So Buna ISD is not eligible for free lunches and free breakfast under the CEP Federal Government Program. That's where everyone gets free meals, rich or poor.
LCM, Vidor, Silsbee, Kirbyville are all eligible......
Buna is not.
Have we been told well, for almost 40 years that I know of that Buna ISD is a poor district, I was told off the record by a administrator that Buna doesn't " Have a pot to piss in." Is that in truth a lie? For years, Buna ISD was the poorest paying school district in Region V. I literally made peanuts when I was at Buna. And while the pay is better, it is not to the point to attract the best and brightest to the classroom.
Are people just not signing up for free meals, even if they are eligible? The old "pride factor?"
And if we are now rich, why not put a bond out and build a new stadium over on the new Educational megacomplex off FM 253?
That's the long goal isn't it? Put the school near the football field? ( That said, Dayton has the stadium in town away from the school 3 1/2 miles, and Llano has their stadium down the road about 1 mile from the high school. Both are turf.)
Sometimes it is easier to leave stuff where it is. And cheaper.
I've been looking at the cost of grass versus a turf field and in the long run, the upkeep, cost of a grass field is so much more in this day and age than a turf field. ( Then again, there is the injury factor to consider with a turf field vs a grass field.)
I don't know, the math ain't mathing this morning....
Just stuff to ponder on a Friday....
