The Cana Ballroom was abuzz with more than 250 educators, administrators, local and San Antonio officials and guests as the Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual Boerne Independent School District State of the District luncheon Thursday.
After all the BISD teachers of the year were recognized, receiving gift bags supplied by Ford of Boerne, BISD Superintendent Thomas Price took to the stage, focusing most of his 40-minute time with the audience on the school district’s upcoming bond election.
“We’re growing big, this is just a quick snapshot of who we are,” Price said. “We are at over 10,000 students now. At the beginning of the year, we celebrated our 10,000th and now we’re at 10,400. From October of last year to October of this year, we grew by 900 students. Now, some of that is students who were homeschooled because of COIVD and are they’re coming back. We’re bringing in about 500 new students or more a year.”
