What Kermit Independent School District does

Kermit Independent School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 601 S. Poplar Street in Kermit, Texas, serving students residing within Kermit and surrounding areas of Winkler County. Founded in 1928 and governed by a locally elected Board of Trustees under the Texas Education Agency, the district operates five schools: Kermit Elementary School, Kermit Junior High School, Kermit High School, Kermit Early College High School, and a district Athletics department, providing instruction from Pre-K through grade 12. Core academic programs are supplemented by dual credit courses through Odessa College, career and technical education (welding, nursing, culinary arts), special education, Gifted and Talented programming, and an extensive extracurricular portfolio including UIL-aligned athletics (football, volleyball, baseball, softball, track, tennis, golf, powerlifting), the K-Band program, Ballet Folklórico, FFA, and Sports Medicine.

The district is funded primarily through Texas state education funding formulas and local property tax revenue, with services delivered at no direct cost to students. In 2023, voters approved two of three bond propositions totaling $62.5 million, supporting general facility construction (Proposition A, $47.5M) and stadium renovations at Walton Field (Proposition B, $15M); the old Kermit High School building was demolished in January 2024 to accommodate a new CTE wing. The district's technology infrastructure consists of commodity K-12 communication and operations platforms: Apptegy-powered website and mobile apps (iOS and Android), ThrillShare for live feeds and announcements, GoFan for athletic ticketing, School Messenger for emergency notifications, MySchoolMenus for cafeteria menus, and RANKONE for athletic registration. There is no evidence of proprietary technology development, AI/ML capabilities, or commercial product lines.

District leadership is led by Superintendent Dr. Joe Lopez, with program oversight from Athletic Director Coach Andy Hrncir, Junior High Principal Mrs. Fellows, Special Education Director Roxane Greer, and FFA sponsors Mrs. Stepheny Bennett and Mrs. Tania Ocampo. Community engagement is conducted through the district website, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), mobile apps, parent resource flyers, and in-person events. As a political subdivision of the State of Texas, Kermit ISD has no private ownership, shareholders, or external equity holders, and its operating scope is restricted to its geographic catchment area.
