North East ISD

More than a dozen people attended the North East Independent School District board meeting on Monday evening to protest an order requiring an NEISD teacher to remove a sign from her classroom.

North East ISD trustees voted unanimously Monday night to permanently close Driscoll Middle School, Clear Spring Elementary and Wilshire Elementary at the end of the current school year.

If trustees approve their recommendation, Driscoll Middle School, Clear Spring Elementary, and Wilshire Elementary will permanently close at the end of the school year.

At least a hundred people gathered at Wilshire Elementary Wednesday evening to learn more about a North East Independent School District proposal to permanently close Wilshire and two other schools.

Officials with Northside, North East, and San Antonio ISD said they have no plans to join the lawsuit, but they also have no plans to release their schools’ preliminary ratings of their own accord.

Many Texas school districts have passed deficit budgets the past few years to counteract rising costs with no increase in state funding.

Trustees of San Antonio's fifth largest school district, Southwest ISD, approved a 2% raise for full-time employees and a $1,000 one-time retention payment on June 12. District leaders warned that big cuts are coming next year if state lawmakers don’t increase funding.

The high-stakes — and high-dollar — trustee election for the North East Independent School District returned San Antonio’s second largest school district to a solid moderate board majority.

Saturday’s municipal election is particularly high stakes for the North East Independent School District, and the most recent campaign filings show that candidates — and their donors — have put equally high levels of funding up in the hope of securing a win.

Two candidates are running to represent the Reagan High School cluster in NEISD's Single Member District 6.
