Im not surprised. TC and Dickinson will get a little more help athletically, as if they needed it.

Does this mean that the winner of District 9-4A-II gets a bye in bi-district if this appeal is upheld?

[AggiesAreWe]

This would also create a 3 team football district. Houston Kashmere, Scarborough and Worthing.

Does this mean that the winner of District 10-4A-I gets a bye in bi-district if this appeal is upheld?

 

You mean 9-4A DII?

 

The answer would be yes.

gotta print new Scarborough shirts dangit...they in 3rd now!!! Congrats gentlemen.

So that means that potentially, WO-S could have two open weeks in a row.  Not liking this.

19 was too many teams in that region anyway. Now 18....now we'll get a true picture of what the region champ is supposed to look like.

Just read where they are also planning on closing Jonesboro (recent six man power) and Brookesmith as well. They will be the third and fourth schools to close out there in the past three years. Texas sure is changing quick from the rural days.

I know this is a Beaumont area forum and some may not understand the importance of these two schools but this may just be the beginning of the closings. Lot small schools out there that are struggling to make it financially and rely on transfers from the city schools (2As and 3As). At some point it will be too much and when the school goes the end of the community won't be too far away. Where I'm from (3A town) there are 7 of these communities within 20 miles and in 10 years only 2 will most likely still exist. Everyone understood Novice and Star shutting down but these two are shocking and really to me signifies the beginning of the end. In football terms legendary programs and some of the best rivalries in all of texas are in their last quarter.

Just had to give my thoughts on this. Just stunned. Absolutely stunned.

ESPECIALLY BMT

ESPECIALLY BMT

And in Nederland (Port Arthur). Wouldn't you agree?

Every town has their share, BMT seemed to let their share run the school district.

And Nederland's problems have occasionally leaked to the public.... 1800's buildings and student uniforms because of refusal to pass a bond just to name 1...

Lol, do you want to make comparisons??   :rolleyes:

[BMTSoulja1]

We can. It's up to you. ;)

[AggiesAreWe]

C'mon Soulja. No other area school district's problems can compare to BISD's problems. That's a fact, not opinion.

 

No denying that other local school districts have their own issues, but when making comparisons, when another local district gets taken over by state and sup and school board is booted out, then you can get back with me on the comparisons. Otherwise, BISD stands alone as the most corrupt and dysfunctional school district in our area.
