Dear Hearne ISD Families,

I am writing to share information regarding a leadership transition within our team. Hearne ISD’s decision to propose termination of the employee’s contract was not taken lightly, and we recognize that changes in leadership can naturally raise questions and concerns for our families.

We are grateful to Mrs. Marsha Shico for her hard work, dedication, and commitment to our students, staff, and HES community.

Most importantly, please know that our students remain our top priority. We are committed to ensuring that this transition has as little disruption as possible to the learning, support, and services our students receive each day. Our staff and leadership team are working together to maintain consistency, stability, and a positive learning environment for every student.

To support a smooth transition:

Point of Contact: Effective immediately, please direct any questions, concerns, or needs to the HES secretary. She will ensure your message is promptly routed to the appropriate staff member.

Continued Student Support: Our teachers and staff will continue providing the instruction, care, and support our students need.

Leadership Recruitment: Our leadership team is actively working to identify and recruit a qualified professional to fill the role. We will communicate additional information as appropriate.

We understand that transitions can bring uncertainty, but we want to reassure you that HES remains focused on what matters most: our students, their learning, and their well-being. We are grateful for the partnership and trust of our families as we work through this transition together.

Thank you for your continued support, patience, and understanding. We are confident in the dedication of our HES staff and their commitment to providing our students with a safe, supportive, and successful school experience.

Warm regards,

Travis Weatherspoon, Interim Superintendent
Hearne ISD

🚌 New Bus Barn Facility

Hearne ISD is excited to announce that construction is about to begin on the new Bus Barn, an important project approved by voters through the Hearne ISD Bond.

Location: Woodfield

As part of this project, the existing practice field at the Woodfield location will be repurposed to accommodate construction of the new Bus Barn facility.

We understand that construction projects can bring changes to our campuses and community spaces, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as this important work gets underway. The new Bus Barn will provide Hearne ISD with an improved facility to support the district’s transportation operations and better serve our students and staff.

Thank you to our community for supporting the Hearne ISD Bond and investing in the future of our district! Together, we are building for tomorrow.

🚌 Nueva instalación de depósito de autobuses

Hearne ISD se complace en anunciar que está por comenzar la construcción del nuevo depósito de autobuses, un proyecto importante aprobado por los votantes a través de la emisión de bonos de Hearne ISD.

Ubicación: Woodfield

Como parte de este proyecto, el campo de prácticas existente en la sede de Woodfield se adaptará para dar cabida a la construcción de la nueva instalación del depósito de autobuses.

Entendemos que los proyectos de construcción pueden conllevar cambios en nuestros planteles y espacios comunitarios, y agradecemos la paciencia y comprensión de todos mientras se llevan a cabo estas importantes obras. El nuevo depósito de autobuses proporcionará a Hearne ISD una instalación mejorada para apoyar las operaciones de transporte del distrito y brindar un mejor servicio a nuestros estudiantes y al personal.

Hearne ISD has ended the shelter-in-place that was initiated earlier today following the incident at the GATX site.

All students and staff remained safe throughout the situation, and there was no direct threat to any district campus. Normal school activities will continue for the remainder of the day.

We sincerely thank our local law enforcement agencies, first responders, and emergency personnel for their quick response, communication, and continued commitment to keeping our community safe. We also appreciate the patience and cooperation of our students, staff, families, and community while the situation was assessed.

Thank you.
