An eagerly awaited meeting with Snyder ISD leadership and the TEA Commissioner came to fruition in Austin today. Eddie Bland, Ed.D., Superintendent of Snyder ISD, Ralph Ramon SISD Board of Trustees President, and Brad Hinton, SISD Board of Trustees Vice President, met with Commissioner Mike Morath to discuss sanctions against the district for Snyder Junior High’s academic rating. Texas Education Code §39A. 112(b) allows for parent petitions to direct the Commissioner’s decision. On October 31, 2019, Dr. Bland was presented with 313 petitions, a sufficient number to require the closure of the campus. In addition to the parent petitions for closure, Dr. Bland was presented with 486 parent and community petitions supporting the reopening of Snyder Junior High with a grade realignment.
The petitions will be delivered to the Commissioner no later than December 1, 2019. The next step will require SISD to develop and submit a comprehensive plan to reopen the campus, with the majority of the grades realigned.
“These next steps will require planning and partnership," states Dr. Bland. "We look forward to collaborating with parents, teachers, district leadership, community members, and the TEA to do what is best for our students."

We are SO excited to recognize our first group of students who have reached 100 steps on their reading practice logs. As of today, the goal is 86 steps, but these students have gone above and beyond!
Students earn steps every day! 1 step is equal to 15 minutes of reading. They should be getting 2 steps at school daily, 2 steps at home daily during the week, and 2 steps at home during the weekend. Each student should have a total of 22 steps or 5 1/2 hours of reading logged each week!!
Parents: Please make sure you’re signing reading logs at home! Making sure our students are immersed in reading is one of our priorities. We need your help in fostering a love of reading!
We are so excited to see how many steps are logged for our kids this year. Thank you for your help with this!
