Dealing With Growth
Forney I.S.D., according to a 2005 article in The Dallas Morning News, is the fourth fastest growing school district in the state of Texas. A new Middle School was opened in the 2006-2007 school year and remodeling of the old Middle School are underway.
After a bond issue for a second high school repeatedly failed in previous years, funds for a new high school were approved in May 2007. The current high school, originally intended to serve as a middle school, has a population that outgrows the building despite recent wing additions.

Famous quotes containing the words dealing with, dealing and/or growth:
“A second-class mind dealing with third-class material is hardly a necessity of life.”
—Harold Laski (1893–1950)
“In my dealing with my child, my Latin and Greek, my accomplishments and my money stead me nothing; but as much soul as I have avails. If I am wilful, he sets his will against mine, one for one, and leaves me, if I please, the degradation of beating him by my superiority of strength. But if I renounce my will, and act for the soul, setting that up as umpire between us two, out of his young eyes looks the same soul; he reveres and loves with me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There are enough fagots and waste wood of all kinds in the forests of most of our towns to support many fires, but which at present warm none, and, some think, hinder the growth of the young wood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
