TEXAS, USA Two local teachers in two school districts have been named ESC Region 12 Teachers of the Year.
James Cook of Cedar Valley Elementary in Killeen ISD was named Elementary Teacher of the Year and Krystle Moos of Midway High School was named Secondary Teacher of the Year. We are extremely proud of these remarkable educators, said Jerry Maze, executive director of ESC Region 12. The time and energy they dedicate to their students, their peers, and the profession is truly an inspiration for others to follow.
The project was described in the staff report on the agenda that outlines the meeting.
âThe City has been offered (a grant) in the amount of $3,898,271 to fund this project, of which $400 will be allocated for legal advertising, $204,000 for construction administration and management, and other associated costs, and $3,693,871 for the contract itself. Under normal circumstances, AIP grants require a 10% match from the airport sponsor. However, the American Rescue Plan Act, signed into law on March 11, 2021, increases the federal share to 100 percent for AIP grants planned for fiscal year 2021,â the staff report said.
Along with the airport project, the council will also be discussing a resolution authorizing a fireworks display on July 3 at the Killeen Special Events Center.
A Killeen High School senior died last Tuesday night, according to a statement released by the Killeen Independent School District on Monday.
âThe Killeen High School family is greatly saddened to hear of the loss of a KHS student. We have received permission from the family to share that a member of the senior class passed away Tuesday night. No additional information is available at this time,â the statement read. âOur thoughts and prayers are with the studentâs family and friends.â
The student was coded as an in-person learner at KHS, district spokeswoman Taina Maya confirmed Monday.
Multiple social media posts have alleged the student died of complications due to COVID-19, but Maya could not confirm the allegation.
