Could Beaumont suffer the same fate as La Marque?

[The Icon]

According to Channel 12 News:

BREAKING: BISD on Accredited-Warned status from TEA. One of only 18 of our state's 1,205 districts warned to improve. Details on #12newssetx

Heard about this earlier this week.

But this subject is in the wrong forum. Being moved to Locker Room.

How so?  

Not trying to buck the system, but that wasn't the case when La Marque was being questioned was it?

Not an inappropriate topic.  It's just more a topic for the Locker Room forum than a political issue.

No, Beaumont ISD to too big to be taken over by anyone and I don't think any of the local school districts that border Beaumont will want to. Texas City was an easy choice. Wilmer-Hutchins up in Dallas had two to three districts say no before Dallas agreed to the takeover.

It's sad and mirrors the breakdown of our society.  Single parent kids with no father at home to insist that they do homework or study for test.  Products of "the Great Society".   Imo like A Pandora's box.  Now that it's open, no one knows what to do with it.

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.

It takes time to correct all the problems BISD created for themselves.

[Mr.Green Jeans]

BISD is not the only district with serious problems, but the only one the local media will expose due to influence.

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.

I think what OF is saying is that it has got worse for the crooks.

Won't happen.  The BOM has another year before they have to turn control back over to straighten out the finances.

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.

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

It has changed for the positive, but still has a long way to go due to the amount of damage that was left behind by some corrupt school board members that were elected by (ignorant) taxpayers, corrupt supers along with other corrupt administrators.  ACCOUTABILITY its about time.

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.
