Buna ISD Grades- Did the School District Fail???

 The Texas Education Agency( TEA) has released the 2023 grades for the school districts in the state. 

And here are the latest scores for the Buna Independent School District. 

Overall= C 78/100

Buna Elementary= B

Buna JH= C

Buna HS= C

Buna HS went down from a B to a C.

Now, would we like it higher? Yes, of course, but the way things are taken off the score now, including things that really don't have anything to do with academics. I am not shocked....

And, the scores/rating has changed since 2022. 

And this is coming from the TEA. So, unless they are talking about a take over, I would not panic.  Again, we'd like the scores higher. 

And the Wichita Falls ISD according to the Texas Tribune is in danger of having the State of Texas take over the district due to scores. And where was the present Supt. of Schools at Wichita Falls ISD, Supt. of Schools right before he was hired at WFISD?  Yep.....You are correct...

Quick story on scores- One year during Inservice training, the Buna Supt. of Schools had Region 5 Service Center, a part of the TEA come out for training to increase out districts test scores. 

The Buna High teachers were all sent into separate groups , classrooms, for training to increase our scores. The Social Studies teachers were, at best not really paying attention to the witch teaching our course told us, "She was going to increase our scores by at least 5-10%. "

The Asshole who was the History/ Social Studies Department Chair told the witch " You're not going to be able to help us any." 

Incensed, and turning red, she said, " Yes, I am certain."

To which the Asshole Chair said, " No, we scored the highest score in Region 5 that past testing period, we scored a 100%." 

BTW- I was so proud of that dept.  Best in Region 5? And here is the thing, no one cared but us.....Didn't hear a word from an administrator, not a word from the damn school board....

Later that day, the witch from Region 5 went to the Supt. of School and ' Told on me.' 

BTW- Every Supt. of Schools wants to move to a Region Service Center for a job, be it Region 1 or Region 20.  Easy job, little pressure, big paycheck. 

Yeah, I got into trouble. 

Yeah, I'd do it again.....
