Lackland ISD Board of Trustees Approves Substitute Pay Increase
Lackland ISD recognizes the importance of having qualified substitutes to ensure program sustainability in the absence of teachers and staff.

In the October 26, 2021 Board Meeting, the Lackland ISD Board of Trustees increased substitute pay as follows:
Given the increases, Lackland ISD hopes to recruit additional members to our team to ensure our vision as “The Premier Leader in Educational Excellence.”

Stacey Happenings
Space Architect Talks to Engineering Class
Mr. Kinsey’s Principles of Applied Engineering class was joined virtually by a world renowned space architect, Sam Ximenez. He is the CEO of Exploration Architecture as well as the CEO of Astroport Space Technologies. His companies were recently awarded a NASA contract to develop the technology to robotically manufacture bricks from Lunar regolith and use them to robotically build landing pads for future human lunar landing missions.
He shared with the students the processes needed in the design and manufacture on earth versus the vacuum of space and the harsh environs of the moon and hopefully inspired them to pursue emergent careers.

S2S is Student to Student
by: Jordan Fedder, Senior
This Tuesday and Wednesday both high school S2S and Jr High S2S hosted their first socials of the year to welcome all the new students to Stacey! New sponsors for this year for both clubs are Ms. Parham and Ms. Howard. We’re happy to have you and glad we got the chance to hang out. Our high schoolers enjoyed one another's company almost as much as they enjoyed some pie and ice cream. They were each given a bag of goodies and fun Whataburger items such as sunglasses and snacks, which they also seemed to enjoy greatly.
The Jr High had a wonderful little Halloween-themed gathering on Wednesday where they listened to some spooky music while they ate cake, pumpkin pie, and cookies. They talked amongst themselves and overall seemed to appreciate their time together.
