Top Board Action From Monday

Trustees extended the employment contract of Superintendent David J. Faltys for an additional two years - through 2014. They did not take action on the superintendent's salary at this time, but commended Dr. Faltys for his leadership, communication skills and for the integrity and example he models for others in his position leading Carroll ISD.

The Board postponed a final decision on the 2010-2011 School Calendar in order to collect more information and input on the possibility of ending the first semester before winter break. The Board will consider the additional information and feedback at the February 1 meeting.

The Board accepted the 2008-2009 financial audit.

Trustees tasked the Administration to bring back a proposed contract and/or leasing option for a digital, video scoreboard at Dragon Stadium, without committing district funds or binding the district to a decision in any way. Athletic Director Kevin Ozee will work with the Communications & Marketing Department to provide additional information on potential marketing revenues from a digital scoreboard at the Feb. 1 meeting. Again, Trustees reiterated they do not plan to utilize district funds for the purchase of a new scoreboard, but they would not rule out leasing as an option or utilizing a third party company to assume the debt risk while working with CISD to obtain marketing revenues to pay for the new scoreboard.
