re: This is the real danger to our Republic- the indoctrination of children in schools
Posted by alteroviously on 2/18/26 at 9:12 am to Flats
The number is actually 31%. It is very real. IEP covers many "disabilities."
Special Ed, which now includes Dyslexia. Speech was added a few years ago and that ballooned the numbers since almost any kid can qualify. 504 plans. A long list. We are about 10 percent higher than most districts but our county gets higher net benefits for crazy checks and other public assistance so we draw them en masse.

There is increased funding for these students. It doesn't come close to covering the cost of the programs required to meet nearly every IEP made.
So yes, follow the money, but follow it to where it actually winds up. Take for instance private companies that contract service providers for services required by IEPs. Get an LLC, hire providers, then gouge the schools. Frankly it makes prices during an emergency look paltry.
My district almost breaks even on a Gen Ed student. Average loss per student with an IEP is just under 3k on average. We have just over 30 percent of our enrollment with an IEP. It is a losing proposition. And as a rule, the parents do not give a rat's arse. They want the crazy check!

re: MAHA agenda: school lunches are next. A lot of our schools don't even have an oven anymore

Where is this happening?
Been a school administrator in Texas for quite a while. I have yet to receive my cut.
However, another response in here mentioned getting lunch served by ladies with a Goatee. I agree. And if I could get past the bureaucracy and turn my cafeteria ladies loose in the kitchen...would be some serious grub happening.

It became one of the top 2 or 3 fastest growing districts in the state for a few years.

In Texas there are too many of these units for DOT to turn them off. Also, there are many different versions of school calendars, 4 or 5 day weeks. Way to many variables. We do make sure to turn in a request to be off during summer break and those are handled easily enough.
If DOT would allow schools to control them it would be easy to do but DOT controls them. No problem with me since I would not want to be the one to do it.

re: I can’t get enough of shooting pigs. 2026 Pig Tracker.
Posted by alteroviously on 2/3/26 at 9:53 am to Rize
Last year's tally was 16. 5 hunters and all taken from a stand. This year, we did not see a single pig whether on camera or while hunting. I know they will be back but it greatly improved the deer killing. Just under 150 acres, East Texas.
re: How to get your kid into another school within the same ISD
Posted by alteroviously on 1/29/26 at 10:22 am to TideSaint
It would be nice to have OP weigh in on comments. Most advice seems to be referencing a move to another district and I take the prompt as a move to a different campus within the same district.

I assume you are asking about a transfer within the same ISD and not looking to join neighboring ISDs. If so there are provisions in law that help. Particularly the parts referencing bullying and academic underperformance of the school your student is at.
TLDR incoming:
Reasons for Transfer: Common reasons include, but are not limited to, bullying, safety concerns, specialized programs (magnet/charter), child care, or employment of the parent.
Public Education Grant (PEG) Program: If your child attends a school rated as low-performing by the TEA, you have the right to request a transfer to another campus within the district.
Transportation: Parents are usually responsible for transporting students who attend a school on a transfer. If your student(s) are moving due to one of bullying, safety, etc...you can usually have transportation approved.

I am close enough to Wharton that I can guarantee you no one there is making 800+ thousand.

As an administrator at a school that is not failing kids...1000 percent this. I am content to make far less than my peers in urban areas not to have to del with the BS they do.
