TradinUp BH Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 The city could save tons of money by doing away with police department. They could go back to hiring Beaumont PD for probably $40 an hour, but not have to worry about health insurance, retirement, police vehicles, etc. There are alot of school districts that have PD's, but when it comes to crunch time, districts can save alot when contracted out to city and county. Problem is the school district can't dictate who is arrested, ticketed, etc. Police can actually take care of issues instead of political BS. That's the straight up answer. Districts only create PD's to keep everything under the rug. Beaumont PD is $35 a hour to contract them for security. I think a district PD can be effect with the right chief in place. I think it is good thing for the safety for the students. BPD and Jefferson County SO handled security just fine for many years before they created the ISD PD. The problem for the ISD is that Beaumont PD won't allow the administration to dictate their job as police officers. Quote

fox Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Posted August 15, 2014 Close Ozen. central would seem more practical. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 central would seem more practical.Isnt Central gaining enrollment? Ozen on the decline, next realignment I expect them to drop to 4A. Too much politics though, honestly I dont see BISD closing any HS. Quote

Too much politics though, honestly I dont see BISD closing any HS. which school is gaining or losing enrollment really would not matter. if one school closed the other two would gain enrollment. i was thinking more along the lines that ozen is a newer school with better facilities than central. i would not put anything past this new school board they don't care about politics. they are here to fix the budget problem bottom line.

BMTSoulja1 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 Hate it or love it, Ozen is here to stay... Now that I think about it, non of the high schools will be closed down ( I know 'some' don't like this. But imo, there will still be some cuts here and there made throughout the district. I'm other words, the new board will probably nickel and dime it. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

Bigdog Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 I believe that they are closing one of the middle schools. Austin, I think. Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 They've combined Austin and MLK middle schools... They will attend classes at MLK. Austin (the building) is closed down... Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 Or maybe close down Central this season... errrr this year and just have Westbrook in 6A and little Ozen in 5A Quote

outanup Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 The new board will do what it takes to right the ship.... As for closing a HS , too late this year..... But never say never. Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 I was messing with BmtSouljah and Central. Quote
Skilled95 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 I think BISD Police are complaining, because they wanna keep there jobs. If I was on the board the School Police would be the first to go. There taking up entirety to much funding Quote

There taking up entirety to much funding i agree but i guess you could say that about athletics also. i heard rumors that nederland has offered to lease the BUTCH for their home games since they play so well there………….. ;) Quote
87JAG Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 Aggies they should have done that when the state cut funding for all districts 3 years ago. Every district around here started cutting back. We steadily taking cuts in the back. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
dme1111 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 I think Coach Neumann would do great with all that Beaumont talent. Send them to Big NED!!! Seriously though, very sad situation for these kids to have to deal with. Its a no win situation. Quote
