Cedar Hill Graduate Pays It Forward As Librarian, Community Leader
Randel, 26, has worked for the City of Cedar Hill’s Zula B Wylie Library since she was 17 years old Shes now the Citys first-ever Teen Librarian where shes responsible for all library programs for teenagers and tweens (ages 8 through 12) Randel also coordinates the Mayors Teen Council
A Cedar Hill High School Class of 2015 Graduate, Randel is also one of the leaders of the Longhorn Futures Committee (LFC) a long-range planning group that provides recommendations to the CHISD Board of Trustees on potential bond packages and other matters
Randel was among the first group of scholars to attend Lake Ridge Elementary School in the early 2000s She also attended West Intermediate School, Permenter Middle School, and Cedar Hill High School
Randel was a cheerleader who performed at AT&T Stadium when the CHHS Football Team won consecutive state championships in 2013 and 2014 respectively She was also a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes
Randel sees her work on the LFC as paying it forward I felt the improvements that we saw during my time in CHISD – new athletic fields and a new culinary arts kitchen – had been the result of a bond that had been approved a few years earlier, Randel said
Randel earned an Associates Degree from Tarrant County College and a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) – all while working at the library as a Youth Services Assistant Randels career goal was to become a psychologist, but she had a change of heart
The more I thought about leaving the library, it made me sad, said Randel, who went on to earn a Masters Degree in Library Science from UTA in 2022 Cedar Hill Library Services Director Aranda Bell is grateful that Randel chose library science as her career path Chelsey is truly a passionate, enthusiastic, and forwardthinking servant leader Bell said Its been such a joy to work alongside her and watch her embody the true spirit of building community the “Cedar Hill Way ”
The entire library staff is working diligently to prepare for the grand opening of the Citys brand-new state-ofthe-art library, which will take place on April 6

LA MESA DIRECTIVA DE CEDAR HILL ISD CONVOCA ELECCIONES DE MAYO
Si se aprueba, el distrito realizará renovaciones en cada escuela, construirá una nueva instalación de transporte y ampliará las oportunidades académicas para futuros estudiantes
El 12 de febrero la Mesa Directiva de Cedar Hill ISD votó para incluir una Elección de Bonos en la boleta electoral el 4 de mayo A los votantes registrados que residen dentro de los límites de Cedar Hill ISD se les pedirá que consideren una propuesta de $282 4 millones que proporcionará fondos para mejorar cada escuela una nueva instalación de transporte y autobuses y renovaciones para fortalecer las programas académicas de Cedar Hill ISD en Bellas Artes y Ciencias Biomédicas y STEM
La propuesta incluye dos proposiciones La Propuesta A incluye las principales mejoras de capital, transporte e infraestructura para actualizar la tecnología y mejorar la seguridad La Propuesta B incluye dispositivos tecnológicos como computadoras portátiles y tabletas utilizadas por maestros y niños así como paneles de aprendizaje interactivos y móviles Los artículos de la Proposición B tienen un ciclo de vida más corto y se financiarán en plazos más cortos
Después de que la propuesta de bonos de mayo de 2023 fracasara por 61 votos el distrito recopiló comentarios en profundidad de los padres miembros de la comunidad y el personal; y luego pidió al Comité de Futuros de Longhorn (LFC) que revisará los hallazgos y desarrollará una nueva propuesta El comité tenía dos objetivos: priorizar proyectos que impacten a todos los niños e invertir en programas de alta demanda en todos los niveles de grado Su recomendación incluyó mejorar áreas que mejorarán los entornos de aprendizaje en todas las escuelas y renovaciones que ampliarán el acceso a bellas artes, ciencias biomédicas y STEM, así como a la educación profesional en demanda en artes culinarias, soldadura y diseño gráfico

En consulta con expertos financieros de CHISD y con el apoyo del Comité de Futuros de Longhorn la junta ha elaborado un plan para pagar $282 4 millones en bonos con un aumento de medio centavo en la tasa impositiva del servicio de la deuda El aumento de medio centavo generará $5 millones adicionales para pagar los bonos con el tiempo y le costará al propietario promedio de una vivienda en CHISD $10 adicionales al año en impuestos a la propiedad
