Safety training and compliance videos

There’s a lot of great “gossip” going around… and this time, it’s all good!

Our Positive Gossip campaign is all about celebrating the incredible moments happening across our district.

Gossip ranging from inspiring teachers and standout students to exciting campus events.

We’ve already shared stories like a mother-daughter teaching duo at Rose Shaw Elementary, a Solomon M. Coles High School teacher featured in The Bend Magazine, and a Mary Carroll High School student who saved a life using CPR. We know there’s so much more to tell! Don’t keep it to yourself, share your Positive Gossip today!

The District has a NEW vendor to deliver the safety training & compliance videos to meet the training requirements for Texas public school districts.

Beginning Monday, July 13, all employees will receive the initial email from PublicSchool WORKS with a link and self-guided login instructions to begin the 2026-2027 Training Plan. The videos will be different, you will see a different logo, you will be required to test on the topic, but what will not be different is the mandatory requirement of completing all trainings. It is important to complete the trainings as soon as you can so you will have the adequate training and information for success in the new school year.

PublicSchool WORKS posters will be posted at each CCISD location introducing the new program. We wish you well in the coming school year! For questions, please contact The Office of Employee Benefits and Risk Management at 361-695-7210.

Leadership Definition Corpus Christi ISD, in partnership with The Holdsworth Center, created a leadership definition to guide the how of our work in support of the district’s mission and vision.
