Clear Creek Independent School District
by Kristina Weaver

The Clear Creek Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday night to amend secondary school schedules. 

“It is not my personal desire to do away with block scheduling," said Trustee Chuck Schneider.  "However, it is my responsibility to keep this district solvent.” 

“We have no real idea what the legislature is going to do, what we decide tonight is going to have to get us through the next year,” said School Board President Paula Tomasi.

Several students and parents addressed the board to oppose the schedule change, citing extra stress and "emotional factors" that will affect the students. 

The school board unanimously approved a $53,860 bid by Bud Griffin and Associates for air conditioning units at the Technology Learning Center.

The school board approved a $194,900 bid by Custom Dirt Work to clear land at the Northside Intermediate School.

All other agenda items were approved.

Representatives of the cities of Nassau Bay, Webster, Taylor Lake Village, League City and Houston presented proclamations to Superintendent Dr. Sandra Mossman, congratulating and recognizing her as the new superintendent of CCISD.
