The Board approved the 2010 -2011 budget.

The Growth Management Committee co-chairs, Ronnie Rushing and Dawn Brown, presented a recommendation from the GMC to the Board for consideration, which outlined three options:
  • Construction of Elementary #7 based on the LaRue Miller prototype.  Based on demographic data, this facility may be needed for the 2012-2013 school year
  • An addition to Frank Seale Middle School in order to expand its capacity from 1,000 students to 1,200 students.  It is projected this addition would meet the needs of the district through 2016.
  • Construction of a second high school within the district.  This high school would be built for a capacity of 2,500 students and would be done in two phases.
While the committee has worked very hard over a number of meetings to reach its conclusions, they realize that the Board is responsible for determining "the who, the what, the when, the where and the how" of the recommendation and that the board must balance the facility needs of the district with its demographics and financial capacity while considering the current and projected future economic environments.

Zombie Teacher Technology Project 2010

The Zombie Teacher Film Festival and Awards Presentation was held Tuesday night in the Midlothian High School Auditorium. Twenty-three films were shown and participants were recognized for their achievements. The MISD Best Picture 2010 award was given to the film entitled, "Principals on Patrol", produced by J.A. Vitovsky Elementary staff members Cherie Wagoner, Amy Ballard, Justin Griffith, and Craig Coker. The winning team members will receive $100 Tech Bucks to spend for integrating technology in the classroom.

Attendees of the Zombie Teacher Project Film Festival had the opportunity to vote on their favorite film. Participants marked their choice on the program and submitted it in the ballot box at the end of the awards ceremony.

The winner of the 2010 Zombie Teachers' Choice Award goes to the film entitled, "Hold On to That Panther Feeling" produced by Midlothian ISD teachers Joyce Griffith, Adrienne Mitchell, Amanda Hamilton and Tammy Moore. Congratulations to the winners!
