School Board Update
Below are the significant items from summer Board Meetings:
- At the June meeting, the Board approved using gas well revenues for technology expenditures. The first wave of technology upgrades will cost about $3.5 million and includes cabling projects, MS Office installation, phase 1 replacement of end-of-life desktops, and replacing end-of-life switches. The District expects to realize approximately $6.8 million in gas well revenues.
- In July, the Board ratified the contract agreement with Lee Lewis Construction, Inc. for $59.4 million that set the wheels in motion to start construction on High School No. 5.
- Also at the July meeting, the Board was introduced to new administrators: Susan Gerlach, Principal at Anna May Daulton Elementary and Dr. Sheila Saxton, Coordinator for Federal & Special Programs
- The Board also approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Mansfield to create a tree farm behind Ben Barber Career Tech Academy. The trees can be transplanted to any public area or school located in Mansfield city limits.
- At the August 4 Called Meeting, a presentation was made to the Board that showed how MISD could use $24 million in bond savings to build a 6,000-seat auditorium/professional development center.

District middle school students dominate as a tennis team
The United
States Tennis Association hosts junior tennis leagues every fall and spring
season. This past spring season, a local
team from Mansfield came together to dominate in league play and qualify for
the state tournament in New Braunfels, Texas.
This is the first time in two years that Tarrant
County has offered a junior team tennis league and the Walnut Creek Kick Aces
represented their league well. The Kick
Aces were coached by Cindy Planas, tennis coach at Coble Middle School, and is
comprised of players from all five middle schools in Mansfield ISD. Coble Middle School had Stuart Johnston,
Andrew Cameron, Elliott Estep, Anuksha Mathur, and Vannessa Lam representing
them; Wester Middle School had Alec Schreck, Sean Cawthorne, and Austin
Grossklaus; Worley Middle School had Lisa Rowe; Howard Middle School had Aisha
Ibrahim; and Jones Middle School had Shirley Cotty.
The members of this team came together to go
25-0 as a team in local play, 5-0 in regional play, and 15-10 in state
play. The Walnut Creek Kick Aces
finished 9th overall in the state in the 14 and under intermediate division.
