• Teen first jobs in spring area - who is actually hiring 15/16 year olds right now?

  Just a heads up on scheduling once they do get hired. Make sure you set firm boundaries on school nights right from the beginning. Texas labor laws limit hours for 15 year olds during the school year anyway, but some places will schedule them right up to the line. My senior worked at a fast casual spot on Kuykendahl starting at 16 and we had to have a talk with his manager early on because they kept scheduling him until 10:30 PM on Sunday nights when he had AP classes at 7:30 AM on Monday. Once we set the schedule availability in writing it was fine, but you have to watch them.

• How do parents actually keep up with board meetings for Klein ISD and Spring ISD? is it worth going in person?

  I started paying closer attention once my oldest reached high school. Board meetings are where they officially approve high school course guides, graduation dates, and venue agreements. If you have older kids, it is helpful to skim the attachments on the agenda twice a year just to see if high school credit requirements or class rank rules are being revised.
