In 2017, Texas shoppers
get a break from state and
local sales taxes on Aug.
11-13 (Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday) — the state’s annu-
al tax holiday. As in previ-
ous years, the law exempts
most clothing, footwear,
school supplies and back-
packs priced under $100
from sales and use taxes,
which could save shoppers
about $8 on every $100 they
spend.
Subject to the criteria
explained below, all sales
of qualifying items made
during the holiday period
qualify for the exemption,
including items sold online,
or by telephone or mail.
Lay-away plans can be used
again this year to take ad-
vantage of the sales tax hol-
iday.

Clothing and Footwear
Retailers are not re-
quired to collect state and
local sales or use tax on
most footwear and clothing
that are sold for less than
$100 during the holiday.
Exemption certificates are
not required. The exemp-
tion applies to each eligible
item that sells for less than
$100, regardless of how
many items are sold on the
same invoice to a customer.
For example, if a customer
purchases two shirts for $80
each, then both items qual-
ify for the exemption, even
though the customer’s total
purchase price ($160) ex-
ceeds $99.99.

The Sanger ISD Board
of Trustees has announced
that they have selected Dr.
Sandra McCoy-Jackson as
the Lone Finalist for the po-
sition of Superintendent.
Since former SISD Su-
perintendent Kent Crutsing-
er announced his retirement,
the board has been planning
and working through an
extensive search process.
They retained the services
of Walsh, Gallegos, Trevi-
no, Russo and Kyle for this
process, along with Dr. Ann
Dixon, who served with ed-
ucation consultation. The
position was posted the
position on TexasISD and
TASANet, and Sanger ISD
received an overwhelming
response of 48 applications.
Dr. Dixon conducted
extensive reference checks
on behalf of the board, and
individual board members
also did some investigation
of the applicants as well.
The board reviewed the
applications and narrowed
them down to six highly
qualified individuals who
were interviewed by the full
board over the course of two
nights. Of those six, two
candidates rose to the top of
the board’s list. Those two
were interviewed a second
time by the board, who then
unanimously selected Dr.
Jackson as the lone finalist.
Dr. Jackson comes to
Sanger after working as an
Assistant Superintendent in
several large school districts,
including Duncanville ISD
most recently, and Allen
ISD and Brazosport ISD be-
fore that.
The board members be-
lieve that her energy, ideas
and passion for educating
the students of Sanger ISD
will help build on the suc-
cesses of the district going
forward.
Dr. Jackson spent 16
years of her career as a
teacher in the classroom,
so she understands and can
relate to the hard work of
the teachers and students.
While in Allen ISD, she was
the Region X Principal of
the Year, and she is highly
respected by her peers and
supervisors.
Dr. Jackson cannot be
hired as Superintendent un-
til after a 21-day waiting pe-
riod that is required by state
law, and the board antici-
pates officially hiring her on
August 21. After that date,
the board will host a recep-
tion for the community to

meet and get to know Dr.
Jackson. In the meantime,
the board has asked her to
be in the district serving in
a consulting role when pos-
sible. Dr. Jackson was avail-
able to begin consulting with
Dr. Freeman and the rest of
the staff right away because
she had left her position
in Duncanville in June to
care for a family member.
The board feels this will be
a great opportunity for Dr.
Jackson to be involved in the
start of the new school year
at Sanger ISD.
"I am extremely pleased
and excited to be the super-
intendent of Sanger ISD,”
Dr. Jackson said. “I cannot
wait to meet all of the hard-
working educators, parents
and community members
that have energized and en-
gaged the Sanger ISD stu-
dents."
Dr. Jackson’s website
sums up her vision on edu-
cation:
“How to fix a broken
school? Lead fearlessly and
love hard. My vision is to
educate and elevate so all
children have the opportuni-
ty to innovate. My mission
is to ensure all students have
an enriched classroom expe-
rience that will help guide
and manage their lives and
learning for a lifetime.”
Dr. Jackson’s points on
her educational philosophy
include:
