Underwood Rd baby!

Ennis ISD 56.6% hispanic 27.5% white 13.1% black 49.4% at-risk 100% econ disadvantaged (not sure if TX Tribune has that right lol or maybe Ennis offers free lunch to all students) Still similar demos to Jacksonville and Ennis is in DFW playing in generally tougher districts

I could see that...I also see private schools really tightening up their entry requirements so "undesireables" don't end up there

I dont forsee a ton of changes either way, there's already school choice across the state

Pretty sure its going to be internal since the HC became the supt

JMO but anyone who feels the San Marcos/North Shore situaitons are different should go back and watch both SEC hearings

San Marcos and North Shore are totally different situations IMO

Never mind some folks may have jumped the gun lol

Former Allen AD Steve Williams

Sounds like an announcement will be today

How do you address recruiting in MS without evidence of recruiting in middle school..the UIL can't go off "hey we heard ya'll were recruiting, tell us about that"

I think the biggest reason North Shore didnt get harder is the coach who was caught had only been there 1.5 years, the coach took full responsibility for the violations and the two kids he attempted to recruit never enrolled at North Shore. GPISD had a data driven presentation showing their program numbers, how many kids attended their MS, etc...the UIL commented on how well prepared they were....IMO there really was no evidence for a program wide-punishment for North Shore based on the hearing

Sounds very Clarksville of them

East Bernard is a pretty consistent winner in football, much more consistent than Harmony has been long-term....and apparently EB has some really good groups coming up

74 jobs have opened and been filled 43 are still open

It's a realignment year so there will be movement this year 200+ changes is quite common

Groveton hired Thursday, Bryan OC Mike Waldie East Bernard hiring Monday night Haven't heard much on LaVernia, Lumberton or Yoe Marlin just opened so I'd imagine they won't start things until after Spring Break

In my 7A tweet the 16 districts had this breakdown West TX: 1 District DFW: 4 Districts Houston: 8 Districts Austin: 1 District San Antonio: 1 District RGV/Laredo: 1 District The current 6A isn't much different than what 7A would look like West TX: 2 Districts DFW: 9 Districts Central TX: 1 District Houston: 12 Districts Austin: 2 Districts San Antonio: 3 Districts RGV/Laredo: 3 Districts

At worst Navasota to Freeport is about 3 hours Anthony to Crane is 4.5 hours

I think we may end up being wrong lol

We are thinking the same guy I bet
