With a district as large as Northwest ISD, the possibility of fraudulent business practicies can grow year to year. Often times, it is the students, business partners and booster club organizations who suffer as a result of scam artists. Recently, an organization named Touchdown Sports, claiming to represent NISD, fraudulently sold advertising to one of our business partners for thousands of dollars. When the advertiser contacted NISD to hang banner ads in our facilities, they realized Touchdown Sports has mirepresented themselves and defrauded the customer. Please be aware that NO EXTERNAL ORGANIZATION IS AUTHORIZED TO REPRESENT OR SELL ADVERTISING FOR NISD AT ITS CAMPUSES. The only external advertising partnership Northwest ISD has is with EFPages, which is currently selling ads in a magazine (not schools). The district has no other partner to sell advertising. We want to do our best to prevent this type of fraudulent business practice from occurring again in the future. We ask all of our community members and business partners to contact the NISD administration directly if you are unsure about vendors or businesses claiming to represent or sell advertising for Northwest ISD and its campuses. You can reach us at 817-215-0056, or email NISD Communications Coordinator Jerry Cantu at [email protected].
