LINDALE ISD NEWS ROOM Courtney Sanguinetti Director of Communications
DAVID’S LAW IMPLEMENTED AT LINDALE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT Lindale ISD has implemented STOPit, a simple, fast and powerful solution to anonymously report inappropriate behaviors, deter unethical or illegal activity and bullying. This implementation comes after the state passed Senate Bill 179, or “David’s Law.” “David’s Law” makes it a Class A misdemeanor when someone harasses a student 18 or younger through text message, social media, websites or other electronic means. The law also allows courts to set a temporary injunction on social media accounts that may have been used in cyberbullying. The suicide of 16-year-old, San Antonio high school student David Molak, spurred Texas senators to write the legislation. According to the David’s Legacy Foundation, a nonprofit focused on ending cyberbullying, a group of students who harassed, humiliated and threatened Molak led him to take his own life. Parents of Lindale ISD have been given a code from their student’s campus principal to use to login to STOPit. Once a student sends in a concern, a school administrator will be able to quickly respond to them and talk about the issue. Bullying is not the only subject students can report. They can alert the administration on fighting, drugs and self-harm. This is just another layer of protection for Lindale students’ well-being. “We are pleased to offer the STOPit program to our students,” said Lindale ISD Superintendent Stan Surratt. “Students are always able to report things to their principals, teachers and counselors but this STOPit program gives students another avenue, especially if they want to remain anonymous. Our main goal, as always, is to provide a safe environment for all students and staff members.”

"I am going to buy a couple more pigs and put the money back for college," said Bailey Gilleland. "It's really hard to win this contest and I was really surprised." State Farm Insurance Presents "Good Neighbor Student of the Month" Lindale High School senior, Kaitlyn Rozell, was chosen as the "Good Neighbor Student of the Month." The award, presented by State Farm, honors students who are committed to integrity, respect, ownership, discipline, accountability, honesty, responsibility and community contribution. (LHS' core values) "We started this program in recognition of students who may not be at the top of their class or the most involved in activities but are doing what's right everyday," said State Farm Insurance agent, RJ Collins. "That's what's going to make a great student turn into a great employee and great citizen. We wanted to recognize those types of students through this program." Lindale High School Football Players Greet ECC Students Every game day, LHS football players along with their head football coach, Chris Cochran, greet students at Early Childhood Center with high fives. It's something the pre-k and kindergarten students look forward to every Friday. "I really enjoy getting to see the little kid's and giving them high fives and stuff like that," Said head football coach, Chris Cochran. "But my favorite part is just getting to watch our guys love on kids, bless their day and help them start their day off right." 4th grader at E.J. Moss Wins AMA National Motocross Championship Dirt bike rider, Kade Johnson, not only qualified but earned first place in the 65cc 7- to 9-year-old division at the largest amateur motocross race in the world . The 36th Annual Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship is held in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. “The Amateur National at Loretta Lynn’s is the event every motocross racer in the country wants to compete in,” said event director Tim Cotter. “A win at Loretta’s gives a racer instant national notoriety and can serve as a springboard to a lucrative professional motocross career.”

She received a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Stephen F. Austin State University. She started out teaching part-time at Ore City and then New Diana. She has more than 30 years of teaching experience and more than 20 of those years were spent at Lindale I.S.D. Grammy-nominated artist and Lindale graduate, Miranda Lambert once credited this former teacher with helping her to get over her stage fright and perform before crowds. In this teacher’s 24 years at Lindale High School, her students won five golden gavel awards for being the top speaker in the state in University Interscholastic League tournaments. They won so many state championships and other awards in debate, I think everyone has lost count. This woman’s service, dedication and contribution to the Lindale Independent School District is outstanding. We are proud to present the Distinguished service award to: Mrs. Janice Caldwell Derek currently works as a Physician/ Orthopedic Surgeon at Abilene Bone and Joint.
