Reconsideration sought for ECISD principal reassignments
A Tuesday appeal to the Ector County Independent School District Board urged reversing the moves of Permian and Odessa high school principals James Ramage and Gregory Nelson. Speaker Gerald Tomlinson, representing ECISD parents, cited test scores, mobility during the oil boom, and class sizes as harms. Superintendent Tom Crowe refused to reverse, noting prior performance data. Ramage and Nelson will finish the year at their campuses with salaries intact. The board also approved TASB Superintendent of the Year nomination for Crowe, a 2017-18 calendar, and various contracts and policies.
