Slocum ISD

What Slocum ISD does

Slocum Independent School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 5765 E. State Hwy 294, Elkhart, Texas, serving approximately 360 students (320 ADA) across pre-kindergarten through grade 12 on two campuses: Slocum High School and Slocum PK-8. It is a government entity under the Texas Education Agency, funded through state Foundation School Program aid, local property taxes, and federal grants, and governed by an elected Board of Trustees under Superintendent Cliff Lasiter. The district operates 37 staff positions including campus principals, an assistant principal/coach, business manager, and technology director.

The district's program portfolio centers on core PK-12 instruction supplemented by a dual credit college partnership with Trinity Valley Community College (up to 42 hours of transferable credit, with district-funded transportation, fees, and books), a One-to-One Technology Program distributing personal devices to every PK-12 student, an FFA program rooted in the rural agricultural community, and competitive UIL athletics that have produced four state championships since 2009. Operational technology consists of conventional K-12 SaaS integrations including AscenderTX (parent, employee, and teacher gradebook portals), MySchoolBucks cafeteria payments, Follett Destiny library management, Renaissance Accelerated Reader, and TexQuest research databases. In 2025, the district secured full Texas Education Agency approval of its Teacher Incentive Allotment system, enabling designated teachers to earn up to $20,000 above base salary.

As a public government entity, Slocum ISD generates no commercial revenue, charges no tuition, and is not privately or venture-backed; its financial disclosures are filed through Texas Education Agency channels rather than published on the district website. Strategic activity in recent years has been focused on instructional quality and retention (TIA approval, dual credit expansion, technology device distribution, digital service integrations) rather than enrollment growth or geographic expansion.
