Carroll ISD’s board of trustees consider broker for Durham Intermediate School, discuss bus replacement plan

Carroll ISD’s board of trustees held a special workshop April 13 to discuss next steps for selling the Don T. Durham Intermediate School property after it closes at the end of the 2026-27 school year and consider a plan to replace buses that do not comply with new state mandated requirements.

What’s happening? Chase Park, Carroll ISD's deputy superintendent of business and finance, recommended that the board of trustees declare the property located on 801 Shady Oaks Drive surplus and consider a broker from Engel and Völkers to help facilitate the sale.

If the board of trustees declares the 30 acres surplus, then district staff can start looking for buyers during Durham Intermediate School's last year of use, Park said.

“We'd like to get as much of a head start as we can while the building's occupied so that once it does go offline, we can shorten that time of us holding onto property that's no longer being used,” he said.

Statewide News
Judge temporarily lifts Texas ban on smokable hemp sales

Texas retailers can resume selling smokable hemp products after a Travis County judge temporarily blocked some of the state’s sweeping new regulations on the hemp industry.

The background: On March 31, the state health department enacted rules changing how THC content is measured in consumable hemp, which industry experts said effectively outlawed most smokable hemp products.

The Texas Hemp Business Council, a federal hemp industry group, and several local hemp companies sued the state April 8, arguing that the state health department does not have the authority to reclassify legal THC levels. State officials have defended the rules, saying they are in line with a September executive order by Gov. Greg Abbott, who at the time called for stricter oversight of the multibillion-dollar hemp industry.

The latest: Travis County District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble sided with the hemp industry in an April 10 ruling, directing the state not to enforce the new THC testing requirement and a restriction on the transportation of hemp products between states. An additional hearing is scheduled for April 23.
