ddd/thumbnail_2795025.jpg","/articles/6557041/Texas/Plainview-ISD-approves-1014-million-propertycasualty-renewal-opts-for-windhail-deductible-buy-down","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6557041-aef760e3f7bb406ebe06f59a64fd3655/orig.mp4?Expires=1776163990&Signature=KJSeNOra7RAN3UoyC~~KGo56MEdh0WjZUab2NHmJrc6kPwmMCur2~EN-PnT5nd83iqxQjHogr7aBOEoPXeYpzyLsPABfInlHVNBcNkpmgZ3iAzehbUEaNltYk1JaqYfSKfp7ZQA6n5sL6CbPvu9qC9QKFYy1xtyQbJ-qv9yByNKgE5sgXrh6AvbegzmWCM1Mq3uXWU1Cuzl5UIHCJ-fKIIRXVpoU~t5rqvQDXHdgelWBWPJTB6B9o5Gko6ZX9AjBGInqlsLeKfd7KlHPgEXxoWORcCfYQeyoMbw~9Kr1CRLKMCObl964YgCr9tmhlIrNaBRU10jQ1SzHTsgkSqWE1A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Plainview ISD Board of Trustees voted 7-0 on May 15 to renew the district's property and casualty insurance for the 2025–26 school year and to purchase an endorsement reducing the wind and hail deductible from 2% to 1%.

Becca (Finance Department) told the board the base premium for 2025 will be $749,524 and the buy-down endorsement would cost $264,627, for a combined total of $1,014,051. \"As you can see, the cost of liability insurance has gone up over 50% in 5 years,\" Becca said during the meeting.

The board heard district staff explain why they recommended staying with TASB: staff cited prior multi-building weather claims across the region, the pace of claims handling they experienced with TASB, and uncertainty about other carriers' ability to pay large losses. \"Kendall, which is our rep over at TASB, he was on the phone with us every single day,\" a staff member said, describing the district's recent experience with major claims.

Staff told trustees they could begin a formal bidding process for the 2026–27 coverage next January for comparative purposes but recommended renewing now to ensure coverage continuity beginning May 1. Trustees discussed whether the endorsement was a prudent cost given the risk of multiple building claims in a major wind/hail event.

Trustees approved the motion to renew the policy and purchase the buy-down endorsement by voice vote. The motion carried 7-0.

Clarifying details from the meeting: the endorsement specifically reduces the wind/hail deductible from 2% to 1%; flood deductibles were discussed separately and remain at the standard percentage; staff said the district had not used the buy-down in the current year but had used buy-downs in prior claim years. The board also authorized staff to prepare to bid the district's insurance for the 2026–27 year for comparison.","The Plainview ISD Board voted 7-0 to renew property and casualty insurance for 2025–26 with TASB and to purchase an endorsement lowering wind/hail deductible from 2% to 1%, bringing the total cost to $1,014,051.","actionData","errors"]
