Gatesville ISD honors student responders, nurse and retiring trustee Mary Anne Lee
Summary
The board publicly recognized student athletic trainers and a nurse for their response to a severe concussion, and honored longtime trustee Mary Anne Lee for 21½ years of service; Lee spoke about her long connection to the district and said her daughter will join the board soon.
The board opened the meeting with tributes and recognitions, honoring student athletic trainers Ethan and Cali plus nurse Kelly Smith and staff member Streetman for their response to a severe concussion at a recent Robinson junior‑varsity game. A staff presenter described the incident as a likely second‑impact concussion; presenters said the family expressed gratitude and the student is on concussion protocol.
Board members and colleagues then recognized Mary Anne Lee for 21½ years of service to Gatesville Independent School District. Colleagues praised Lee’s advocacy for students, role in building projects and steady leadership. Lee thanked fellow board members, teachers and staff and described the district as ‘‘my home, my family, and my heart,’’ saying she will continue supporting the district as a community member while her daughter Emily prepares to join the board and will be sworn in at a later date.
What’s next: the board took up routine business after the recognitions and proceeded to the remainder of the agenda.
