Our focus right now is really just trying to make sure these kids are OK. They've suffered through an enormous ordeal.

Essentially if an evacuee is living within the boundaries of a district, everything at that point is left up to the district. They are not required to provide proof of residency. If they say 'we evacuated from Louisiana,' that's all they have to say.

Teachers and textbooks... those are the two most costly items our districts will incur. That's what they're hoping the federal government will pick up the tab for.

That's an increase of 4,000 from the previous day. So, we don't know when it's going to slow down.

Right now our biggest concern is that these kids get enrolled in school.

We have evacuees all across Texas in hotels and we encourage those families to enroll the schoolchildren in school districts in the area once they're situated.

We are not sure how high the number will go. We heard enrollment is expected to rise this week, since some people in the shelters are feeling a little settled.
