Said she was a 3rd grade teacher just 3 years ago. Has never hired ANYONE, much less this kind of hire. Just WOW is all I can say..lol She won’t be making the hire by herself. They have formed a hiring committee. They have a couple of people on the hiring committee that know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 7 hours ago, Eagle1986 said: How was board meeting last night in EF. Was told the same old same with people not wanting transfers. Same scare tactics that it will bring property values down and bring crime and the “wrong” kind of kids to the district. Best thing we ever did in Diana to keep this School dist from dying and consolidating with Ore City. Property values thru the roof. Homes sell as fast as they are listed and subdivisions being built right and left. No additional issues with discipline or with the “wrong” people transferring in. The family pays the transer fee and the state throws in their fees. Has worked out great. Many others districts I deal with feel the same. I guess EF knows something every other district in East Texas doesn’t about transfers. Any word on Supt or AD/HFC? person I talked to said the board went into executive session and they left. Diana has stopped accepting transfers. They don’t want to be Big 3A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The construction and home building is insane in the district. On my road alone, 2 new subdivisions alone, one with 3 homes, the other with 25. A line of people waiting to buy them. across 154 they are clearing another spot for I am told 25-40 homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Diana ISD Plan of Innovation Effective February 15, 2022-February 15, 2027 INTER-DISTRICT TRANFERS (Texas Education Code 25.036) Manner in which the statute inhibits the plan Under Texas Education Code 25.001, a district may choose to accept, as transfers, students who are not entitled to enroll in the district. Under TEC 25.036, a transfer is interpreted to be for a period of one school year. New Diana ISD maintains a transfer policy under FDA (Local) requiring nonresident students wishing to transfer to file a transfer application each school year. In approving transfer requests, the availability of space and instructional staff, the student’s disciplinary history records and attendance records are also evaluated by the Superintendent or designee. Transfer students are expected to follow the rules and regulations of the District. The District is seeking to eliminate the provision of a one-year commitment in accepting transfer applicants. On rare occasions, student behavior warrants suspension (in or out of school), placement in a disciplinary alternative program, or expulsion. In addition, student attendance may fall below the TEA truancy standard. In these rare occasions, New Diana ISD seeks exemption from the one year transfer commitment.

That is the key world right there. I’ll translate for the common folk. If you are good at baseball feel free to transfer in. Others need not apply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a graduate of ND, and I’m embarrassed of the football program, and how they still have not upgraded the High School or Middle school.

The supt and board has always had to approve a transfer. many many transfers going to Diana that don’t play any sport like my nephew and niece. They live north of Gilmer. Parents work in Longview. We not happy with the academics in Gilmer, so they transfered them to Diana. Drop them off right on the way to work each day. Bus drops them off at their grandparents house in the afternoon.

They have a really good 7th and 9th grade class right now, so it should improve unless those kids are forced to specialize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyenut24 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Kids are encouraged to be multi sport athletes. However, if you make one sport too demanding and interferes with their time to play other sports, these kids will chose to specialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t speak to that. I do see a lot of athletes working hard and trying to balance a lot today. The sports culture has created this idea that you have to spend a million hours in one sport to be good at it. That itself puts immense pressure on a multi sport athlete.

The old school people that have lived here for decades vote no without even reading the bond. they would be fine with them play basketball with a hoop in the parking lot. we did get one bond passed in 2017 after the one in 2014 failed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board has nothing to do with transfers. It goes to principals of the particular campus and Supt can override but board isn't in process. Also a district is audited on transfer acceptance and decline. Attendance. discipline. academics are factors in transfer approval. District is also audited yearly in said categories and state funding depends on how the district scores in said categories. .... All that being said. the district can decline any transfer on those basis so they can choose somewhat the make up on transfer approval to a certain extent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
