BELLVILLE ISD SUPT. TO TEACH AT BELLVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

  

Bellville ISD Superintendent Dr. Nicole Poenitzsch will be back in the classroom starting this fall.

The Bellville School Board unanimously approved the superintendent’s request to teach AP English 3 at Bellville High School during the coming school year, in addition to performing her standard duties.  Her classes will be every other day from 8 to 9:30 a.m.

Dr. Poenitzsch, who has taught finance and law courses online for Texas A&M since coming to Bellville ISD in 2019, told trustees that she missed the connection with students.  She also said she does not want to become too far removed from the classroom setting in order to better understand what today’s teaching is like.

According to Dr. Poenitzsch, there are 65 students signed up for the class.  Right now, she plans to teach just for this year.

Dr. Poenitzsch is not scheduled to teach courses at Texas A&M this fall, and she said she is unsure if the opportunity to do so will come in the spring.  If it does, she said she will evaluate how her teaching in Bellville is going before making a decision.
