DICKERSON
William Dickerson, a valued member of the custodial staff of the LISD ESC campus, celebrated his birthday on Thursday, Feb. 4!
Happy birthday, Mr. Dickerson!
We’re throwing it back to this past December when Mr. Dickerson accepted a gift on behalf of the custodial staff of the LISD administration prior to Christmas break.
We are so appreciative of the tireless work Mr. William, Ms. Edith, and Mr. Louis (and all our janitorial workers!) do to help keep our district facilities clean and safe.
Happy birthday Mr. William, and many blessed returns of the day!

as having tutors from Eastman visit each week.
COVID-19 has also changed how some community and parent interaction events can work. While some things such as Meet the Teacher Night were not possible in person, Ned’s staff created Google Classrooms with Bitmojis for teachers to interact and share classroom and campus information with parents.
For Christmas, students performed on Zoom, Ned streamed the live performance to community partners and classes on Google Classroom. The performance was also uploaded to the Ned E. Williams, and LISD Facebook pages. The Magnet Fair was an interactive night for students and their families, as each rotation was designed to highlight each component of STEAM with hands-on activities. The second graders even reached out with a video to Longview Mayor Andy Mack who responded with a video in kind to explain his day-to-day operations and answer student-developed questions.
To keep up to date on the campus, be sure to follow them on Facebook at Ned E. Williams Magnet STEAM Academy.

liams went on to not only have a successful career for the Sooners but also at the pro level.
He took over as a freshman after Branndon Braxton broke his leg midway through the season. Williams started six games at right tackle and the next year in 2008, he started all 14 games earning first-team All-Big 12 honors at right tackle. He was part of a dominant Sooners offensive line that only allowed 11 sacks during the year.
His senior year, Williams switched to left tackle which proved beneficial. He became a consensus first-team All-American and anchored an offensive line amidst injuries.
Williams wowed the Washington Football Team (then Redskins) at the NFL Scouting Combine with his 40-yard dash time of 4.81 seconds. That is quite the get up for a big ole 300-pound offensive lineman. Washington selected Williams in the first round with the fourth overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He then proceeded to wow on the field, evidenced by his record-setting market value.
Williams was given the highest contract ever for an offensive lineman by Washington in 2015 (five-year, $66 million) to reward his excellence on the gridiron in both pass and run blocking. In addition to seven consecutive Pro Bowls, he made the NFL Network’s Top 100 Players List seven years in a row to match. Mary Louise Jones Tennel was born July 16, 1932 to parents of James Tennel and Malnetia Aldridge in Jacksonville. She united in marriage to the late Robert
JONES (Bob) Jones in November 1955.
At an early age, she became a member of Pleasant Green Baptist Church. From there she united with Parkview Baptist Church where she remained a faithful member until she transitioned.
Education: Ned E. Williams School and C. B. Dansby High School. She attended Hurd Beauty School in Marshall, TX and received her cosmetology license.
Mary Louise made a career of being a crafted beautician for over 50 years. She cherished love for family. Her faith seed cause her to do whatever she could to build up the kingdom of God. She was constantly seeking people in the community to come be a part of the ministry at Parkview. She was a faithful Southside Reunion committee member. She ran a snow cone stand for years. She was on the Board of Habitat for Humanities.
She was the Mother of Parkview Male Chorus and Parkview Baptist Church.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, siblings French L. Taylor, Alfred J. Taylor, Robert W. Taylor and Brenda Brown.
Loving memories will be cherished by: children, Robert Jones, Peggy (Herman) Jordan who is an ISS teacher at LHS, Laretta (Jerry) Freeny who is an Office Clerk at Forest Park, Sherian Alexander; granddaughter/daughters, Latosha (Michael) Dotson,LaDonna Jones; granddaughters, Amber Jones, LaVisha Freeny; special loves, Michaela Dotson and Bryce Dotson; adopted children, Kyron Ranson and Charlotte J.

CHARTER PARTNERS
Texas Council for International Studies
By Linda Buie Executive Director
Beginning with the 2020-2021 school year, all Longview ISD schools are being operated by three non-profit charter partners: Texas Council for International Studies (TCIS), East Texas Advanced Academies (ETAA), and Longview Education and Prospers (LEAP).
The Texas Council for International Studies (TCIS) charter partner operates the following schools: Hudson PEP Elementary School, Ned E. Williams Steam Academy, South Ward Elementary School, Foster Middle School, Judson Steam Academy, and Longview High School. Longview High School is a fully authorized International Baccalaureate® (IB) World School and has been for the past twelve years. Earning the prestigious IB World School authorization requires the school to complete a three-year process to demonstrate meeting the IB rigorous standards and practices. Longview High School is authorized for the IB Diploma Programme for juniors and seniors. Additionally, the high school is currently in the authorization process to offer the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) at the ninth and tenth grades. All five other schools in the TCIS charter are also in the authorization process to become authorized IB World Schools. The three elementary schools will offer the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), and the middle schools will offer the Middle Years Programme (MYP). Additionally, TCIS also operates eight schools in San Antonio ISD.
Texas Council of International Studies was created as a nonprofit organization to focus on the successful implementation all four IB programmes: DP, MYP, PYP, and CP in the schools that it is partnering with. TCIS was founded by experienced IB educators and community leaders who have the goal of enhanced student success through IB.
TCIS facilitates the implementation of IB programmes through partnership agreements with IB schools and districts. TCIS then provides IB program development, IB professional training, curriculum planning, marketing campaigns and scholarship programs.
TCIS and partner schools commit to the following: Ensure a continuity and commitment to the standards of performance espoused by the International Baccalaureate®; Facilitate program development, professional development, curriculum planning and scholarship programs at IB World Schools; Provide authorized IB professional development; Operate and manage schools by providing campus autonomy with expert school leadership support.
Texas Council of International Studies has a governing board of members who have a history of IB experience: Karen Phillips, President; Walter Sorensen, Vice President of Operations; Dr. Bill Thomas, Treasurer; Ted Williams, Member at Large; Margaret Davis,
Chief Executive Officer.

We are confident in our Culture Conscious Campus (CCC) model, which is a comprehensive model that encompasses four aspects of school culture, and we promise to deliver exceptional outcomes for students. It is our desire that our scholars are able to be beacons of light in our society therefore, our message for all of our families and, especially our students, is that we are committed as a Network to ensuring that our students receive the very best educational experience possible whether on-campus or at home.
We are a family of learners and our efforts will not be in vain; as ALL OF OUR CHILDREN are worth taking the time, energy and effort to educate, engage and extend, even during the most challenging times. F or the first two weeks, from August 17 to August 31 , students will review policies, procedures, and expectations, get to know their new teachers, read, adjust to “school hours”, complete universal screeners, adjust to synchronous and asynchronous learning formats through the use of Google Classroom. Google Classroom will be the learning platform that all ETAA students will use. It allows them to interact during classes, actively engage in assignments, take quizzes, collaborate with peers, communicate with teachers, and more. The remote return to school will also allow campuses to rehearse and finalize all safety and sanitation protocols to significantly reduce the risk of viral spread on campus.
ETAA is an LISD Partner of choice, and that extends to our learning models. Please take time to carefully consider your options and what is best for your family. Our schools will offer both face-to-face and remote learning beginning on August 17 .
Longview Educates and Prospers
LEAP manages the Longview Early Graduation High School, Longview High School’s Career and Technical Education (CATE) program, and East Texas Advanced Manufacturing Academy.
Board members for LEAP include Mr. Wayne Mansfield, Mr. Shawn Hara, and Mr. Keith Bonds, with a leadership team that includes district Longview High CATE Director Mr. Gary Kreuger, Academy Director Mr. Jody Sanders, and Early Grad H.S. Principal Mrs. Kristi Means.
The partnership of LEAP, TCIS and ETAA are governed by a 2017 state law called Senate Bill 1882 that provides extra funding to traditional public school districts that contract with outside entities such as charter networks, non-profits, and universities to run their schools as an in-district charter.
In accordance with TEA policy, by having LISD be the authorizer of charter campuses, the district maintains the authority to set the ground rules the partners have to follow.
