The community will have a chance to ask questions about the status of Snyder Junior High School Monday night.
At 6 p.m. in Worsham Auditorium, Snyder ISD Superintendent Dr. Eddie Bland and members of the school district’s board of trustees will discuss the possible state actions against the school district and junior high school.
The school district will provide a light, grab-and-go meal at 5:45 p.m. Meals will be available while quantities last.
Bland and other officials will provide the public with the latest information on possible Texas Education Agency (TEA) sanctions.
A recent letter from TEA Commissioner Mike Morath informed the district that it faces the sanctions because of continued student performance issues at Snyder Junior High School, which has been rated as improvement required for the past five years.
Morath’s letter stated that if the school district’s appeal of the latest campus rating is denied, he would be required by the state education code to either close the campus or replace the Snyder ISD school board with a board of managers.
A decision on the school district’s appeal is expected in December, Bland said.
Whether the TEA’s action will be a strictly “either-or” is vague. Bland said earlier this year that it is possible Snyder may receive some “wiggle room” from TEA in dealing with the situation, but he could not say for sure one way or another.
