District 12-3A D1 Predictions


Recommended Posts

Funny you ask. Let's see..

Carthage, Tatum, Glimer, Rusk, Mart, East Bernard, Teague, Franklin, Austin Suburb schools, Katy Suburb schools, most centex schools, most west texas schools, Albany, most panhandle schools, Dallas suburb schools...pretty much ANYWHERE.. Go on a field trip. Please.

There is not one single school east of hwy45 and south of hwy7 that's not considered a joke as far as facilities or school operations. Accept Barbers Hill. And there are 2A and 3A schools as nice as Barbers Hill.

It can be fixed tho. But school board members and community people say "that's how we did it when I was in school"

I would not have let my kids be educated here.

 

surely your company has a office in one of those areas you just named?   We will miss you....bye!

I haven't seen anything change from the standings stand point.

 

Kirbyville

Buna

East Chambers

Kountze.

 

The four spot could get interesting if Kountze overlooks Anahuac or Woodville.

As for as facilities go I have had a lot of experience with school budgets and the last thing you want to do is spend your fund balance on athletic facilities . If your campus is deteriorated a bond issue is the way to go.

What do u know about school finance and what it takes these days to run a district in the state of Texas...I can tell I do know and you make some very uninformed statements Sir! Just as you have in the past. You get on here and make factual type statements when it's just a poorly thought out opinion. If you want to have a debate than bring it...as far as the statement of education in SETX, well thats just another opinion. I know a multitude of fine educators in this area and many districts that do a great job with educating our children; yes there are always a few that struggle but no more than other parts of the state.

What I know about school finance and how to run a school is from what I've been told by several close, personal friends and acquaintances in the education BUSINESS. Including teachers, board members, administrators, coaches, and athletic directors.

I know that it is SUGGESTED to have 3 months operating expense in the school's fund balance. It's not a law...it's a suggestion. I also know there has never been a public school in this state shut down because of not doing so.

Schools that understand economy know that 4mil today will not buy you the same thing a year from now that it will today. Inflation is 3% a year..period. The cost of metal and concrete have either doubled or close to it in the last 10 years. So why sit on it? Well...ignorance I guess.

Call Teneha and ask why they hav such nice stuff. Then ask how much money they have in the school's fund balance. You will start to understand.

I also know that Barbers Hill has better teachers than Nederland. Does Ned have bad teachers?.. No. But BH pays so much more that when a job is open they literally get to hand pick a teacher out of thousands of applicants. Does Ned hav 10k applications for a teaching or coaching job? Nope. Then...the teachers at BH do a better job out of fear for losing it. It's simple. Fact is tho...there are small schools all over the state just like BH. Just go see for yourself.

***MY POINT...I want to know your personal hands on experience and not second and third hand??? I'm not trying to be a jerk or silence an opinion, but it's not so simple as alike minded folks laying out a direction and then pulling the essential order together and then moving forward.
TAX BASE
TAX RATE
SATURATION OF BOND CAPABILITY
ENROLLMENT
CAPABILITIES OF PAY RATE

STATE AND FEDERAL ASSISTANCE
LEVEL OF POVERTY IN THE DISTRICT
NUMBER OF 504 IN THE DISTRICT

SIZE OF DISTRICT AND TRANS. EXPENSE
***SIR I CAN GO ON AND ON***

I have been involved with the education process for several years and been raised by educators. You make these blanket statements based on what your told...YOU TAKE EVERYONE OF THOSE TOPICS AND THEN APPLY THEM TO OUR AREA AND SPECIFIC DISTRICTS IN QUESTION AND THEN HOW THEY THEY NEED TO HANDLE THOSE AREAS OF QUESTION AND THEN YOU COME WITH YOUR PIE IN THE SKY...when you can do that and support your position, I personally will listen and quiet frankly take lengthy notes for immediate application, because I promise I want more for all of our kids: Athletes and Academics!

I do understand what you're saying. And I do understand that the things you listed vary from school to school. Special Ed students, kids on free lunch, tax base....trust me I understand the funding is different for each school district. But I do know that there are similar towns and districts that are doing something...and it wouldn't hurt to find out exactly what is happening.

I also know that it makes no sense to have classrooms or administrative buildings in portable buildings if your school had 5mil in a "rainy day" fund.

I do not have any personal hands on experience with it. So I do understand where you're coming from on that. Most if my ex college teammates went into education and they tell me more than they should...so I am knowledgable on the subject. Plus my first wife was a teacher. But no I had no dealings personally. I'll admit that what I know is thru other sources.

The fact that Anahuac has only scored 27 points all year not only astounds me, but gives me a lot of confidence heading into this week :)

I went to first half of Buna and Anahuac game. They did have a good drive that they scored on. Anahuac had the ball inside their own 5 yard line. They made a couple of first downs then broke one to Buna's ~10 yard lne. They punched it in for their 7 points.

Yeah and I'm not gonna be naive. Anahuac always has good athletes. And good athletes=points in highschool football usually lol

Without a doubt this District is a beast as is the whole Region of Doom
Three great teams at the top
Just check this board every once in awhile scoping the Bi District Competition Malakoff Tiger here

Someone asked about Rockdale they beat Yoe last week and are vey legit
Don't overlook Glen Rose either like Buna down a class and were 2 rounds last year in that class and 4 rounds the year before that
