Workshop questions Thrall ISD employee day care

THRALL — The cost of running a day care for Thrall Independent School District teachers and staff may end up putting the project into a permanent timeout, officials said.

During a workshop after the regular school board meeting Wednesday, district Business Manager Blake Schneider noted Thrall ISD could lose $40,000 to $50,000 annually on the program.

Both Schneider and Director of Programs Jolena Pokorny during a year of preparation visited two similar-sized school districts to learn about their child care facilities and discovered both took a financial hit.
