I've been in this area since early 90's and I can remember the population of Beaumont not changing too much. Sometimes people love to throw smokescreens at you.

Use to be my team but I I can't stand the Cowboys!!!!!

Not fair. You never saw Renfro play!!!!  :)   Renfro ran punts, kickoffs, interceptions, AND running back when called upon.

Straight outta the horse's mouth

Why you wanna get these people all worked up so early in the morning?  :lol:

Hmmm, thats not what I heard this morning from the media report. The new guy will supervise the Board's decision making process. But he is not going to be in on every decision.

hMMM! I happen to know this person attended at one time, one of the highest academic respected schools in Texas.

lol!!!!!  Nope!!!

Waiting around hoping it would all go away. Seems prevalent in BISD

John Fielder said it best, "You People!"

A Raisin In The Sun!!!

NEW DIRECTIONS!!

"Fresh Start!" I like that. 

Most logical move to make. Too many opportunities blown.

Lack thereof in this case.

Substance!! 

The media is a powerful voice. 

And why is he hanging on the rim? It ain't like he has far too fall.

lol! That kid plays for "Each One Teach One"  Nike team out of Fla. He is too old for 15u

I feel like throwing up!!

Where is Moody? In New York? Who sent this to them?   The downgrade to A1 reflects severe governance problems plaguing Beaumont Independent School District (BISD), including lack of internal controls, a divided board, as well as allegations of fraud and multiple pending investigations. The A1 rating also takes into consideration recent declines in reserves, the district's sizeable tax base concentrated in the petrochemical industry, below average wealth levels, and an elevated debt burden with no additional debt plans in the near term.   The negative outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the district will face additional challenges in the near- to mid-term given the ongoing special accreditation investigation by the Texas Education Agency, as well as separate federal investigations. Additionally, the outlook reflects uncertainty surrounding the extent of future state involvement in the district's operations, as well as projected narrowing liquidity resulting from budgeted draws on General Fund reserves in fiscal 2013 and 2014.

Man, you can't even enjoy a little irony in the story. Relax, take a load off for a few minutes and enjoy the article...sheez!!!

So TEA said all of this? Or is this your opinion?
