This is NOT a comprehensive list, it is quite useless and caused some research problems for me. Instead, try one of the Texas Education Agency's (TEA) websites, http://askted.tea.state.tx.us/ or http://deleon.tea.state.tx.us/SDL/ .
[edit] Complete List
I've got a complete list of all of the districts in Excel format. I'll clean it up and post it on here, so we can have a REAL list, as opposed to what we have now, which is at best incomplete, and at worst, fallacious. Just one more thing on my Wikitodolist for articles that no one else will probably ever go to look at. Letoofdune 02:58, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] See Also link?
It seems that many Texas school district pages in wikipedia have a section like:
==See also== *[[List of school districts in Texas]]
Is it necessary (or "good practice") to have this "See Also" link? I think it's bothering me because it's the only link in most of these See Also sections, it seems superfluous because of Category:School_districts_in_Texas, and the idea of a "See Also" section in a wiki seems a little unnecessary itself. --Hebisddave 16:38, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Defunct districts
When researching for Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District's history section, I found out about several smaller districts that eventually consolidated into HEBISD. Obviously the separate districts for Hurst, Euless, and Bedford; there was a Hurst-Euless district for 2-3 years; and I think there were also some other very small districts that didn't last into the 20th century. I'd like some feedback on which districts should be listed on the defunct list. If there's probably not going to be an article about them, is it worth listing them? Should they be listed with links, and then their article pages re-directed to HEBISD? Any opinions or guidelines would be appreciated. --Hebisddave 15:46, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- I say list them all with citations. Don't bother redlinking them unless there is likely to be an article created for them. POSSIBLY section-bluelink them to the city, county, or existing school district IF the article linked to has a section that mentioned the defunct district. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 00:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
