According to the Brookings Institute, a decade of studies on non-public school subsidies shows they actually hurt student achievement. Public tax dollars should be used to advance a public good, like improving student achievement. See study π

It's National School Bus Safety Week, and here are the four things we need you to know! ππ
1) Flashing Yellows = Get ready to STOP (Don't speed up)
2) Red Lights + Stop Sign = STOP! (Don't go around)
3) The Danger Zone = All vehicles stay 12 feet away from the bus
4) The MOST DANGEROUS action is when students cross the front of the bus. Pay attention to children crossing. πΈ
School Bus Safety ensures that children return home safely, and we all have a role in that. π€
Parents, families, and educators, we must educate kids on the risks of fake prescription pills. Many may not be aware these pills are laced with fentanyl, a powerful opioid that can be deadly in small amounts.

Governor Abbott announced a 30-day special session beginning October 9 to provide other than public school subsidies. Public schools are underfunded by billions, and any available funding should be prioritized for teacher raises and to help schools pay the bills. We'll continue sharing updates to keep you informed as the session progresses.

We continue to work around the clock after last weekβs boil water notice from the City of Tyler. We are flushing lines, especially those to water fountains.
The district is also replacing water filters on all the water bottle fillers. In the meantime, we are doing our best to deploy bottled water to our campuses for the students who need it.
The City of Tyler has lifted the boil water notice. Tyler ISD is working hard to make sure that all our facilities and campuses are ready to welcome students and staff back on Monday morning. Right now we areΒ draining and cleaning ice machines, changing drinking fountain filters, and flushing other water fixtures where needed.
We will send out more information if there will be any changes to the normal school day.
Due to the City of Tyler's boil water notice, precautions are being put in place by Tyler ISD to ensure that Friday and Saturday's games participants' hydration needs will be met in a sanitary fashion. Additionally, temporary adjustments to restrooms and concession operations and availability are also being implemented.
As a reminder, attendance at extracurricular events is not required and it is up to individuals to make the decision to go to games or other activities. Stay tuned for messages later this weekend once the City of Tyler provides us with more information regarding the water boil notice.
