The overcrowding doesn't help. There are teachers using converted closets, the library and the cafeteria for class rooms. Pretty much all of the schools are out of space. Adding wings to the elementary schools and moving the 5th grade back down will help some, but there will be a need for additional space at the middle schools as well.

There is that danger. But the board didn’t want to possibly jeopardize the school upgrades if people were opposed to stadium upgrades.

Yes, the softball fields have had upgrades. There have been additional stands, a scoreboard and batting cages put in. I agree that it needs some additional work too. It definitely looks different from when i was there because there wasn't a field there at all!

Full list of the bond proposal: [Hidden Content] After extensive discussion at the February CAC meeting, the committee made the following recommendations to Nederland ISD which was accepted at this week's meeting. New High School ($82.7M) Includes but not limited to the following: *Built at same location *Focus on advancing CTE program needs *Designed learning environment based upon program capacity and modern teaching practices to strengthen and expand the academic experience *Performing Arts Center will remain in current location Elementary School New Learning Areas and Improvements ($49.1M) Includes but not limited to the following: *Additional classrooms including flexible learning & teaching spaces *5th grade expansion *Improved drop off/pick-up and parking *Additional & improved restrooms *Expanded and improved cafeteria & gym *Additional program space for occupational and physical therapy Middle School Improvements ($11.1M) Includes but not limited to the following: *Improved classrooms including flexible learning & teaching spaces *Improved drop off/pick-up and parking *Additional & improved restrooms Technology Initiative ($4.8M) Includes but not limited to the following: *Fiber optics *Infrastructure *1:1 devices Safety & Security ($3.4M) Includes but not limited to the following: *District wide improvements limiting physical access to campuses *Additional cameras *Safety vestibules Stadium Upgrades ($4.5M) - SEPARATE PROPOSITION Includes but not limited to the following: *Field turf *Improved restrooms *Improved press-box *Modified seating *ADA required updates Should bond money become available for improvements other than the listed projects, the committee would like the district to consider additional improvements to Bulldog Stadium. To include: field house/dressing rooms and concession stands.

The upgrades are to the stadium, but as previously stated, other groups will benefit as well. I am guessing a new high school will include new gyms and facilities for locker rooms, etc.

I hope so, we need to get the parents with school -age kids involved.

I believe 155.6 million I will have to double check.

Schools are on the bond. New High School and upgrades to the rest of the schools including security and technology. The stadium will be a separate proposition from the schools.

The Nederland ISD bond is set for May 4th. Stadium upgrades are included in this bond. (turf, press box, restrooms, etc.)

Dont forget Summer Creek.

Enough. Do not make threats on this board or you will no longer be on this board.

Missed it by THAT much.... (again)

Wade's defense held its own, but so did Belichicks. In the end the Ram's D wore down.

Well, the facilities are probably coming up for a bond this year, but I have never seen facilities win a game. Nederland beats teams with better facilities on a regular basis(Central, Ozen, United, Crosby , Barbers Hill, you get the point.) As far as pay, it is competitive and near the top for this area. Money doesn't just come from the sky.

So explain WOS and Newton. Where are the money and facilities there? That's a weak argument.

Its both. Coaches and players. There have been plenty of good coaches that don't have the kids to compete every year. And there have been teams that are plenty talented that haven't done anything much in district or the playoffs, including a few around here. If you take either one from the equation it fails.

I would consider Newton Southeast Texas. East Texas would be up to about Nacagdoches. Grandview, Aledo etc would be North Texas/Metroplex area. Liberty Hill , LaVega , Mart would be more Central Texas.

BISD schools don't have sponsors for a radio broadcast, Nederland and PNG do. Simple as that. Nothing is free.

Its in the Beaumont and Port Arthur papers, I heard them talking about it on 6 news. So what coverage do you want?

Thanks

Where is Peabody?

I think it’s time to move on.

Don’t say that too loud, give him a bigger head than he already has.

This game ain’t over, trust me
