Klein likes to throw around the population of Nederland a lot, and even when corrected still doesn’t admit that NISD serves a lot more people than those that reside within the city limits. Parts of Bmt, PA, PN, and those with Nederland addresses that are out of the city limits also attend NISD. Hell, the Bug Man on Spurlock that you mentioned is not in the Nederland city limits.
17,547 was the population from the 2010 census done 9 years ago. I assume with all of the new Apartments, duplexes, and single family houses built this decade, that number will increase a good bit on next year’s census.
Now add all of the people that live in Stonegate, Central Gardens, Highland North, Beauxart Gardens, Dominion Ranch, Stillwater, Greenhill, Minaldi Place and many other areas that reside in Nederland Independent School District. That is significantly more people that the numbers you and Klein like to throw out there.
