Mitchell Energy 8c Develop
ment Co. Tuesday pledged
$100,000 in emergency finan
cial assistance to the district, in
cluding a $75,000 prepayment
of taxes totaling $387,000 not
due until January 1985 and a
$25,000 “challenge” grant to be
matched by a fundraising drive
among individuals and smaller
local businesses in the school dis
trict.
Mitchell Energy Sc Develop
ment Corp. is not located in the
Magnolia school district, but
officials said their future de
velopments of The Woodlands
will be in that area.
The Magnolia district in April
voted to eliminate all extracurri
cular activities, including foot
ball, band and other athletic and
music programs in response to a
voter tax limitation measure
which slashed $1 million from
next year’s school budget.
But, with the one-time only
grant from Mitchell Energy, the
school district may be able to
overcome the immediate shock
and abrupt loss of revenue, said
Edward P. Lee Sr., president of
The Woodland Group, a divi
sion of Mitchell.
Using the Mitchell money and
other outside funds totaling
$130,000 and $48,000 reallo
cated in the present 1983-84
school budget,school district
officials said they will be able to
reinstate football, girls’ vol
leyball, basketball and track and
field to a limited number of stu
dents on the junior high and
high school levels next year.
However, soccer, swimming,
baseball and girl’s softball will
not be reinstated.
Nick T. Bogner, president of
the school board, said he hoped
other companies like Mitchell
Energy would come to the aid of
the district.
“If other companies and indi
viduals follow this lead, the
short-term solution to the dis
trict’s pressing financial prob
lems may be found, helping save
MISD programs and allowing
the district time to unify the
community and to plan wisely
for the future,” he said.

Principal Perry Pope said
he thinks the substance is
vegetable oil, and he had to
