An updated Carroll ISD policy could generate additional revenue for the district.

Trustees approved an update to the district’s facility rental policy and fee schedule by a 6-0 vote during the June 15 meeting. Trustee Alex Sexton was absent from the meeting.

“From a district and trustee perspective, this is now policy,” Superintendent Jeremy Glenn said. “We want to make sure that all of our facility managers, as it falls under your leadership, are following this to a T. 

The details: After an initial presentation at a June 1 work session, Deputy Superintendent of Business and Finance Chase Park said clarifications were made to the custodial fee, which requires a two-hour minimum. CISD officials also added a recital package, which allows renters to use the district’s Steinway piano if the performance features district students.

About two weeks shy of the anniversary of deadly flooding that devastated parts of Central Texas last summer, state lawmakers approved a 115-page report chronicling what they deemed “failures” at Camp Mystic, a Christian youth camp where 27 young girls died.

The details: The family running Camp Mystic was not prepared to respond to a disaster in flood-prone Kerr County and did not act quickly enough to save campers’ lives, investigators said during a June 18 hearing at the Capitol.

Investigators Casey Garrett and Michael Massengale told lawmakers about recent interviews with teenage counselors who witnessed the July 4 tragedy, reiterating a key point from hearings earlier this year: all deaths at Camp Mystic could have been prevented if camp leaders had planned ahead and acted more quickly.

"Nobody had any idea what they needed to be doing, and it crippled them," Garrett said.

Looking ahead: Lawmakers adopted the investigative team’s report, which will be shared with legislative leaders as they draft additional policy changes in response to the flood during the 2027 state legislative session.
