Dr. Robert Nolet has been the superintendent of the Sulphur Springs Union School District for the past 16 years. He helps people educate children. The Signal sat down with Nolet to discuss the impact of technology on the district, and how Sulphur Springs is dealing with the valley's booming growth. My family, both my mother and two sisters and an older brother, all were educators, so it's probably genetic. We have maintained a five-year education plan.
Facilities is part of that plan.
We have been looking at multiple ways of dealing with growth. There is just no one simple way. Whether you're dealing with developer fees, developer mitigation agreements, portables for temporary housing. I think probably the wild card that was thrown in to the whole growth issue and the wild card that was thrown into our growth plan, was class-size reduction. In a two month period, we suddenly had a 30 percent increase in the need for facilities.
