Superintendent's Message
A Message from Superintendent Layton
Get ready for another exciting week in Malakoff ISD. Our basketball teams continue to play well on the court. The week ahead will be another big one for both our boys and girls teams, so come out and give them support.
 
Our softball team has started playing games, and last week baseball started practicing. It’s hard to believe that it is already time for spring sports.
 
Our debate team just qualified for state, which is the first time this has happened in Malakoff ISD in many years. Way to go, debate!
 
Malakoff High School freshman Boyd Merritt was awarded a “1” at the Solo & Ensemble Competition in piano. Great job, Boyd.
 
Don’t forget this weekend it’s finally here. The Malakoff Education Foundation will have its Gala at the Athens Country Club on Saturday night. It’s going to be a great evening, and we look forward to seeing you all there.
 
Since it’s February, I want to make sure that as a district, we remember and recognize that it is Black History Month. This is the time across the country that all of us in schools, make sure that we weave the critical accomplishments of African Americans into our school instruction. These are accomplishments that we study all year long, but Black History Month allows us to give these historically significant events a much-deserved boost. Let’s take some time this month to honor those events and deepen our understanding of African American History.
 
Remember that we are off school on Friday and next Monday, giving all of you a much deserved four-day weekend. Enjoy the time off!
Malakoff Independent School District 
To Pay Off Building Bonds Early
 
MALAKOFF, TX, February 6, 2020 -- Malakoff Independent School District is proud to announce that the district will be paying off its Series 2010 school building bond ten years before its balance is due, saving the district over $500,000.
 
“Malakoff ISD prides itself on being a good steward of taxpayer money,” explained Superintendent Don Layton. “Paying off this bond early, and saving our taxpayers slightly over half a million dollars in bond repayments shows that we take our charge of being responsible to the taxpayers in our school district very seriously.”
 
Money from the 2010 bond was used to complete several projects in the district, including the renovation of Malakoff Elementary School’s “Rock Building,” building a new science wing at Malakoff High School, updating some of the athletic facilities including a new press box at the football field, and other smaller projects throughout the district. 

Sincerely,
Don Layton

Better Together
Malakoff Elementary is doing awesome!! The students and teachers are working so hard getting ready for the big STAAR test. 
 
Students in 1st through 5th grades should have brought home information for the MES Big Kahuna fundraiser. We hope the kids do well with this. The funds made will go towards adding some awesome stuff to our campus to provide an incentive to the students to continue doing well. We hope we have awesome participation!! Oh, and we can't forget the party bus for the kids, which they love!!
 
Please continue ensuring your child comes to school every day ready to learn! When kids are absent, they miss an entire day of learning, and it's difficult for them to catch up. We have the best kids and parents anywhere around, and I am very pleased with our attendance thus far. Parents/Guardians are rocking it!!!
 
ITS A GRRRREEEAATT TIME TO BE A TIGER!!!!!!
