Dragon License Plates Get Approval


The Carroll Independent School District will soon become the first school district in the state with its own personalized license plates.

During Monday’s School Board meeting, CISD Trustees approved a five-year agreement with My Plates to produce state-issued Carroll Dragon plates. The plate design expects to get state approval in May.

The plates will feature the Carroll green and black colors with the trademark Dragons logo on the left. Dragon fans will also have the option to personalize their plates. The district receives 10 percent commission on each plate sold, revenue which will go into the general operating fund.

A one-year agreement for Dragons plates costs $55 and a five-year plate purchases costs $195. The 10-year plate is $295.

Creating new plates typically takes 4-6 months and the Dragon plates will be available for purchase online in August.
