    navydawg31 got a reaction from James Mosley in Worst facilities in the area?   
    Many citizens of the Nederland are blind eye of what it is like to be a student at the school. When they opened up all the schools to show how bad shape they are in. It was a pathetic turnout. They had a slideshow of pics at a special meeting, not many people came out. The lack of advertising on the first bond was mind boggling. Many of the school members at that time wanted the citizens to vote no. They called house to house to tell everyone to vote no. That this was a sports only bond in reality it was not. The younger generation is running for the school board they are wanting a change. If you want a change get out and vote be involved.

    The main problem with Nederland bonds getting passed was the first one around 2009 was wrong information was put out before the citizens that the bond was all about Athletics. No new schools, board members were calling people’s house telling people to vote no. The whole thing was disaster. In 2012 they came back the “band aid” bond. Pass this bond we will get 20 more years out of the school. Which is a lie and pathetic. The older school board members are getting out and the younger new generation that know how the schools are taking a stand. Mr. Micah Mosley is running for school board, he is the type of change Nederland needs. He wants to get things done correct he’s taking a stand.  
     
    Words from Mr. Mosley- ’m pro-bond... Overall, I was disappointed in the 2009 and 2012 bond outcomes. If I am elected, I hope to have the opportunity to work with a bond committee on getting our facilities back on track. Ask your company's HR department what incoming families look at when evaluating the area. One of the biggest factors that influences where a family buys their home is the school district and its facilities. We all know friends and families that have even left Nederland due to the state of our facilities. I want to shake this up and push hard for improvements. In consideration of  tragedies over the years, it’s also time to get even more serious regarding the security of our facilities and the safety of our students. Some of these security vulnerabilities can be addressed through facility improvements. We have great teachers, great students, and great families in Nederland. Let's retain these three things that make Nederland great.  

    I'm pro-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)... STEM-related jobs are expected to continue skyrocketing over the next century. Over the years, our school district has taken huge strides in improving student interest in STEM. Who is the leading STEM school district in our area? Who is developing the next doctors, engineers, scientists, and STEM teachers the best? We can be that ISD! I want to further push for local industry partnerships, equipment, tools, teachers, and opportunities that can give our students a leg up on competition.  

    I'm pro-trade development... We need to recognize that not all students want to go to college. Considering the greater Houston area, we live in a refinery/plant metropolis. Great paying trade jobs - are - EVERYWHERE. A recent post on the NHS CTE facebook page showed a student with his lap joint weld. These are skills we need to commend, and I want to continue pushing for the development and expansion of our trade school and CTE programs.

    I'm pro-extracurriculars... Unashamedly, I might add. I can't say enough about the benefits of participating in our school sports, fine arts, UIL academics, and all of our other various clubs and organizations. These students learn teamwork, diligence, commitment, time-management, valuable leadership skills, and studies show they earn higher GPAs vs their non-participating peers. Participating on behalf of our community gives a feeling of honor and pride that just can't be taught in the classroom. We should celebrate our extracurricular success at Nederland and ensure we are equipping our students with the support, equipment, and facilities they need for continued success. A strong extracurriculars program is an attribute we need to sustain in Nederland.

    I say all that to say Nederland already does a lot of things really, really well. But we can be better, and we can do better. We can set the standard, and we should not sell ourselves short. I’m a firm believer our school district is the backbone of the city, and I’m passionate about Nederland taking pride in the black and gold. If you’re wanting to vote for someone that takes pride living in Nederland, that’s raising his family in Nederland, and will always seek and expect the best for Nederland, I’m your person.

    Help me be a voice for our students, teachers, and families!

    It is, straight from everyone’s mouth thatbhs moved.  If you move to the area with no ties at all and you tour png and Nederland schools which one you would prefer? If you have lived in the area for your natural born life and you attended those same exact schools as well as your parents and your kids are going there with mold infested cramped classrooms leaking roofs, everything dated and lived past its life with the same problems when you were in school would you want your kids to go through these problems. It is time to close it’s doors and start fresh and new.

    The question was asked when was the last bond passed. One in the past 50 years? And you replied 1997 the PAC building. Which was wrong 2012 was the last bond passed. Look above. But yeah bandaid it was, and we are currently alreadying having issues with the AC units they installed. I was told by a border member family member that the AC units purchased was actually refurbished not brand new. But to answer your question how do we get bonds to pass? To answer your question election is coming up and vote for candidates that are pro bonds, and are wanting new schools. If we fill those vacancies with people that want new schools that is your voice on the board. Then to follow up we need several meetings and walk around the schools again, invite the public and not be hush hush about it. The public was clueless on the first bond because they thought it was all about athletics which it was not. Many former board member spread the rumor that it was. Many of the older citizens at the time have now moved on and the city of Nederland is getting younger. Lot of the voices preaching that we need new schools went through those schools. My parents went to those same school, I went through those schools, now my kids as well are going through them. If Nederland doesn’t act and do something soon they will start losing key athletes to the area schools they have new schools. There is already 1 neighbor hood in BC that is almost all former Nederland star players. OF is starting to get one as well. I see it through out the community and all over FB people are leaving. It’s time to make a change. We have some of the best teachers in the area and test scores in the state. Time to push forward and treat our kids first rate not third rate.

    Katy ISD is routinely named one of the top School Districts in the State, let alone the country
    Meanwhile, I'm seeing footage on social media of a HS teacher at Nederland's class room under a deluge of water from Harvey. They won't change out the carpet because of the cost of the Asbestos Abatement. Seems like the football field isn't the only problem facilities wise over in those parts...

    Kirk Botkin should get job. He can coach some defense very well. Being a former tight end, he can relate to linemen on blocking, wrs with catching. He coached defense and special teams with Bobby Petrino in Arkansas. I’m sure if he is hired he will bring in other great assistants with him with college experience get the boys ready. He has great college connections since he has coached a little bit of everywhere with high names and can get the boys into a college after high school which is just as important in building young men.
