Editor: I am writing in support of the Floresville Independent School District's (FISD) consideration of a four-day school week. This innovative approach is crucial to addressing the ongoing teacher shortage and improving educational outcomes and attendance for our students. No matter how many days students attend school, the quality of their education depends on the availability and caliber of their teachers. Unfortunately, the percentage of certified, traditionally trained teachers in our schools has dropped significantly. According to the Texas Education Agency's 2024 annual report, state-wide 56 percent of first-time teachers hired during the 2023-24 school year were uncertified, compared to...Article Link

Independence School District Superintendent Dr. Dale Herl gives insight into their success of the four-day school week.

Editor: RE: “Community members speak out against Floresville ISD's proposed four-day week,” Dec. 10, 2024. As a Floresville High School (FISD) alumnus, and someone whose siblings are still in the district, I strongly encourage the FISD Board of Trustees to consider other options to increase student attendance and employee/teacher retention rate. I also encourage fellow community members to submit their thoughts to the board. The trustees' contact information is available online at fisd.us/page/fisd-board-members. This change, if implemented, would thoroughly impact students' school and family lives. My concerns are: •Childcare and food for those in need. Censusreporter.org's 2022 data shows that...Article Link

Floresville Independent School District (ISD) is struggling to recruit and retain high quality teachers. To combat this, the district is considering a four-day school week for the upcoming 2025-26 school year.

With the proposal, the district hopes to both increase teacher morale and attract certified applicants to join the district. “One of the best things for student learning is a highly qualified teacher,” Superintendent Jason...Article Link

Scripture:  John 8:1-11 Saints, Sin is offensive. Jesus is a disruptor of sin. When we put those two together, we're left with a conundrum.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of Jesus and the wonderful gift of eternal life that He made available to us! 

The concept of God has been mistaken and misguided long before contemporary history. God cannot be understood in His wholeness as we are limited in our finite knowledge.

We pray that this discussion of God and His nature will be a blessing to you!

Being a Christian starts with believing that what the Bible says is true. The Bible is unique to any other literature ever created. It is the very Word of God in written form! In the episode, we take a look at the proof that sets the Bible apart!

A Judge puts MLG's forced 5 day school week on hold. NM spends millions on solar projects not knowing how much power it will get. We discussed the challenges UPS and FedEx are having w/ adopting EV's but NM's Environment Department is spending just under $500K to buy UPS “clean vehicles." Rebecca Dow w/ OAK NM had an op-ed in the Albuquerque Journal highlighting why a recent federal report necessitates school choice.   Being a US senator is about more than bringing home pork. If Sen. Heinrich is re-elected he is in line to massively increase his (negative) impact in Washington. NM is currently under TWO public health emergencies.  

On the latest Tipping Point conversation Paul and Wally discuss Gov. MLG caught on tape speaking to top Homeland Security staff. She certainly sounds more concerned about NM's marijuana industry than fentanyl and the border. She's "cranky" with the Secretary and holding the press "at bay".  APS school hosts a drag queen at an Albuquerque high school's prom.  53 New Mexico school districts have sued MLG over her 5 day school week mandate. The latest regulation being pushed by MLG's education department is totally nuts.  NM is ranked 31st among states to retire.  According to CNN, Ford lost $132,000 per EV sold in the first quarter of 2024 despite all the subsidies and mandates. UPS and FedEx run into troubles as they transition from gas to EV vans. The US birth rate is declining, but those declines are not even across states. We look at where birth rates are highest and lowest among US states.
