What Port Neches-Groves Isd does

Port Neches-Groves Independent School District (PNGISD) is a Texas public school district headquartered at 776 Magnolia in Port Neches, serving the combined communities of Port Neches and Groves in Jefferson County. The district operates eight campuses organized as two primary schools (PreK-2), two intermediate schools (grades 3-5), two middle schools (grades 6-8), one high school (grades 9-12), and one alternative education center, employing between 501 and 1,000 staff. Educational services span core K-12 academics plus differentiated programs including Career and Technical Education (welding, health science, IT, automotive, HVAC, cosmetology, criminal justice), Gifted and Talented services, Special Education, Title I schoolwide programs at four campuses, and athletics. The underlying technology platform is a vendor-orchestrated SaaS stack: Skyward for the student information system, ClassLink for single sign-on, SchoolCafe for meal account management, SchoolDude for maintenance ticketing, Anonymous Alerts for safety reporting, and Finalsite for the district website. Revenue is generated almost entirely through non-commercial public funding mechanisms: local property taxes from the Jefferson County petrochemical tax base, Texas Education Agency state aid, federal Title I grants, and minor student meal fees; there is no priced commercial product or fee-for-service offering. Governance is by an elected seven-member Board of Trustees with Dr. Mike Gonzales serving as Superintendent, and the district operates under a Texas Education Agency accountability framework while holding District of Innovation status (renewed 2022-2027) for local flexibility.
