Cross Roads ISD

What Cross Roads ISD does

Cross Roads Independent School District (Cross Roads ISD) is a public K-12 school district operating as a political subdivision of the State of Texas, headquartered at 14434 FM 59, Malakoff, Texas, in Henderson County. The district serves Pre-K through 12th grade students across three wholly operated campuses: Cross Roads Elementary School (PK-5), Cross Roads Junior High School (6-8), and Cross Roads High School (9-12). Its service area is geographically bounded within its attendance zone, and students access the district through enrollment.

The district's core offering is a standard public education curriculum augmented by differentiated academic programs. Special education services include Child Find evaluation, the ARD committee process, occupational and speech therapy referrals, and individualized education plans. The Dyslexia Services program supports identification and treatment of dyslexia and dysgraphia. The Gifted and Talented program aligns to Texas State Performance Standards and includes UIL A Academics and dual credit coursework. The Dual Credit partnership with Trinity Valley Community College (TVCC) allows high school students to enroll in college courses and earn simultaneous high school and college credits, eliminating tuition, fees, and textbook costs. Extracurricular offerings include athletics (football, volleyball, basketball, track, cross country, baseball, softball, powerlifting, golf), FCCLA, National Honor Society, and the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program. Support services include counseling (academic advising, college/career readiness, bullying and substance abuse prevention), health services (immunization clinics, seizure management), and food services operating under the Community Eligibility Provision.

The business model is public funding rather than commercial revenue. Operating budgets are sourced from state per-pupil funding, local property taxes, federal grants, and other public mechanisms; specific revenue figures are not disclosed. Meals are priced at $1.50 (student breakfast), $2.15 (elementary and junior high lunch), $2.50 (high school lunch), and $3.40 (visitor/adult lunch), though qualifying schools participate in CEP for universal free meals. Technology infrastructure is built on standard K-12 ed-tech integrations: ParentSquare for parent communication, Ascender (TxEIS) for student information management, Follett Destiny for library catalog, Microsoft 365 and Google for SSO, and STOPit for anonymous safety reporting. Leadership includes Superintendent Richard Tedder, Assistant Superintendent Julie Koepp, and three campus principals; the district is governed by an elected Board of Trustees under Texas Education Agency oversight.
