02/14/11 - Texas PTA is opposed to doing away with class size caps in grades K-4.

11/09/09 Tyler ISD Uses Facebook to Share District Information
The Tyler Independent School District wants to invite parents and community members to join their new Facebook fan page. As an effort to embrace new technology, the District is using the social networking tool to distribute information about the campuses.
"With more than 220 million users on Facebook, we are going where the people already are," said Angela Jenkins, Tyler ISD Director of Communications and Public Relations. "We know many parents already use this tool and feel it's another way Tyler ISD can communicate with them. What a wonderful opportunity for us to share news, events and information about our school district."
When subscribers become a fan of the Tyler ISD fan page they will automatically receive updates about the school district. Campus events and photos are also shared on the site. Type "Tyler ISD" in the Facebook search menu to find the site and join the group.
Tyler ISD currently uses several methods to communicate with parents including District and campus websites; The Link, Tyler ISD's printed bi-monthly parent newsletter; AlertNow Rapid Communication phone system; and E-Link, an email subscription service.
