ILLUSTRATIONS AND PHOTOS
Artist Ragan Gennusa's painting, "Paint Creek" is at the far left of the Paint Creek ISD string, and is posted here with his kind permission.
I took the following photos: all of the Mason (ISD) photos and the central one in the Northside ISD string.
All of the other photos are from either school districts or chamber of commerce or city/area visitor sites. For example, all photos from Big Bend
are from the Big Bend Visitor Photo Gallery. If you'd like to know more, right click on the photo you'd like more information about.
Here is some supplemental material for which there was not room above, or, as with the case of Overton ISD and Runge ISD, as their check
registers are not online, the districts did not qualify for inclusion in the above roster.

| How much? Thus far Mark's tab, according to new supe Alan Umholtz' is "$46,000 at least. We want lawyer's fees, court fees, and the salary Shared Services paid him." But what of Overton? What's changed? While Umholtz has instituted new tighter internal controls such as mileage reports on the use of district vehicles (SOURCE--Charlotte Heldenbrand/The Overton Press) the most recent board meeting agenda posted on the district's website is dated June 4, 2008, the most recent minutes posted online are December 10, 2007, and "Carole Keaton Strayhorn" is listed as Texas Comptroller. (Susan Combs was elected in November 2006.) With their most recently reported total expenditures per student of $15,722, if ever a school district was a prime candidate for putting its checks and credit card receipts online in order to establish a clear demarcation between the old and the new superintendent and school board, it's Overton ISD. |

And, yes, there's also a link to "Six-man football." Here's wishing more schools focused more on academics and less on team sports. Perhaps such focus explains how a small rural 1A district can produce a governor (Rick Perry, above). |
| "Pflugerville was founded in 1860 when William Bohls established a general store and post office in his residence, and named the town in honor of Henry Pfluger. Pfluger first arrived in the area in 1849, leaving his German homeland to escape the Prussian War. He first purchased 160 acres of land two miles east of Austin from John Liese, a brother-in-law who had immigrated before him. In 1853, Henry Pfluger exchanged the land for a larger farm about five miles east of present day Pflugerville. There, the family lived in a five-room log cabin and raised corn, wheat, rye, beans, sweet potatoes, and sugar cane. They also raised cattle, which Henry and his sons drove to market on the Chisholm Trail." (More here) |

| Friends, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the superintendents, administrators and trustees of the school districts below for posting their check registers online. I wish I could have done a snapshot in pictures of all of these districts. The dollars in the pink column below represent "General Fund/Total Revenue" forecasting for 2006-07; this is the amount we usually hear about as a school district's budget for the new year. The actual dollars spent are from also that same 2006-07 period, in the blue columns on the right half of the page. Please scroll down to the bottom of the roster for more information from TEA regarding these numbers. |

At the beginning of 2006-07, Austin ISD supe Pat Forgione forecast that Austin ISD would spend
$ 624,423,013 as its general fund, total revenue amount. Curious how close Pat's forecast was to the amount he actually wrote
checks for during 2006-07? I'm curious, too; after all, under his other name, "Pascal Forgione," he was the Clinton-appointed
