\"We truly believe what we are doing over there is changing lives, from the bottom of our hearts,\" Shaker said, praising junior coaches, volunteers and partnerships with high school culinary departments that staffed concession stands and provided hands-on work experience for students.

Shaker said the program sent 24 swimmers to one invitational and 72 to an all-star event (numbers as stated at the meeting) and that the program brought more than 600 swimmers and their families from the Tuscany area, Eagle Springs and Summerwood into the district for events. She reported 14 junior coaches who collectively provided \"over 1,500 hours\" of volunteer service within the New Caney area.

Shaker described a recent effort to secure funds from the county administration last year to buy a starter flash device so hearing-impaired swimmers would receive the visual start signal when the starter says \"go.\" She described a swimmer named Audrey who lost hearing after a traumatic incident and, with support from coaches and family, was able to compete after taking out her cochlear implants; Shaker said Audrey showed steady improvement each week.

Shaker also described meeting a mother, Mandy, who has five high-school-age children with autism and said one of Mandy's sons, Brian, feels comfortable participating at the district natatorium.

Shaker thanked district staff, coaches (including Coach Funk) and a guest she identified as Jim from Oregon for their assistance and asked the board to acknowledge the program's community impact. These remarks were made during the public-comment portion of the meeting; the board did not take action during public comment.","A public commenter, Allison Shaker, described how the district-area swim program supported students with hearing impairments and autism, cited volunteer contributions and partnerships with high school culinary programs, and said the group requested funds for starter flashes for hearing-impaired swimmers.",{"_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},6590607,"New Caney ISD staff gives bond update, lists timelines for Westport, McKinney, Fort High and new schools",212,494435,706550,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5444633-8c47e59f5be9a3299a04a0799e939962&start=494&end=706","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5444633-8c47e59f5be9a3299a04a0799e939962/thumbnail_494435.jpg","/articles/6590607/Texas/New-Caney-ISD-staff-gives-bond-update-lists-timelines-for-Westport-McKinney-Fort-High-and-new-schools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6590607-09fa7e49cbfd52f378ef5cad6383c878/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142780&Signature=JjlzWdeFw8Hs-i7lk80FglW7L4CozzO9oWmQK-0Pwy4Bpgf5s4TRCVzzlJEj0XbAloNs8Z-U0zSt~igL0BuUR7VbJsmDT9zxGSrsJM60TRcmtNSLJWWLmjqJFOvEqsomX7riYGHxyN~1JsxUrh5HN2mG1tjHV8nSnvxcUFixwGUztzRaKxEkDzZa3WPqv1kYtVx6VoayYhtR3EpOr5OyPwPyXtT6ykbmTM-oJ4a7aKB7lIsoAHZV9f39915LCI8TGt~a4FDG4DISP~1c~pZz--l-nPjJafoW8HHgeoBAHvVLb8VfYOF7w8B03GeSDRVHzBVxaWoO2O72G1cSVr6F5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A district staff member provided a bond-projects update at the New Caney Independent School District Board of Trustees meeting, outlining progress and target dates for multiple construction and renovation projects funded by the district bond program.

The staff member said Westport Phase 2 will be ready for students when school resumes in August, with only a covered practice facility still to be built this summer. Work at McKinney High School on career and athletic facilities is largely finished and will have CTE areas ready when students return. Allen Phillips School is scheduled to open in August, and Middle School No. 6—on the Casey property—was reported as being in design and projected to open on Aug. 23 (date as stated in the meeting).

The staff update said demolition and instructional remodeling for the district's alternative school PLC behind Pine Valley is complete and that the district will present a recommendation for a general contractor for the central office to the board that evening. The transportation operations facility is projected to be completed in spring 2027, the staff member said.

Fort High School remains in design following the board's recent architect approval; planned work includes covered practice facilities, arts additions and renovations, expanded CTE spaces, turf field work and other renovations. The staff member reported a recently completed lighting project for the Fort High athletic fields and said the district expects the larger Fort High work to be wrapped up by summer 2028, given the number of moving parts.

The district also approved an architect last month for a future Elementary 13 and described a BEST program (behavioral, emotional and social training) that will establish four classrooms to support students across the district.

The staff member said bond-project details and a bond news section are available on the district website and noted that recommendations on a general contractor would come to the board that night. No formal votes on the bond projects were recorded in the open remarks summarized at the meeting.

The remarks occurred during the board meeting; the presentation emphasized construction timelines and upcoming board recommendations rather than final approvals.","A district staff member briefed the New Caney ISD board on bond-funded construction and renovation projects, reporting completion targets ranging from August (school openings) to summer 2028 (large campus work) and noting a recommendation for a general contractor will be presented to the board.","actionData","errors"]
