Could Beaumont suffer the same fate as La Marque?

A lot of you guys were happy that TEA took over BISD...and as you can see it hasn't changed anything as I said it wouldn't. 

1. They chopped off the head of the snake and others. 

2. It has only been just over a year. What kind of results were they supposed to have in something that took years to create?  

I am assuming that you would have a coach take over a perennial losing team, keep most of the same players and coaches and win the state championship the first year.

Since TEA has taken over the school's in BISD have gotten worse you're missing the point.

The whole thing has been spiraling in a whirlpool down the toilet for a long time. What has the TEA done that has made it worse? 

With all the scams discovered (such as changing grades) and the people indicted, convicted and sentenced to prison from the former administration, please name all the bad things done by the TEA. 

Again, you want then in a little over a year to correct years of corruption. I am sure they aren't perfect but I fail to see where it has gotten worse. Since you appear to have such inside information on all these atrocities committed by the TEA, please enlighten us with their faux pas and how much better the previous felons were.

The commissioner of TEA just released a statement of support for the BISD board of managers.  Also, the change of accreditation is a result of financial decencies that occurred before they took over.  I'm just curious: do you feel that the growing amount of thieves that are being convicted for stealing millions of dollars from students and taxpayers is a good thing?  Or should they have been allowed to continue stealing from the district?  Because as far as I can tell, things have changed considerably since the BOM took over, with the biggest change being that high ranking employees are no longer using stolen BISD funds as a source of supplemental income.

BISD is 1 of 18 school districts in the State of Texas out of around 1200 to be put on Accredited-Warned status

As a result of financial issues that occurred before the BOM was installed.  BISD has the support of the president of the TEA.

That woman going to court now says she "only" embezzled this amount.....not that amount. Give me a break.

Yes, what I understood was she said, "I only took a $150,000", which had me in a state of disbelief.  It's an indication of the mind numbing amount that was stolen when "only $150,000" come out together.

One has to wonder what made it so easy for all these criminals to embezzle money away from the kids. WB was complaining that they needed a new weight room. Couldn't afford it since these people were building their fine homes and taking trips. What sorry individuals they truly are, but let's start measuring their criminality by how much they embezzled........REALLY? Guilty is guilty, not by how much.

    • RWG Stem vs Liberty Magnet tips off in 5 minutes in the main gym.
    • REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.  
    • They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.
    • Brookeland is playing Frankston in Aux gym. Game started at 1pm  
    • What’s your take on brookeland?  How do they compare to those teams in the late 90s early 2000s?
