District staff briefed trustees on a memorandum of understanding with Texas Woman's University that allows the university to place college work‑study students in Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD campuses to assist with college applications and related supports.

Leanne Stone (presenter) described the arrangement as a longstanding partnership and explained that the TWU students provide one‑on‑one help with applications such as ApplyTexas and general college advising under the supervision of district CCMR staff. "These students and instructors that come out assist with that process with a CCMR staff member present as well," Stone said, adding that the supports help more students complete applications and understand options.

Stone clarified the MOU is with TWU as the partner that supplies students, but that the assistance can support applications to multiple colleges, not only TWU. The board asked no substantive follow‑ups; administration presented the item as an informational report and will include the MOU on the appropriate consent agenda item for approval if required.
