January 6, 2015 - Superintendents from Joaquin, Shelbyville, Tenaha, Timpson and Excelsior discussed the impact of the funding level for small schools in Texas after a meeting with the Equity Center Executive Director, Dr. Wayne Pierce. Many of our funding levels and weights are underfunded, but why would the state purposely create a special formula just to penalize a group of districts? This question originated some 31 years ago and has continued with significate impact on our schools in Shelby County and another 463 statewide.

January 2, 2015 - If we fall ill or have an injury we want to be checked by our doctor as soon as possible.  After all, doctors are concerned with promoting, maintaining, or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and mental impairments.  Thus, we sometime tend to place them upon a pedestal for special admiration.
