Robert E. Lee to Host Meeting on TISD Long Range Plan

TYLER – The second of two meetings this week is set for tonight as the Tyler Independent School District continues efforts to seek public feedback on the district’s long range plan. Tyler ISD Superintendent Dr. Randy Reid will present the proposed plan at a community meeting at 6:30 at Robert E. Lee High School’s Fine Arts Center. That follows a Tuesday gathering at John Tyler High School. “Presenting the proposed long range plan to the public is the next step in a year-long process to work with our community to update our facilities and prepare Tyler ISD for an expected 2,500 additional students by the year 2020,” Reid stated. “Our school board has worked diligently to put this plan together, and we feel it will help us accomplish our goals to support academic progress and create financial efficiencies.”

Over the past year, the Tyler ISD Board of Trustees and Tyler ISD administrators researched best practices from around the state and worked with the Tyler community to develop a plan to improve district facilities and prepare the district for the future. “The Board of Trustees greatly appreciates the community feedback we have received throughout this long range planning process,” Michelle Carr, Board President, said prior to the John Tyler session. “We hope community members will continue to show their support for our schools by attending these meetings and sharing their thoughts with us.” Dr. Reid will present the feedback received at the community meetings to the Tyler ISD Board of Trustees at their regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday.
