Couple of questions for the informed.... I am new to the OISD(Orangefield) district. My daughter is in Kindergarten this year, and I heard through the vine that there will be a bond coming up for a new "state of the art" highschool at Orangefield. I know they renovated it a few years back, but I believe that this district will be 4A in about 6-10 yrs. Seriously. We had a school function that was just for kinder's and I swear there were more 6yr olds at that thing than LCM has in their whole HS. Seriously. The elementary school in Orangefield has like 5A level enrollment.(Maybe exaggerated, but alot of kids)Well anyway, if this were to happen then there is absolutly NO room for the coming surge in enrollment. In my opinion, why not build a new HS on SH 1442? Plenty of space, and then you wouldnt have to deal with the VERY narrow Hwy 105. Picking up my daughter in the afternoons is like trying to leave a Dallas cowboy football game. Its that bad. I guess what I am trying to say/ask is if there were a bond to build a new HS in OISD, would yall support it, would 1442 be a good place, and do any of yall OISD people see what I see coming in the future?

First thing I would do is go to a few school board meetings, watch the agendas see what they are thinking, they are open to the public, just remember if you wish to ask about future plans you have to be on the agenda in most cases, which means you will need to get put on the agenda well ahead of time probably a week or two in advance. Most school boards will gladly share information with you. Get involved and go to the meetings. You will get to see a lot of the issues that the school board is dealing with.

I have not heard this Kicker.  The last bond issue failed twice before it finally passed.  They had to keep cutting it back until it was almost half of what was originally planned.  If this is in the works, I think it would be hard to pass again.  I'm for it, but would be surprised if it did pass especially with the way things are right now.  As far as location, it would have to be somewhere esle, there is no room where the current schools are located.  Enrollment overall in the district is down, but with the new sewer system coming online now, look for more subdivisions to startup as well as apartments.  The district should grow over the next 10 years.

      I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1.

      Virginia Judge Rules State Of Virginia Can't Strike Noncitizens From Voter Rolls!

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
