Section I: Abstract of Project /Activity
The Coppell Independent School is applying for $ 565,000 under the foreign language
provision of the Coppell Education Development Corporation to furnish salaries for
eleven Spanish teachers at Coppell High School during the 2005 -2006 academic year.
These teachers provide daily instruction to students in grades nine to twelve who have
elected to study the Spanish language and culture in order to satisfy a state graduation
requirement. Students enrolled in Spanish language classes are realizing the mission of
the district to become a global leader in educational excellence (see Appendix A) as well
as fulfilling an indicator of the Portrait of the Coppell ISD Graduate (see Appendix B).
Section II: Description of Proposal & Nature of Request
All U.S. students need to be proficient and literate in English. In addition, students will
need competence in at least one additional language and skills in cross - cultural
interaction. The need for such competence, both in our current economy and in the one in
which today's students will live and work, has been well documented. Research shows
that multilingual societies have a competitive advantage over monolingual societies in
international trade (Halliwell, 1999).
The state of Texas requires that students complete two years of the same foreign language
in order to receive a diploma under the Recommended Plan. In addition, students desiring
to graduate under the Distinguished Achievement Program (DAP) must complete a
sequence of three years of the same language (see Appendix C). Objective three of the
Coppell ISD Strategic Plan states that "No fewer than 55% of our students will achieve
distinguished academic status upon graduation."
2
A Texas Framework for Languages Other Than English is tied to the Texas state student
content and performance standards, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for
Languages Other Than English. The goals for the Spanish program reflect these
standards:
• Goal 1: The students communicate in Spanish using the skills of listening,
speaking, reading and writing.
• Goal 2: The student gains knowledge and understanding of other cultures.
• Goal 3: The student uses the language to make connections with other subject
areas and acquire information.
• Goal 4: The student develops insight into the nature of language and culture
by comparing the student's own language and culture to another.
• Goal 5: The student participates in communities at home and around the world
by using languages other than English.
To effectively meet the goals of the program the Spanish teachers will:
• Utilize the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Language Other Than
English in lesson planning.
• Provide experiences that will enhance the understanding of other cultures
• Provide multiple opportunities for students to interact with native speakers
• Annually assess student progress using appropriate measurements
Without these funds CISD would be unable to fund other programs that contribute
towards student success. In order to best serve our student population we respectfully
apply for this grant.

on October 21, 2005, at the Brookhaven Country Club in Farmers Branch. Many activities are
planned for the week. The police department will give wristbands to all elementary students.
Bennett Ratliff, Board Secretary, reported on the Education Foundation. The Casino Party was
a successful fundraiser, and Red & Black Attack signs have been posted around the community.
The grant process starts again next month and more information will be given at a later time.
Scott Orr, Mike Arthur, and Bennett Ratliff discussed their September 15 meeting with
Representative Jackson. Dr. Turner was also present at the breakfast meeting. Dialogue
continues with Representative Jackson in an effort to keep the lines of communication open.
Cindy Warner reported on Strategic Planning. Thirty committee members made up of CISD
staff, community members, and students met September 19 -20, 2005, with Dr. Howard Feddema.
They started by looking at critical issues such as TAKS scores and accountability, funding,
overcrowded classes at the high school, and communication. They also looked at areas where
progress has been made. These include service learning, technology, alternative fiscal resources,
and aligning curriculum. The committee reviewed CISD's mission statement, objectives,
strategies and beliefs. As a result, four action teams will be developed.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Education Foundation - The annual report on the Education Foundation was given by President
Jeff Fink. He stated that last year's Red & Black Attack raised $170,000. This year's Casino
Party was very successful with over 300 donors. The total in grants given to date is $230,000.
Each campus was given $1,500 in matching funds last year and the Foundation is looking for
more grant requests. The endowment account was at $33,000 last year, and is currently at
$165.000. The student - teacher recognition banquet was very well received.
Strategic Plan - Dr. Turner stated that the strategic plan reaffirms the direction the district is
taking.
Hurricane Evacuees - As a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, there are 84 students in CISD
schools. The district continues to get calls and the enrollment of displaced students is expected
to increase.
CISD Summit - There are two issues that need to be addressed - the size of Coppell High
School and grade alignment, and bonds for maintenance for things such as carpet replacement.
Although the outcome of the Northlake Development is still unknown, it is believed that
committees should be formed to gather data and formulate a plan to present to the Board. On
October 14, the Board will meet with attorney Robert Freilich to discuss the Northlake situation.
