Evadale Independent School District

What Evadale Independent School District does

Evadale Independent School District (Evadale ISD) is a state-created political subdivision of Texas operating a public K-12 education system within a geographically defined attendance zone in Jasper County, Texas. The district serves all school-age children residing within its boundaries, delivering primary, secondary, and extracurricular programming through Evadale Elementary and Evadale High School. Operational scope includes curriculum delivery, student transportation, food service, facilities maintenance, and student welfare/athletic programming.

The district runs on a commodity educational technology stack: Google Workspace for Education for productivity and collaboration, Ascender TxEIS for the student information system, DMAC for assessment and data management, and SchoolBlocks/SchoolFeed for the public-facing website and parent communications. These are vendor-managed platforms rather than internally developed systems; the district's role is configuration, licensing, and instructional use rather than software engineering.

Revenue mechanics are those of a Texas public school district: a Maintenance & Operations property tax levy plus Interest & Sinking property tax levy, supplemented by state Foundation School Program aid (Tier I and Tier II entitlements) routed through the Texas Education Agency. Capital expenditures are funded separately through voter-approved general obligation bond issuances; the most recent is a $24 million bond passed May 4, 2024, supporting facility improvements including a new Administration Building, renovations, and safety upgrades. The district also contracts Chapter 313/403 value-limitation agreements with industrial taxpayers (e.g., Targa Intrastate Pipeline LLC) as a tax-base management tool.
