PERRYTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

What PERRYTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT does

Perryton Independent School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 821 SW 17th Avenue in Perryton, Texas, serving approximately 1,683 students across six campuses in the Texas Panhandle: Perryton High School (9-12), Perryton Jr. High (6-8), Edwin F. Williams Intermediate (3-5), James L. Wright Elementary (Pre-K-2), Perryton Kinder, and the Ludi Pena Martin Accelerated Education Center. The district employs 344 staff and operates under the Texas Education Agency with a TEA 'B' accountability rating earned in 2024. It is governed by an elected Board of Trustees led by Superintendent Greg Brown.

Programmatic offerings include a Pre-K-5 Dual Language (OWDL) bilingual program, a K-12 Gifted and Talented curriculum aligned to TEKS with STEM experiences, CTE pathways including a Certified Nursing Assistant program at the high school level, dyslexia services per the Texas Dyslexia Handbook, and athletics/UIL extracurriculars. Perryton ISD additionally operates as the lead district for a six-county Special Education Shared Services Arrangement (SSA) coordinating speech, OT/PT, vision therapy, DHH, and assessment services for Spearman, Perryton, Booker, Darrouzett, Lefors, and Follett. A 2024 MOU with Frank Phillips College enables high school students to earn college credit in district.

The district's business model is non-commercial public funding: revenue is generated through a combined $1.02 per $100 valuation property tax (M&O plus I&S), Texas state aid tied to weighted average daily attendance (WADA) at a roughly 2:1 local-to-state golden-penny ratio, and federal Title I/II/III and IDEA grants. Capital expenditure is funded through voter-approved bonds — a $39.9 million authorization was approved in 2023 ($25M sold, $15M held for future issuance), financing Wright Elementary and Perryton High School renovations plus stadium and field house construction. The November 2024 VATRE passage reallocated tax categories to fund teacher raises and equipment. The technology stack comprises standard K-12 SaaS — Ascender SIS, ParentSquare, MySchoolBucks, Clever SSO, DMAC and Star 360 assessment tools, STOPit anonymous reporting, Raptor visitor management, Frontline absence tracking, and Google Workspace — with no proprietary AI/ML capability.
