NORTH EAST INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
MOPAC AND SOMMERS DRIVE
SAN ANTONIO , TEXAS
North East Independent School District came into being in 1949 in the reorganization of the Texas Education System under the Gilmer-Aiken Law.
In the 1948-49 school census, the seven common school
districts that now comprise the North East District had a total of 756 scholastics.
The number included in each district was as follows:
- Blanco Road Common School District #6 with 17 scholastics
- Seay Common School District #7 with 57 scholastics
- Olmos Common School District #9 with 140 scholastics
- Lookout Valley Common School District #10 with 67 scholastics
- Serna Common School District #11 with 274 scholastics
- Salado Valley Common School District #10½ with 93 scholastics
- Coker Common School District #50 with 109 scholastics
The area of these seven districts was 135 square miles located in the northeast
section of Bexar County .
On August 3, 1949 the above mentioned districts were consolidated into the North East Rural High School District . On March 4, 1955 the District voted to cease operating as a County School District and to become an independent district operating directly under the jurisdiction of the State Education Agency.
The North East Independent School District is located in the fastest growing
section of metropolitan San Antonio , as evidenced by the tremendous pupil
population increase. This increase is best seen in a comparison of the January
1948 census of 756 scholastics with the January 1960 population of 14,316 – an
increase of 1894%.
