Melissa ISD's board will be asked Monday to adopt a calendar for the 2027-28 school year, approve a list of library books recommended by the district's SLAC committee, and amend the district's District of Innovation plan, according to the agenda posted for the Oct. 19 meeting.
The regular meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the Melissa Schools Home Office, 1904 Cooper St.
Library purchases
Trustees will vote on "the list of library materials as proposed by the SLAC for procurement." The attached three-page list, dated Sept. 29, recommends titles for readers from pre-K through about ninth grade, each listed with its ISBN, intended grade level and the professional reviews that recommend it.
Among them are Katherine Applegate's "Pocket Bear," Linda Sue Park's "Gracie under the Waves" and Kate Messner's "The Trouble with Heroes." The district's Library and Media Services coordinator is listed to present the list.
Calendar and innovation plan
The 2027-28 calendar is an action item, but no draft calendar was attached to the posted agenda. A separate item asks trustees to approve a District of Innovation amendment concerning the requirement to notify parents about an uncertified teacher. The agenda does not include the text of the change.
Trustees will also take a first reading of updates to six local policies, coded DBA, DCA, DK, EB, EEB and FDA.
Financial rating hearing
The board will hold its annual public hearing on the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas. The state report attached to the agenda shows Melissa ISD rated A, Superior Achievement, with 92 points; 70 is passing. The rating is based on 2024-25 data.
