What Silsbee ISD does

Silsbee Independent School District is a public K-12 school district serving approximately 2,500 students across four campuses in Silsbee, Texas, located in Hardin County in Southeast Texas approximately 100 miles east of Houston and 15 miles north of Beaumont. The district operates Laura Reeves Primary (Pre-K and Kindergarten), Silsbee Elementary (grades 1-5), Edwards-Johnson Memorial Silsbee Middle School (grades 6-8), and Silsbee High School (grades 9-12) within a 265 square mile service area, supported by 415 full-time employees. As a political subdivision of the State of Texas, the district is governed by an elected seven-member Board of Trustees and led by Superintendent Dr. Gregg Weiss (appointed April 2019).

The district's core offering is standard public education enhanced by 14 Career and Technical Education pathways, special education services, fine arts, UIL 4A athletics, and alternative education programs (P.A.C.E.S. and iCAN Academy). Technology infrastructure includes a district-wide 1:1 student device program, Skyward Family Access for parent communication and enrollment, Eduphoria for instructional management, Centegix CrisisAlert for campus safety, Finalsite for the district website, and Rank One Sport for athletics scheduling. All students receive free meals under the Community Eligibility Provision during the 2025-2026 school year, and the district maintains FERPA compliance for student data protection.

Revenue is generated primarily through local property taxes (General Operating $0.7705 plus Debt Service $0.3114, totaling $1.0819 per $100 valuation), Texas Education Agency Foundation School Program funding on a per-pupil basis, and federal grants including Title I, Title II, Title IV, and Perkins V. Supplementary income is generated through facility rental fees and tuition-based Pre-K programming. The district holds District of Innovation status through January 2030, granting operational flexibilities comparable to Texas open-enrollment charter schools across domains such as school start dates, teacher certification, and class size reporting.
