Foundation Teacher Scholarships Available; Applications Due April 5

The C-FB ISD Educational Foundation has three teacher scholarships available. 

• Kathy Shelton and David Roberts Family Endowed Teacher Scholarship - In 2002, this scholarship was established to honor the memory of the David Roberts Family who was killed in a plane crash in 1992 by Leroy (a retired C-FB ISD teacher) and Erma Roberts, and Kathy Shelton, a C-FB ISD Content Mastery Teacher at Ted Polk Middle School. On December 24, 2002, Kathy Shelton died as a result of complications from surgery. At that time, the Roberts asked that the name be changed to honor their daughter Kathy along with David and his family.
