The Pilot Point ISD school board addressed water issues found at two campuses during the July 8 meeting.
Superintendent Dr. Shannon Fuller shared that the high school's AC pan overfl owed, and water got on the gym floor, which caused it to warp and buckle.
She added that the district is working with its adjuster and insurance company.
“We anticipate that there could be quite a bit of damage to the floor, and so we're either looking at repair or full replacement, and I'll know that by next week,” Fuller said. “So we have already started looking at the implications of that being that school's starting, we have volleyball and all of the events so looking at making sure that we have facilities for our students and our staff.”
She added that the air conditioning at the high school tower is out; however, a temporary pump was being sent that same day to hold it until the pump replacements under warranty arrive.
“Really, we're just kind of in a race to get ready for the beginning of school,” Fuller said.
Moisture was discovered underneath the flooring at the middle school.
The issue was discovered while some of the flooring in the middle school was being replaced.
The moisture appeared between the older part of the building and the newest part, which was cited as the likely cause.
“My best guess, after seeing it with my own eyes, would be slab saturation,” said Paul Smith, assistant project manager at Authers Building Group.
He shared that they brought in experts in the field to remedy the issue and found moisture damage had extended to the classrooms.
Eventually, the district will need to add a moisture barrier and replace the classroom floors. The goal right now is to focus on the hallways to reduce seepage into the classrooms.
“It can mitigate it to an extent, ... so it could potentially help the classrooms or make it worse,” Smith said.
Fuller mentioned that these and similar issues will need to be addressed across the district at some point.
The board approved the flooring moisture barrier and floor replacement in the middle school.
Alicia Bonnett, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, shared student performance data and gave a recap of the Quarter 4 Scorecard.
The scorecard was implemented this year to track academic growth and achievements across the district over five years.
“We grew 5% from the beginning of the year and went into the 59th percentile,” Bonnett said about math from grades K-8. “Reading, we grew by 7% from the beginning of the year. And SLAR is our Spanish language arts. We ended up in the 65th percentile, which was a 2% growth from the beginning of the year.”
Fuller explained that anything over 50% is above average.
“The overall analysis it's very encouraging,” Bonnett said. “The instructional systems and supports that we have put in place, that we are moving in the right direction, and we're seeing some momentum, but like I mentioned, the work's not complete. We're growing, that is going in the right direction, but our students are not quite where we know that we will be, and that we can be.”
The district’s attendance was averaged at 93.7%, and teacher turnover has dropped to 19% in 2025-26 compared to 34% in 2023-24.
Chief Financial Officer Brittany Floyd shared that the district adopted a balanced budget going into the 2026-27 school year, while also being able to provide “a 3% on the midpoint raise for the entire district.”
Fuller added that the goal is to continue to make progress and take time to reflect on the data to see what adjustments need to be made before the district starts over at quarter one for the upcoming academic year, beginning year two of the scorecard.
The board also approved two Interlocal Cooperation Agreements for the district to use the Denton County Radio Communications System and Shared Governance Communications and Dispatch Services System, free of charge.
The board also approved a revised quote to purchase Chromebooks and approved the student code of conduct with no major changes.
