Elementary Teacher of the Year Vicki Turner, among others, was recognized, but not in attendance.

The May Farmersville ISD school board meeting began with an update on legislative changes by Superintendent Micheal French.

French rated the final decisions of the Legislature as “a 6 out of 10, although it was a “2” a few weeks ago,” he said.

The positive aspects of the legislation primarily address teacher and employee raises, with teachers receiving pay increases ranging from $4,000 to $8,000.
