SCHOOL CLOSURES FOR MONDAY, 8/28


WOSgrad

Recommended Posts

Just received this message from Dr. Patterson at Orangefield ISD.  It is the first but I don't think it will be the last:

Due to the recent flooding throughout the area, Orangefield ISD will
not hold classes for the immediate future. At this time, we want to
allow our families and district patrons to be able to focus on the
care of their family, friends and neighbors. On behalf of the school
district, we pray for everyone's speedy recovery and safety. We will
continue to post updates with more accurate timelines as that
information becomes available. Our OFAM is BOBCAT STRONG! God bless
all of you.

Dr Stephen Patterson.

From West Orange-Cove CISD superintendent Rickie Harris, "School is canceled until further notice. We plan to re-evaluate late next week to see if setting a start date is possible. Please know that our prayers are with all of our students and staff. God bless all of you!"

This is all so crazy! I manage a small business and the thought of where we go from here is overwhelming, but I can't imagine what school district officials are going through right now. Where do we even begin....

    • That’s a president? How embarrassing. 
    • Really good hire! As I stated previously on this thread, Mike T has been an essential part of WB’s success the last few years & is a student of the game & I have a ton of respect for how he goes about things as a coach. Big on teaching kids how to do things the right way to prepare them for not only basketball but the game of life. He’ll be fine there, my only question is what kind of talent does WB have returning?  Best thing about this situation for Mike T is WB will be 5A for at least the next 2 years, so he should win a lot of games & have some deep playoff runs.
    • So which coaches kid gets the QB job? Trotter or Barrier
    • A Winnie land owner (and others) sued the State of Texas after they built IH-10 a few feet higher in order to help contain storm flooding. Sure enough a hurricane hit and flooded the land. The storm improvements worked!! Unfortunately the state sacrificed several people’s properties in using the interstate highway as a dam.  Richard DeVillier tried to sue Texas under our laws and Constitution and the US Constitution under the Fifth Amendment “taking clause” (eminent domain). After a favorable ruling in the federal district court on the right to sue Texas directly, the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans overturned that ruling and said that the DeVlier had no authority to sue Texas directly.  On Tuesday a unanimous US Supreme Court ruled that DeVillier and others had the right to sue Texas directly under Texas law and under the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution. The case is now sent back down to the lower court. DeVillier and others have not won their lawsuits as the case has not been decided on its merits at a trial. He still has to go to prove his case. What they did win was a unanimous Supreme Court agreeing that he has the right to bring Texas to trial for taking his property with just compensation.
