Bledsoe Independent School District
Bledsoe Independent School District was a public school district based in western Cochran County, Texas, 75 miles east of Lubbock, at the border with New Mexico. It consolidated with the Whiteface Independent School District to form Whiteface Consolidated Independent School District.
In 1996, the district was rated as "Exemplary" by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
In 1956, it voted to consolidate with the Sligo Independent School District.
Bledsoe ISD was the sole proprietor of Bledsoe Natural Gas, which was indirectly supplied by El Paso Natural Gas and served 66 customers in Cochran County in 1976.
It had an enrollment of 65 in 1985, decreasing to 32 by 1993.
The 1993 state-implemented Robin Hood plan scheme compelled districts to distribute wealth. Like other property-rich West Texas districts, it found itself with a low enrollment and high tax valuation. That same year, it approved the Robin Hood plan and sent approximately $30,000 to the state.
State senator Teel Bivins pointed out lawmakers underestimated the impact of the Robin Hood plan legislation on smaller Texas school districts, though decreasing enrollment was also a factor.
Its enrollment totaled 38 by the end of the 1995–1996 school year. It served 21 students from kindergarten to the sixth grade while 17 students grades 7 to 12 attended Whiteface ISD schools beginning in 1989.
