From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of
school districts in
Texas , sorted by Education Service Center (ESC) Region and then by County.
Geographical school districts in Texas are (with one exception, the
Stafford Municipal School District ) completely independent from city or county jurisdiction.
Texas school district boundaries are not always aligned with county or city boundaries; a district can occupy several counties and cities, while a single city (especially larger ones such as Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio) may be split between several districts.
Almost all Texas school districts use the title "Independent School District", or ISD. Except for Stafford, those few districts that do not have "ISD" in their names are nonetheless ISDs.
This list does not include:
It does include Independent School Districts run by
orphanages or homes for troubled children. However, there are only three known examples, the
Masonic Home Independent School District (which closed in 2005 and is listed with the other defunct school districts below the main list), the
Boles Independent School District (which later expanded to serve homes in the nearby area; the organization now also serves troubled children who are not orphaned), and the
Boys Ranch Independent School District (which only serves troubled children who are residents; despite its name it serves both boys and girls).
All districts come under the jurisdiction of the
Texas Education Agency (TEA). Extracurricular activities involving competitions between schools typically come under the jurisdiction of the
University Interscholastic League (UIL), which is not part of TEA.
