At the July 12, 2021 Itasca ISD Board Meeting, Hill County Constable Pct. 4 and Itasca ISD Board Trustee Kevin Cordell was honored with a plaque for his efforts in the May 13, 2021 high speed chase and shootout that stretched throughout our county. Constable Cordell was shot during the chase, but has made a tremendous recovery and has wasted no time returning back to his duties serving our county, our students, and his community. The plaque he was presented reads as follows:
