MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
The Clifton ISD Board of Trustees last evening heard an update on how parents, students, and teachers were adjusting to the new smartphone pouch policy. After reporting few discipline issues, CHS principal Jimmy Jackson said he will be moving forward with acquiring new hallway clocks, as requested by students. The students’ biggest issue with the new policy was knowing what time it is between classes, he said.

Other actions by the trustees included hearing adjustments to the proposed 2025-26 budget, approving a new library materials policy, setting the leave payout rate for employees with 50 or more unused state leave days, and more.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

The Clifton Record Tribune & Brett Voss’ The Sports Buzz plans to take your high school football experience to a whole new level this season.

For the first time since launching this publication in 2010, we will be printing FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: 2025 BOSQUE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEW in a full-color, magazine format.

Featuring 48 pages of articles, photos, rosters and schedules, we will once again give high school football fans an inside preview of all eight Bosque County teams before the Friday night lights come back on.

Our award-winning coverage will include one Class 3A district, two Class 2A districts and three Class 1A (Six-Man) districts with eight total schools – including Clifton, Meridian, Valley Mills, Iredell, Cranfills Gap, Morgan, Kopperl and Walnut Springs fielding teams – in Bosque County.

We are looking forward to some exciting football games under the FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, and some great district races.

🚸 Back-to-School Safety: Slow Down in School Zones! 🚸

As a new school year begins, let’s all do our part to keep students safe. Whether you’re a parent, student, or commuter—these safety tips matter:

🔹 Slow Down – Always obey posted school zone speed limits. Children are unpredictable—drive with extra caution.

🔹 No Distractions – Stay off your phone. A moment of distraction can lead to tragedy.

🔹 Watch for Crosswalks – Yield to crossing guards and students. Never block crosswalks.

🔹 Stop for Buses – It’s the law: stop when school buses have flashing red lights and the stop arm is extended.

🔹 Follow Drop-Off Rules – Each school has specific procedures. Be patient and respectful of staff and other parents.

🔹 Be Alert for Bicyclists and Pedestrians – Especially in early mornings and afternoons when visibility and traffic are at their peak.

🔹 Leave Earlier – School traffic can slow your routine—leaving a few minutes early reduces stress and prevents risky behavior.

Let’s work together to make this school year safe for everyone. 🚦👮‍♂️🚌

BUDGET BRIEFING
Clifton ISD is proposing a $14.87 million budget for the 2025–26 school year that includes significant teacher pay raises, updated tech purchases, and funding for campus safety and extracurriculars. Last evening, CISD business manager Lisa Prescher (left) told the school board that most of the budget is driven by payroll and depends on student attendance and property values, the latter of which rose 6.6 percent this year. Trustees are expected to vote on the final budget and compensation plan at their Aug. 18 meeting.
