History: As the school district declares, “The story of our past began in 1908 when a single teacher stood at the open door of a one-room, white framed structure to – for the first time - welcome twenty children of all ages from this young community. The small school stood one block south of the Presbyterian Church on the corner of 12th and Austin Streets.”
The first class of McAllen graduated in 1913. In 1915, the 34th Texas Legislature established the McAllen Independent School District.
Employer Environment: If you check out the employee's handbook of McAllen ISD (and it is one of those few school districts with a clear and well organized employee handbook accessible from its website) you would find that among the 11 critical success factors identified the management, “highly qualified staff” ranks second and “staff development” ranks 11th. In contradiction to many other independent school districts' take on employees, at McAllen ISD, the list of critical success factors virtually begin and end with “staff.” That's how much importance is given to employees at McAllen ISD.
