Paris ISD approves Grow Your Own Teacher Scholarship and delegates implementation authority
Summary
Trustees approved the Paris ISD Grow Your Own Teacher Scholarship Program and delegated authority to the superintendent to implement it; the board also received an update on a TEA temporary restraining order affecting accountability ratings.
During the Aug. 19 board meeting, the superintendent reported on district convocation and provided an update about a Texas Education Agency temporary restraining order related to accountability ratings. Trustees then approved the Paris ISD Grow Your Own Teacher Scholarship Program (motion by Anne Biard; second by LaWanda Ladell) and separately voted to delegate authority to the superintendent to implement the program (motion by Cliff Kerby; second by Aubrey Gibbs). Both motions carried unanimously, 6–0.
The minutes record the program approval and the delegation of authority but do not provide scholarship amounts, eligibility criteria, or an implementation timeline. The superintendent’s office should publish program rules and funding sources so potential applicants can prepare to apply.
