Ott's Outlook
September 2018
We are off to a fantastic start in Temple ISD; and I could not be more proud of the staff for their hard work and preparation. The energy is high throughout the district and community--you can feel it!
For the first time in many years, we are experiencing an increase in student enrollment. This is exactly the type of news we have been waiting for in Temple ISD. We are currently serving over 120 more students than we were at the end of last year -- and still climbing by the day. Part of this increase is attributed to a lower number of students transferring out of Temple ISD, increases in the number of students from other districts transferring into Temple ISD, academic programming and overall growth in the city of Temple.
This is an exciting time for our district. I want to personally thank each one of you for your support of TISD and our students.
I am proud to be part of Wildcat Nation!
