Last night, the Southlake City Council held its November 3 Regular City Council Meeting and considered Touchmark’s proposed development, which includes Carroll ISD surplus property at the former Carroll Intermediate School site at North Carroll Avenue and East Highland Street.

Touchmark is the prospective buyer of the District’s property. Carroll ISD’s objective is to responsibly manage surplus property in a way that benefits our students, teachers, staff and taxpayers. Board President Cam Bryan addressed the Council to share the District’s perspective and emphasize the importance of the relationship between Carroll ISD and the City of Southlake.

The Council ultimately tabled consideration of the proposal until December. Our Board of Trustees respects the Council’s responsibility to make decisions its members believe are best for the city and will continue advocating for what is best for our District. We do not believe those goals are incompatible.

We encourage our community to stay informed as this process continues.

For 30 years, Melissa Page has given Carroll ISD far more than unforgettable performances. She has mentored generations of young women, inspired confidence and discipline, and helped build the proud tradition of the Emerald Belles. 💚

From professional sports arenas and national television to Friday nights under the lights at Dragon Stadium, her leadership has helped our Belles shine while creating memories that last a lifetime.

This past Friday, we had the privilege of honoring Ms. Page at our final district home game of the season as she prepares to retire at the end of the school year. It was a fitting setting to celebrate someone who has given so much to our students, our schools, and our community.

Thank you, Ms. Page, for 30 years of dedication, heart and Dragon pride. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will live on in the young women you have inspired and the traditions you have helped shape.

🐉 Board Meeting Recap | November 2
The Carroll ISD Board of Trustees met last night for a Special Board Workshop.

The evening began with recognition of our November #InspireExcellence honorees: Old Union Elementary teacher Bailey Williamson, Eubanks Intermediate teacher Sloan Shearer, and Eubanks custodian Jose Melendez. Thank you to EECU for their sponsorship of these awards!

Board President Cam Bryan also addressed recent concerns surrounding Carroll ISD’s Pre-K program, reiterating that the Board is not considering closing Pre-K and continues to advocate for preserving the program as it currently operates. He also encouraged the community to stay informed about the proposed sale of surplus district property at the former CIS location - which will be discussed in tonight's Southlake City Council meeting.

The Board also reviewed the district’s updated Instructional and Digital Resource Lists. Following a comprehensive review, the number of approved instructional resources was reduced from 1,246 to 135, an 89% reduction, creating a more focused list aligned with grade levels, instructional priorities, student privacy and safety. The Board approved the updated lists as presented.

📢 President’s Report: November 2 Special Board Workshop

Last night, Carroll ISD Board President Cam Bryan reaffirmed the District’s commitment to preserving our Pre-K program as it currently operates. He emphasized that the Board is not considering closing the program and that trustees, the superintendent and administrators are actively advocating for our youngest Dragons.

President Bryan explained that challenges stemming from state legislation require action by the Texas Education Agency and state legislators. Trustee Renée Bottom, the Board’s legislative chair, has been meeting with legislators since this summer, and the District will share opportunities for community advocacy through Take Action Dragons at the appropriate time.

He also encouraged community members to attend or tune in to tonight’s Southlake City Council meeting, where Touchmark, the prospective buyer of the former CIS property at Carroll Avenue and East Highland Drive, will present its proposal. The District’s goal remains to make a responsible decision that benefits students, teachers and staff.

Thank you for staying engaged and informed. Go Dragons! 💚
