General information

The district, founded in 1985, primarily serves Boles Children's Home, and was known as Boles Home Independent School District before the name change. Today the district serves the common public and is not only a children's home any longer. As of 2011, there is a waiting list to be a student at Boles ISD. The district's Superintendent is Dr. Graham Sweeney (named 2010 Superintendent of the year by the Texas Rural Education Association ).

The campus' fiber optic networking allows access to the Internet and the capability to extend that service to the Boles Children's Home. Thus, the community is linked to the school via fiber. The district offers distance education courses and training through Region X Educational Service Center. The district is linked directly via T-1 to Texas A&M – Commerce and several other school districts through ET-LINC." [7]
