January 17, 2018 - After conferring with our Board President Aaron Roland, Vice President Ronnie Samford, and various TISD administration members and staff, we have made the decision to close operations for the remainder of the week due to excessive absenteeism due to the recent outbreak of the flu. Upon return to classes today, 20% of the student population and 15% of staff are absent and many of those have been confirmed with Type A flu or flu-like symptoms and/or fever. It is our belief that the only way to stop the spread of the virus is to cease operations and allow our support personnel the time and space to thoroughly disinfect all district facilities. Tenaha ISD will continue its Extra-Curricular schedule over the interim.
Also, Monday, January 22 will now be a student day of school. We expect all students to return to normal operations at that time.
We hope this action will allow those who are sick time to overcome their symptoms as well as give us time to eradicate any “bugs” that still exist on campus.

January 17, 2018 - Shelby County Sheriff Willis Blackwell reports the arrest of Aubrey Neal Graves, 47, of Center and Jessica Hedges, 32, of Center.
On December 19, 2017 Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Chad Brown was notified by Child Protective Services (CPS) that a court order had been issued by the State of Texas to remove a one year-old child in the care of Graves and Hedges. Brown tracked Graves and Hedges to a motel in San Augustine on December 20, where officers with the San Augustine County Sheriff’s Office detained the two and CPS took custody of the child.
On December 21, 2017 a hair test was performed on the child and a positive result was returned for methamphetamines.
A warrant was issued for Graves and Hedges for Abandoning/Endangering a Child (SJF) on January 11. The two were arrested in San Augustine County January 12 and released January 14 after each posted $10,000 bonds.
The SCSO would like to thank the San Augustine Sheriff’s Office for their assistance with this case.
