The first decade of the 21st century has ended and this is a time to reflect on what has taken place in the district during the last ten years. A time to plan for the future and to recognize the district’s Trustees, administration, faculty, staff and students for their efforts in making Slocum ISD an exemplary district.
During this time of success the district has been governed by seven community members committed to providing the students of this district with an excellent education that will serve them throughout their lives. Current trustees are: Malon Reed (President), David Franklin (Vice-President), Regina Hogan (Secretary), John Day, Roger Jones, Steve Mock, and Steve Webb. Others who served on the Board during this time were: Donnie Larkin, Ronnie O’Dell, Mike Dear, Charles Dinwiddie, Curtis Ferguson, Jimmy Meredith and Jim Lawrence.
The district administration and staff consisted of Superintendent Fred Fulton and Business Manager Kim O’Dell. Serving as directors were Joel Parker (technology), Richard Martin (maintenance) and Glenda Baskin (food service) Also during this time Danny Herod (maintenance), Kay Reed (food service) and Jenny Cunningham (curriculum) served as directors prior to their retirement.
School administrators during this time were: Principal Thomas Naismith (2000-2002), Principal Ronnie Shepherd (2002-2005), current Principal Cliff Lasiter and Errin Dear who served as assistant principal beginning in 2005 and was appointed elementary principal in 2009.
The excellent faculty of 37 teachers, a librarian and counselor supported by a staff of 19 employees provided the approximately 380 students with the services and an environment essential for their education. They are a cohesive group who worked exceptionally well together. The teacher turnover rate for the district was low, with approximately 75% of the faculty being employed by the district for more than 5 years.
