Hello! My name is Kenneth Ussery, and I serve as a McKinney ISD School Board Trustee. Each month, after our Board meeting, we provide our community with a brief summary of events and items covered during the meeting. The meeting was called to order with the announcement of a quorum, followed by an invocation and pledges led by board member Stephanie O’Dell. The Board recognized students and staff for notable accomplishments, including: our McKinney ISD School Resource Officers and Armed Security Officers. We appreciate our SROs and ASOs for the vital work they do to keep our schools safe. Next we handed out the We Are McKinney ISD superintendent’s award.

We then recognized the schools who won the Counselors Reinforcing Excellence for Students in Texas award, better known as the CREST award. This award is sponsored by the Texas School Counselor Association, and it recognizes outstanding school counseling programs across the state and serves as a tool for continuous growth and advocacy. Next we honored the McKinney ISD Counselor of the Year: congratulations to Angela Stevenson from Frazier Elementary. Then we recognized our 10 McKinney ISD students who were selected as Texas Music Educators Association All-State participants.
