Under Burn Ban Itasca is included in the burn ban that has been issued for Hill County. There are a few exceptions for farmers and ranchers, but they should check with the Hillsboro Fire Marshall or the Itasca Volunteer Fire Chief before starting any fires.
Every score means something to their respective school.
Yearly schools are rated based on their dropout rates, attendance rate, and the TAAS scores of the previous year. This year Itasca ISD has earned the highest rank of Exemplary district, meaning that every campus of Itasca ISD received an Exemplary rating in these areas. Itasca's superintendent, Dr. Ray Freeman, believes that the dedication to high achievement on the part of students, parents, and staff is the reason that Itasca is able to rank so well. Last year all campuses received an exemplary rating, but as a district we were only Recognized. The August City Council meeting brought out many important issues from the audience concerning a wide variety of items.
