HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH

FROM JASELLE: I love a good fresh start that the new year brings. New beginnings, goals, and people to meet. Our Annual Community Guide provides an overview of our core focus areas: education, health care, development and transportation. Speaking of which, I’m ready for a fresh start for Northwest Military Highway as soon as it is completed this year. In our cover story, reporter Edmond Ortiz provides the latest construction updates that we can plan for in 2023. Jaselle Luna, PUBLISHER

FROM TRICIA: The end of the year and the beginning of a new one often comes with self-reection along with goal-setting and resolutions. Maybe 2023 is the year to consider a new hobby or craft. For Sheila Macdonald, her side hustle of creating beautiful hand-dyed yarns has grown into her full-time business —the Knitter’s Nook where you too can buy the supplies for a new craft.

HILL COUNTRY VILLAGE

HOLLYWOOD PARK Property owners in this fast-growing neighborhood north of San Antonio gathered in a resident’s garage to vote to incorporate Hollywood Park in the 1950s. The city is known for its deer herd population, large residential lots and abundance of trees.

SHAVANO PARK Known as Shavano in the late 19th century, the town started expanding thanks to a local general store and a post oce overseen by local farmer Augustine DeZavala as well as the area’s designation as a stagecoach and a rail stop.

Having originated as the Village Estates subdivision in the 1940s, this 2.2-square-mile town is now one of the most auent suburbs based on income per capita.

collected more than $26 billion in tax revenues since propositions 1 and 7 launched in 2014 and 2017, respec- tively. Propositions 1 and 7 are set to expire in 2034 and 2032, TxDOT said. “The reality is we’d be in a really dark place without propositions 1 and 7,” Canales said. PROPOSITION 7 Approved by voters in 2015, Proposition 7 allo- cates portions of state sales taxes, motor vehicle sales, rental taxes to build and maintain nontolled roads. Total deposit to date: $13.2 billion SOURCE: TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATIONCOMMUNITY IMPACT FUNDING ROAD PROJECTS Propositions 1 and 7 continue to be major generators of funding for state-supported road projects. PROPOSITION 1 Approved by voters in 2014, Proposition 1 allocates a portion of oil and natural gas production taxes to build and maintain nontolled roads. Total deposit to date: $13.3 billion

The chair of the Texas House of Representatives Transportation Committee told the San Antonio Mobility Coalition on Dec. 8 that increasing transportation funding should be a top priority in the 2023 legislative session. State Rep. Terry Canales, DEdinburg, addressed a SAMCO breakfast held at Embassy Suites-Landmark. Canales gave coalition members and business leaders a preview of transportation-related issues that state lawmakers will be tackling in the 88th Legislature, which convened Jan. 10. Canales said Texas has an overall robust transporta- tion system, but more money is needed to maintain, improve and expand that system to support a statewide population, which demographers project going from an estimated 29.8 million in 2022 to 40 million in 2040. “Transportation is nonpartisan. We have to nd solutions,” Canales said. Canales urged the Legislature to extend propositions 1 and 7, two voter-approved mechanisms that redirect some revenues from specic nonproperty taxes toward public road projects, such as the current expansion eorts on Loop 1604 and US 281 North in Bexar County. The Texas Department of Transportation said it has

North San Antonio schools address sta shortages NORTH EAST & NORTHSIDE ISDs Various approaches are being used in North East and Northside ISDs—from more aggressive recruit- ment to shifting schedules and consolidating bus routes—to counter lingering employee shortages. people who previously considered an educational career and individuals going through alternative certication programs, which allow them to teach while completing their requirements. “We’re looking at ways outside of the normal methods of recruitment,” Whitton said. NEISD is also interested in local SCHOOL STAFF SHORTAGES The following are numbers of available positions and vacancies in select employment areas in North East and Northside ISDs, as reported by Jan. 3.

NISD unveils timeline for superintendent search OTHER STORIES TO FOLLOW IN 2023

District ocials on Jan. 12 said focus groups composed of NISD sta, students, parents, business leaders and other residents are aiding former educator Mike Moses and attorney

NORTHSIDE ISD NORTH EAST ISD

Brian Woods

In late December, Northside ISD reported 610 vacancies, including 200 teaching, 250 custodial, 75 food service and 85 bus-driving jobs. However, Ben Muir, NISD’s assistant superintendent for human resources, said NISD had fewer vacan- cies in most stang departments in the middle of the school year than it had at the start of the academic year. Muir said NISD failed to see an uptick in applicants after the school board voted last summer to adopt a 2% average salary range midpoint raise for all employees and a 4% mid- point pay increase for auxiliary sta. Muir said many prospective employees feel even higher hourly wages at NISD still cannot help them to keep pace with rising costs of living. “Plus, there’s not a huge pool of teachers we can pull from. Pre-COVID[-19], we had more people applying for a job than we had available positions. I think COVID[-19] made people re-evaluate their life and priorities,” Muir said. Chyla Whitton, NEISD human resources executive director, said the district is focused on strengthening its recruitment and retention eorts. She said NEISD and other Texas school districts are trying to grow the numbers of full-time teachers through the ranks of substitute teachers,

military retirees who may entertain employment opportunities within the school district, Whitton said. “Veterans have talents in every area. Their skills are scaleable, espe- cially in the classroom,” Whitton said. Transportation leaders in NISD and NEISD said they have gotten creative in response to bus driver shortages. NISD Transportation Director Tesilia Soliz said her department was short 80-plus transportation employ- ees in December and has resorted to having many drivers double or triple the number of routes they cover each day in a 355-square-mile school district. The bus driver shortage also prompted NISD to cut bus routes in certain areas where a crossing guard may help children walk to and from their school. Soliz said NISD is taking such steps as oering a $300 bonus to incentivize employees who successfully recom- mend someone who ends up getting a district job. Soliz also said NISD is more consci- entious about its recruitment eorts. “We’re doing everything and anything to recruit,” she said. NEISD Transportation Director Bill Harrison said his department was short 31 full-time bus drivers out of 242 total bus driver slots as of Dec. 15.

David Thompson’s eorts to support Northside’s search for a successor for Superintendent Brian Woods, who is retiring. Moses and Thompson have helped many Texas school districts with similar searches. NISD trustees will meet Jan. 31 to name nalist applicants for February interviews, with a plan to name a lone nalist by March 1.

Harrison said NEISD is proactive with recruitment, including advertis- ing jobs on 15 billboards citywide and oering more driving hours per week. Harrison also said NEISD strives to steer clear of having drivers double or triple their number of routes. “We’ve consolidated seven routes where that makes sense,” Harrison said.
