If they do, they'll lose a year of varsity eligibility, the kids that are already grandfathered in, that is...

Are you really implying Nederland would have more talent then Westbrook?? I hope not

Is West Brook's ability to compete is 6A really any less than Nederland's ability to compete in 5A?  Neither is winning a state championship next year but WB probably has more returning talent top to bottom.

That is the newest of the 2 middle schools.

3 elementary schools were built in the mid-60s. The other one was built in 1937. 

Keep in mind that if this is true, it's the people still appointed by the state pulling the strings...

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. 

Wrong. The last bond that was passed was what I call the “bandaid bond” around 2012 and completed in 2014.

while working on the schools from the bond that passed the leaked information and status pics of the school were absolutely disgusting and disturbing. 

I support Katy ISD and any other district that put their staff and  kids’ interest (health/safety/technological/etc) first. 
I don’t think anyone is saying Nederland is a bad district. But could you imagine how much better with improved facilities for students and teachers?

The last two bonds that called for the building of new schools in Nederland ISD failed the last one in 2012 called for one new elementary school and one new middle school btw that middle school was built 60 years ago 

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. 

What is really sad is Livingston has built 2 High Schools and a Jr. High since that was opened in '72.

Definitely not. That building is the newest school in the district it was opened in 1972. My parents, who are in their 80’s, attended both middle schools and one of the elementary schools. 

The major plus of having KRH as head coach, he hustle scholarships for his players.  Nuemann was the polar opposite.  So let him stay in retirement, please and thank you

Don't want to get too far off subject but......Nederland needs new blood on the school board. Out with the old, and in with the new. I smell change.

Hmmm..  saving the best for the big stage, huh?  Keep it up. Young fella.

Gentlemen, if you wish you to have a Buna/Kirbyville cat fight, please take it to another thread.

Dang CB, you are the classic Dan Patrick supporter. Public Education is the backbone of this country. Are you an East Coast Yankee Elitists? Who do you think should pay for our children'e education? And try not to forget that we are talking about the future leaders of this nation.
And these people who own multiple properties and business are NOT the ones that keep School Bonds from passing. It is your average homeowner who thinks their property taxes are going to sky rocket. Or worse yet, the fixed income retired people who's property taxes are "locked" and won't even go up if a Bond is passed.

Nederland needs new schools before they even think about upgrading athletic facilities.

No doubt the facilities at Ned could use some upgrades....I have to think the field is in bad shape due to the saturating rain's we've received. I will say this...Ned coaching staff does as much with less than anyone around.

Seriously not trying to hurt any feelings here BUT...man the Nederland facilities are HORRIBLE. The long jump pit boards are all out of wack. Literally not even close to being a flat surface. Just old rotten out boards sitting at uneven angles. I thought for sure someone was going to break an ankle. The track itself is full of peaks and valleys and dip-de-doo's. Couldn't even see the curves because there are no lights. Kids literally having to run in the dark until they reach the straight away. Worst facilities bar non I've ever seen for a high school track competition.
I remember last year it was LIGHTLY raining and there were literally lakes forming on the track. A couple of teams actually just packed up and got on the buses and went home. Several athletes were stumbling and slipping.
I'm sorry if it seems like I'm busting on Nederland...I am NOT but at the same time I am. Those kids DESERVE MUCH BETTER. IT IS A SHAME.
INSTEAD OF THE DOG POUND THEY SHOULD CALL IT THE JUNKYARD.
Sorry but just being honest.

There are lots of fans at both PNG and Nederland who have had season tickets for decades and don't go, or go only when it's a hyped up game.  That's probably why you see empty seats most of the time Soulja.

Like + a thousand. These kids are our future. The more that we can get educated, whether it be thru sports or academic scholarships, the better. There are thousands upon thousands of opportunities.
The senior counselor at PNG sends scholarship info thru remind 101 and text.. My phone is constantly going off with notifications daily.  You don't have to be in sports, you just have to want it.

Hello everyone,

My name is Terrell Brittain and I am deaf. I want to tell you how I feel and need express my feeling as well. I suppose to graduate with class of 1998. I went to West Orange Stark in 1994-1996 and played football and baseball. You don't have to read this if you don't like to read long message! Haha

You might wonder why my user is WOS1986. Let me explain why. When I was little boy and went first state championship WOS vs. McKinney in 1986 that how I remembered. After that, my dad keep take me to watch WOS every Fridays and I told him that my dream is to play Mustang with silver and blue helmet on me.

I went to Texas School for the Deaf in Austin, TX. I realized that there is Deaf world and impact my life that who I am and reason why I have been success with my career. I am professor at University of Houston to teach American Sign Language for Interpreting program. I am proud what I done and pride deaf myself. I marry to deaf wife and had precious 2 kids who are hearing but they know the sign language that can communicate with us which is amazing. I am happy man and enjoy to continue great journey with many more years later. My wife really love to attend WOS game even she never attend WOS and really enjoy to watch football games. 

Sometime, I feel regret that I left without say goodbye or let them know to my friends, players, teachers, and coaches. I played nose guard in defense. In 1994 freshman year, first practice at football was so amazing and coaches allow me to play since most people think deaf can’t play anything which is not true and I prove coaches that I can play. I ended up play junior varsity team after only 2 or 3 games for freshman team because I play so hard and like animal tackle quick. In 1995 sophomore year, practice on the field somehow coach T call my name to play with varsity group then I suddenly shock and not play well myself that is not who I am then coach put me back to junior varsity team again because I was not ready. When I arrived home and I was so mad and upset myself because I was so close to varsity team. Coach call my name to be part of this team for playoff and I was so thrilled about that and I never forget that game which is against LaMarque  in 1995 and lost 7-18. I was so hurt bad and pissed off after that game because I see Sias, Lock, Feathers, and Bernard that they were hurt and want win so badly. One day, Lock and Bernard came to me and chat that we will win state champion in 1997 with our classmate so I agreed with them and make me so fire up and goal. However, I ended up went to Austin school.

I never forget that game in 1997. My team (Austin school) got out of the playoff before Thanksgiving so that Thanksgiving week I went to home and asked my brother to take me to watch WOS vs. LaMarque in the playoff. When I arrived and saw my boys during warm up and was hurt myself because I suppose to play with them. When LaMarque open drive and ran the wide open hole middle on WOS defense. I was so pissed off and sick about that and wish that I played that. Maybe or maybe not, if I played and it could be a little different game because I will big fire up and animal as monster to hit hard LaMarque.

I will always bleed in silver and blue no matter what! Even I live in northeast of Houston and still attend watch WOS in Orange that take me 1 and half hours to drive but worth and show my loyal to them. When I can't go then I always look this website to see follow up the score. I really enjoy to see my old friends.

Please do not critique my grammar English cause English is my second language while ASL (American Sign Language) is my first language. That is reason why I don’t post much after I saw sometime people post and insult their language or poor in English. Everyone treat same equal and its human.

I want thank WOSgrad and kicker that encourage me to post and express my feeling and tell who I am so now everyone know who I am.

Sorry for LONG message that you had to read. It is worth for me to tell my feeling now I feel better. Please share with anyone who doesn’t have this account.

Go Mustangs!!!
