May 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

The day-long event was an opportunity for the community to see how the district has evolved since it was established in 1935, and for the district to showcase what is has to offer today and where it is headed in the future.

“We wanted people to come and see the rich history of the community and the district, to see how we’ve achieved 75 years of excellence in education and the tremendous growth that has taken place in our district,” said Cindy Doyle, director for community relations.

Concept schools, such as Roberson Middle School — a math, science and fine arts academy, the online Virtual School and Early College High School were highlighted, Associate Superintendent Regina Curry said, to demonstrate how the district has adapted to the needs of today’s students, while providing an excellent education.

OC provides scholarships for dual credit

May 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

OC President Gregory Williams said the college would try to find more money to help the high schools, if needed.

“We’re having to do things differently, and we’re having to change a lot of things, but we know this is important,” he said.

A decision on whether the University of Texas of the Permian Basin continues to offer free tuition on dual-credit courses in the fall has yet to be made. But Katherine Phillips, UTPB admissions counselor, said funding in place through the Texas Virtual School Network will allow for free tuition on dual credit classes for incoming high school juniors and seniors in the summer.

State Lawmakers Consider Virtual High School

April 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Imagine attending all four years of high school without entering a classroom with a teacher. Legislation headed to the floor of the Texas Senate makes that possible by creating a virtual high school. KERA’s Shelley Kofler went to Celeste in Hunt County for a preview of what some are calling the future of education.

High School Sophomore Frances Wilgus has big career plans.

Wilgus: I want to work as a professor in Paris and I want to study medieval and gothic architecture.

But to do that Frances needs to learn French, a subject not offered at her small, rural high school in Celeste. In fact the entire school District in Hunt County has just over 500 students and the only one foreign language teacher for Spanish.

Schools, budgets and the Texas comptroller’s security breach

April 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I would like to respond to the issue of an online school for Windham School District, the public school system for prisoners. As a Windham teacher and also a public school teacher, I don’t think the student population I serve would be a good candidate for online education. Even with online education, the students still need face-to-face instruction.

Students enter Windham with very negative attitudes toward education, and we first must convince them that we are qualified to teach and that they are capable of learning.

The open range: West Texas is losing people

April 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Just 475 students are enrolled in the Culberson County-Allamore school district, almost 200 fewer than seven years ago. Eighty-nine percent are Latino, and 82 percent qualify for free or reduced-price school lunches, an indicator of poverty.

“We’re pretty remote,” agrees Superintendent Guillermo Mancha Jr., who moved to Culberson County three years ago after serving as principal of a 1,400-student middle school in Fort Bend County. “We lose families every year. We lose kids. And when we lose kids, we lose funding.”

With just 46 teachers — the district relies on the Texas Virtual School Network for some advanced classes — Mancha has little wiggle room for the coming state budget cuts. Soaring gas prices have made it more expensive to bus students from across the county and to send them to neighboring districts for athletic and academic competitions.

Online courses cause schools to suffer

April 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Despite limited evaluation of its efficacy, web-based learning is now the predominant alternative to standard forms of education, due to its low cost and relatively low use of school resources. But the monetary savings could soon be overshadowed by poor student performance, inferior curriculums and high school graduates ill-prepared for college.

More than one million kindergarten through grade 12 students are enrolled in online classes, with schools benefiting from estimated savings in the thousands of dollars per student. A typical online course costs a school approximately $100 to $275 per student, while the same course taught in-person can be up to four times this amount, according to The National Education Association.

Time now for virtual schools

March 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment

While it is early to gauge the full impact of virtual schools in Texas, early returns in other states with more established programs are promising. Texas legislators should consider a drastic expansion of digital learning to make it available to more of our high school students.
Fortunately, Gov. Rick Perry sees this need as well. His Texas Virtual High School initiative, launched in January 2010, would drastically expand virtual education availability in Texas.
Additionally, allowing Texas public school districts, junior colleges, and universities to offer courses without Texas Education Agency approval would increase availability and foster competition amongst provider entities, ensuring the best and most innovative virtual education system possible.
