Northside
Brian Woods has been superintendent for the district since July 2012. According to the NISD page, 106,863 students are currently enrolled in one of the district’s 120 schools.
The district was formed in 1949 and currently employs 7,648 teachers.
NISD spokesperson Barry Perez sent KSAT the following statement:
Northside ISD is more than an employer; we are truly a family. As Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, Patty Hill says “I have worked for NISD for 45 years and it has always been a place where I feel I am valued and cared for as part of the NISD family no matter what position I held.” We are honored to be named to the Forbes list and will continue to work hard to be a destination district for families and employees.
North East
Also formed in 1949, NEISD is the second-largest school district in San Antonio. A spokesperson for the district, Aubrey Chancellor, said approximately 5,000 teachers are currently employed by NEISD across 70 campuses and roughly 64,000 students are currently enrolled.
“It is an honor to be recognized by Forbes and Statista, however, it is beyond an honor that our employees put NEISD on this prestigious list.” said NEISD Superintendent Sean Maika.
Methodology
Surveys and responses were collected from Oct. 2019 to May 2020 to determine which employers made the list.
The methodology from Forbes states that “responses regarding the same employers were compared throughout the process, so as to account for any statistically significant variations in the results collected before and after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.”
