Springtown Independent School District
Springtown Independent School District is a public school district based in Springtown, Texas (USA) in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
Located in Parker County, a small portion of the district extends into Wise County.
The school mascot (dating back to the mid-1920s) is the porcupine (which is not native to the area). In a nod to the famed "MOJO" of Permian High School, the school mascot is nicknamed "POJO."
In 2009, the school district was listed as a "Recognized" district by the Texas Education Agency.[1]
In September 2012 the board of the district voted to allow an administrator giving a school punishment paddling of a student to be of the opposite sex of the student; the school district said this is because of a lack of female administrators. This occurred after an incident where a male assistant principal gave a school-sanctioned paddling to two female students, and some parents said that the paddling resulted in bruises.[2]
