Preliminary Schools FIRST Ratings show admirable financial practices

Special to the Advance EDINBURG — The Region One Education Service Center (ESC) recently presented the 2021-2022 Preliminary School FIRST (Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas) ratings during a Public Hearing held Aug. 18 at its Edinburg main office. The preliminary data shows most of the school systems in the Region receiving an “A” or Superior Achievement after earning between 90-100 points during the assessment.

Not the normal way most pilots behave

During my flying career, I only flew with one weirdo passenger who seemed a little unbalanced, mentally speaking, present company excluded. I was supposed to fly a middle-aged guy (now I’d consider him young) from Brownsville to Laredo, and prior to the flight, he showed clear signs of abnormal behavior. He acted odd, and I heard him talking on the phone to someone, and what he was saying made him sound somewhat deranged. It’s been so long ago, I can’t remember the details. All I can remember is that the guy was giving off such bad vibes, there was no way I wanted to be alone inside the airplane with him.
