Summary

Trustees elected Dr. Lauren Tyra president and Nancy Humphrey vice president, approved paving Clark Stadium’s parking lot and authorized demolition contracts for four retired campuses; all motions passed unanimously, 7–0.

Dr. Lauren Tyra was elected president of the Plano ISD Board of Trustees for the 2025–26 school year, and Nancy Humphrey was elected vice president, the board announced during its May 20 meeting.

The board held a brief organization process under board policy BDAA and then took several actions to approve facilities work and surplus‑property steps. Johnny Hill, deputy superintendent for leadership and operations, recommended paving Clark Stadium’s parking lot and described the existing surface as a safety hazard. Hill said asphalt was a pragmatic choice and estimated a project cost a little under $5 million, to be funded in part by earned interest from prior bond proceeds. Trustees approved the paving motion by unanimous vote, 7–0.

Later, after removing item 10.7 from the consent agenda for discussion, the board approved a competitive sealed proposal (CSP 2025‑05‑003) to demolish four retired campus buildings. Hill summarized the multi‑year long‑range facilities planning process, the interlocal agreement with the City of Plano addressing future uses, and independent appraisals used to set fair value after demolition. Staff noted they received 10 vendor proposals and that the lowest responsive bid came in well below earlier estimates; environmental studies are complete and demolition work is planned to begin in July. Trustees discussed community concerns (including memorial trees) and confirmed the city will lead later community input on downstream uses. The motion to award demolition contracts passed unanimously, 7–0.

All votes taken on officer elections, the Clark Stadium paving and the demolition contracts were voice/hand votes; each motion carried 7–0. The board’s actions leave follow‑up steps for implementation teams: contract administration for the stadium paving and demolition bids and coordination with the city on community engagement for future site use.

The board will continue regular oversight of project timelines and any required environmental or permitting steps as those implementation tasks proceed.
