What Nacogdoches Independent School District does

Nacogdoches Independent School District (NISD) is a public K-12 school district serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in Nacogdoches County, Texas. The district operates ten campuses organized as one early childhood center (Fredonia Early Childhood Center), five elementary schools (Brooks-Quinn-Jones, Emeline Carpenter, Mike Moses, Raguet, Thomas J. Rusk), one middle school (McMichael Middle School), one comprehensive high school (Nacogdoches High School), one career and technical education center (Malcolm Rector Center for Advanced Careers & Innovation), and one alternative education campus (Margie Chumbley Academy for Success). The district is a political subdivision of the State of Texas governed by a seven-member elected Board of Trustees and led by Superintendent Grey Burton, with a full executive team including a CFO, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, two Assistant Superintendents, and a Chief of Police.

NISD delivers educational services through standard K-12 instruction augmented by specialized programs: a Bilingual and ESL Education Program serving nearly 2,000 English language learners (including a Dual Language track), Career and Technical Education offering industry certifications, Advanced Academics through AP courses and Dual Credit via the Stephen F. Austin State University STEM Academy, comprehensive fine arts (band, choir, theatre, dance, visual arts, elementary music), athletics, and student support services including special education, counseling, dyslexia intervention, and migrant education. The technology stack comprises eSchoolPlus (student information system), PowerSchool (enrollment), ClassLink (single sign-on), DMAC (assessment data), OnDataSuite (analytics), Eduphoria (professional development), IncidentIQ (help desk), TIPWeb (inventory), and Google Workspace. Safety investments include a weapons detection screening system at Dragon Stadium and the SMART Tag student transportation tracking system.

NISD is funded primarily through local property taxes from Nacogdoches County taxpayers, state allocations under the Texas Foundation School Program (based on average daily attendance and property wealth per student), and federal grants including Title I-V, Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education funding, and a $24,709,069 ESSER III award. In March 2023, NISD received a District of Innovation designation providing a five-year exemption from certain Texas Education Code provisions. The district is currently rated an overall D grade in state academic accountability, with McMichael Middle School on a Targeted Improvement Plan and three elementary schools under an Elementary Turnaround Plan.
