Good afternoon everyone!
Precipitation will continue to fall across the District throughout the night, worsening the condition of bridges, overpasses, and less travelled roadways.
Our number one priority is student, faculty, and staff safety, therefore the District will be closed on Wednesday, February 1st. All extracurricular activities will be postponed to a later date.
We realize the importance of our school being open. It is a safe, warm, loving environment for our students, where they know two meals are waiting on them daily. Hopefully, we can reopen on Thursday.
Thank you again for your patience and flexibility.

Good evening everyone!
One final update before bed tonight. Our team will be driving bus routes early in the morning checking the status of roads throughout the District. According to the current forecast, it looks like a cold, steady rain is in the forecast for tomorrow with conditions worsening over night into Wednesday morning.
Forecasts certainly change, so please make sure you have a plan in place over the next couple of days with the potential for delayed starts, early releases, or cancellation of school. We will always keep your child's safety and the safety of our Faculty and Staff at the front of every decision.
Our next update will be at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.
Thank you,
Cody Mize
Superintendent of Schools

The Texas Academic Performance Report was recently released across the state of Texas and Mineola ISD received an “A Rating”. The District is one of 38 Districts in the Region 7 Service Center to receive an “A”.
Did you know that our District scored above the Regional and State Averages on 19 of the 20 STAAR and EOC tests administered by the state?
The FIRST Rating also recently came out, which measures financial accountability among school districts in the state and we received an “A Rating” on this report as well.
We are so proud of our faculty, staff, students, parents, and community for this tremendous honor!
If you are looking for options, these are just a couple of reasons why Mineola ISD is a great place to educate kids and a great place to be employed.
