At its monthly meeting Crowley ISD trustees received a cluster of district reports and recognitions covering expanded instruction pilots, summer services, student achievement and staffing introductions.

Trustee Latonya Woodson Mayfield said Mary Harris Elementary will pilot an additional‑day school year (AdSI) adding 30 days of instruction, enrichment and targeted intervention; staff said the program emphasizes math, literacy and social‑emotional learning and will welcome staff and students beginning a July return date. The superintendent and trustees applauded the initiative as an opportunity to address summer learning loss and add SEL time.

The board also highlighted free summer meals for anyone ages 18 and under at multiple campuses. District staff listed participating sites as Bill R. Johnson CTE, J. A. Hargrave Elementary, North Crowley High School, Richard Alley Middle School, S. H. Crowley Elementary, Sydney H. Poynter Elementary and Summer Creek Middle; the district provided an online resource at www.crowleyisdtx.org/childnutrition for details.

First Vice President Gary Gracia described a district fine‑arts camp for current kindergarten through fifth‑grade students at Pointer Elementary that will run from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and include breakfast, lunch and arts instruction. Second Vice President Mia Hall reported graduation figures for the 2025 graduating class: 549 graduates at Crowley High School and 732 at North Crowley High School, and staff said those graduates earned more than $162 million in scholarships.

Trustees also introduced several newly hired administrators and district leaders. Superintendent McFarland and board staff asked each available appointee onstage and named campus assignments and previous districts: Beth Gilliland (assistant principal, Richard Alley Middle School), Effie Halman (Summer Creek Middle School), Dr. Rock Magus (Crowley Middle School), Dr. Raquel Pedigree (assistant principal, H. F. Stevens Middle School), Ernest Quintanilla (assistant principal, Crowley Middle School), Dr. Artis Bridal (Summer Creek Middle School), Tyretha Smith (Crowley Middle School assistant principal), Alberto Torres (coordinator of dual language) and Quintella Knox (district administrator, AI integration and organizational learning). Board members offered brief welcome remarks.

The board also recognized the elementary UIL A+ academic competition: district staff said 631 students competed across more than 14 events and 105 volunteers supported the Saturday event at the Bill R. Johnson CTE Center; organizers read the names of first‑place winners and thanked volunteers and food‑service staff.

Separately, the superintendent reported a district improvement in College, Career and Military Readiness (CCMR): the most recent graduating cohort’s CCMR rate climbed from 77% last year to 93% for the current report, a figure McFarland said is still rising as final data come in.

Board members used the recognitions to thank volunteers, staff and community partners and encouraged families to use posted district resources for program details and signups.
