SilverFox32 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Maybe I received some misinformation, but I was under the impression that La Marque ISD was going to be closing its doors at the end of the current school year, yet I'm seeing job postings listed for many positions next year. Can anyone clear this up for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 School has been absorbed by another school district. HS will still be open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermaroon Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yes thats what I heard still a high school just not a school district anymore. Probably just posting the jobs for legal reasons probably just going to hire all the people in place there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagleborn Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Being 3a , Lamarqe should be a big fish right. Good for them but I suppose they have to get there rating up or they close for good. They are losing students to Dickinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBuddyGarrity Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 They are losing students to Dickinson. Dickinson, TC, Hitchcock, got folks moving to the burbs of southern htown too. Wouldn't be surprised if they combined with TC in a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLineEATS Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 This is wild. Best of luck to them. Was a true powerhouse in the State of Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach0001 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The unfair part of this scenario may be now that Texas City ISD has taken control rumors are that may have bunch kids come back and be playing 3A D1 ball with 600-700 kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukeshot Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If too many students came back wouldn't the UIL reclassify them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sackem Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If too many students came back wouldn't the UIL reclassify them? That is where the UIL falls down. We were once beaten by a school with 5A#s playing 3A Division. They don't understand a quick growth in the big cities. Â I can not understand why they count 9-12 for the next two years when the 12 will be gone and replaced by a much larger or smaller 8 & 7 grade. only reason I can think of is where more than one junior high feeds a HS. but when you get to that size it doesn't matter as much.

Just curious what school were you referring to that had 5A numbers and was playing in a 3A division? Also I think counting 9-12 is the best and most fair way to do it, because how often do you see schools making huge jumps through classifications not very often unless they town itself is experiencing a lot of growth.

sackem Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I guess it has been a long time since Dr. Mike Moses was there, & the school has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be counting the kids from 8th - 11th grades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everman 2002-3 was a fast growing sub-b of Ft.Worth  I seen a lot of large or small 12 grade graduate and a reverse class move up from the 8th grade. when one student can be the difference in a division and there is a 25 student difference between the 8th grade class and the 12 grade class it makes a difference.
