Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Pablo Torres and the Hico ISD school community.  The 2nd grader passed away in a drowning incident last weekend.

I would love to see our small school educators recognized through HEB's Awards Program.  I know they're out there, please consider nominating worthy staff members from your district!  Bill

With over $6,000 raised for future scholarships, this year's silent auction was the best ever!  Thanks to all the TREA staff and volunteers who worked to organize and manage the auction, as well as the donors and buyers who participated.  A special thanks to all student-made entries that were donated.  Keep 'em coming in 2025!

Thanks to Brian Stroman, superintendent at Bloomburg ISD and TREA Foundation Board Member, he will assist TREA Superintendents with that process free of charge.  Bloomburg was a pilot district and were very successful in that DVA.  He is conducting these consults with the appreciation of the TEA, in that the districts Brian has worked with are extremely more prepared to conduct the DVA than those that haven't.  

It's my understanding that all districts will have to go through this, and will be on a 4-year cycle.

State Representative Jim Pitts was a true statesman and fought for all Texans for many years.  He authored and worked with TREA on HB 1064 in 2011, which passed and subsequently saved school districts millions of dollars, collectively.  Respectfully, Bill.
