Stakeholders valuable to our success


In C-FB ISD, we have one goal, “high achievement for all students.” To meet our goal, we have four strategic objectives. One objective focuses on our stakeholders. Every public school district has many groups of stakeholders, and C-FB ISD is no exception.

Recently, I had the privilege to spend the day with two very valuable groups – Realtors and PTA members.

In C-FB ISD, we recognize the value of working with the real estate community. As I told the group meeting in Irving, you understand the importance of “location, location, location.” In C-FB ISD, we understand the importance of “achievement, achievement, achievement.”


Although we focus on achievement in academics, we have two other “A’s” that are important to our students. Those “A’s” are: Arts and Athletics. Fine arts begin in our elementary schools, and that’s not always true in other public schools. We are fortunate to have certified art and music teachers instilling an appreciation of the arts to our students starting in kindergarten. Our fine arts students achieve on the state and national level in instrumental and vocal music. Their art hangs in Congressional offices and the Dallas Museum of Art.

Certified physical education teachers are in our elementary schools, and sports programs begin in middle school. We are proud that we have teams in all areas making the play-offs this year. And, the spring sport season is just beginning. Recently, we celebrated graduating seniors signing athletic scholarships in football, softball, soccer, tennis and golf.

Overall, the group was impressed with what we offer our students and the achievement of our students. C-FB ISD has one purpose: learning.

We have two real estate tours scheduled at R. L. Turner High School. They are March 29 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. and April 7 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Realtors, if you are interested in attending, please contact, cfbinfo@cfbisd.edu for a reservation and more information.

We in C-FB ISD know that school districts are an important factor when selecting a home. We invite the real estate community to come see why we believe families should choose our schools. Please contact us if you have question about our district, or check out Why C-FB on our website.

Council of PTA Luncheon

Every year, the Council of PTA sponsors a luncheon for our principals and the school PTA presidents. It’s a great opportunity for us to get together to visit and share what has been happening on the individual campuses during the year.




We had a great lunch prepared and served by students from Café Smith. Café Smith is student-run restaurant at Newman Smith High School, and periodically the students accept catering jobs. The Barbara Bush Middle School Step Team performed, and we were greeted by cheerleaders from Creekview, Ted Polk and Ranchview. What a great lunch and celebration of student work! The Council of PTA is a great organization that supports the district and our local school PTAs. Thank you to all the volunteers who put the event together.

If you need more information about the Council of PTA, please visit the council’s website, http://www.cfbpta.org/.

We believe that for students to learn and grow, stakeholder involvement is a must. In C-FB ISD, we invite stakeholders to be on our educational team and part of the solution. If you are a C-FB ISD stakeholder and want to be involved, please email us at cfbinfo@cfbisd.edu. We will put you in contact with the principal of your neighborhood school or the leader of a program. Come partner with us.
