An eagerly awaited meeting with Snyder ISD leadership and the TEA Commissioner came to fruition in Austin today. Eddie Bland, Ed.D., Superintendent of Snyder ISD, Ralph Ramon SISD Board of Trustees President, and Brad Hinton, SISD Board of Trustees Vice President, met with Commissioner Mike Morath to discuss sanctions against the district for Snyder Junior High’s academic rating. Texas Education Code §39A. 112(b) allows for parent petitions to direct the Commissioner’s decision. On October 31, 2019, Dr. Bland was presented with 313 petitions, a sufficient number to require the closure of the campus. In addition to the parent petitions for closure, Dr. Bland was presented with 486 parent and community petitions supporting the reopening of Snyder Junior High with a grade realignment. The petitions will be delivered to the Commissioner no later than December 1, 2019. The next step will require SISD to develop and submit a comprehensive plan to reopen the campus, with the majority of the grades realigned. “These next steps will require planning and partnership," states Dr. Bland. "We look forward to collaborating with parents, teachers, district leadership, community members, and the TEA to do what is best for our students."

On October 30, 2019, four Snyder High School seniors put the finishing touches on their yearlong work with the STREAM, Snyder ISD's mobile learning unit with a 1st place and $2000 scholarship. Meera Bhakta, Jesi Hunter, Ruth Cabrera, and Bonnie Jasper have worked on this project through all its phases, from conception to planning, to design, to implementation. Part of their work was through the Texas Midwest Community Network (TMCN) Youth Leadership Program. This scholarship competition is open to all youth in rural West and Central Texas cities with the mission of empowering students to create meaningful change in their communities. These four seniors presented their work to the judging committee in September with the revealing of the winners at the October 30th TMCN convention. With approximately 200 people in attendance, the girls were awarded the first place prize and $2000 scholarship. District STEM Coordinator Ryan Maney said, "These girls have embodied what we at Snyder ISD want STEM learning to be - students bring given opportunities to showcase their learning in a way that can positively impact their community. These students represent their school, their community, and women in STEM with the utmost pride."
