GROVETON — The Groveton Independent School District will probably remain a 2A school after the upcoming UIL realignment based on its current enrollment figures.
Superintendent Jim Dillard delivers a monthly report to the Board of Trustees, as he did on Nov. 27, on enrollment, and currently the district is sitting at 769 total students, with an average daily attendance around 96 percent.
However, for the UIL Snapshot, used by the organization when it realigns districts every two years, it largely is concerned with the students in grades 9-12, which is 228 students.
Dillard said the district has been a D1 2A for years; since last year’s cutoff to move up was 249, he doesn’t expect that will change, even though this year’s cutoff hasn’t been announced.
The board also recognized the girls cross country team for their trip to state, the second year in a row for that honor, Dillard said.
“They have been very successful the past few years,” he said. “We’re extremely proud of them. Every time they compete at that level it’s good for the school and the community. We appreciate the way these young people represent the city.”
In other business, the board:
•held a hearing on updates on policy; and
•discussed the annual evaluation of the superintendent.
