Three Title I schools recognized for outstanding academics

Recently the Texas Education Agency announced Title I schools across the state that were recognized for outstanding academic performance. Northside ISD has three schools on that list: Hatchett, Lackland City, and Linton elementary schools. The schools were selected because they have been Title I schools for the past three academic years; 40 percent or more of the students are low income in 2008-09; they met Adequate Yearly Progress in 2007 and 2008; they were rated Exemplary in 2008; and they were rated Exemplary or Recognized in 2007 and 2006. Principals Debra Pinon, Jerry Allen, and Emilio Landeros and staff members from each of the schools were recognized.
