  3. David, you and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. Phyllis was such an asset to CCISD. She was always the first to get her campus budget submitted each year. When my sons started at Bauerschlag Elementary, Phyllis was always there for us. She has been missed since her retirement. She is now in heaven watching over all of us.
