2014 BOND ELECTION
It's FUN to be Facilitated!
As soon as
the 2013
bond
proposal
was
soundly
defeated
in
November
2013,
8,841 to
7,398, and
only one
precinct
surrounding
the ESC in west Fort
Bend
County had
a majority
in favor
of the
bond, the
school
district
began to
plan for
the
next
bond. (What
that vote says
is that
the people
who didn't
have a
vested
interest
in the
outcome of
the
election
voted
AGAINST
it!) But
the school
district never
gives up.
And while
they were
biding
their time
waiting
for the
right
moment to
spring
another
bond on
the
public,
they
managed to
come up
with
$5,000,000
to build
the "STEM"
center
with money
from the
Maintenance
and
Operations
portion of
the tax
rate.
Such a
move flies
in the
face of a
majority
of voters
who voted
NO on the
bond
proposal
that
included
the STEM
center!
This
expenditure
also takes
money away
from the
part of
the tax
base that
pays for
salaries
for
teachers
and other
employees!
This
action is
just
another
example of
how we
have a
superintendent
who does
what he
wants to
do because
there is a
Board of
Trustees
in place
that has
absolutely
no control
over what
he does!
In addition, the message should have been loud and clear that the parents of students in our district wanted the buses back. They are fed up with their kids being placed in danger by not having buses available as they have always been until Alton Frailey got here! (I'm hearing that the bus issue is now on the agenda for the March meeting. That would be because the superintendent believes that the bus issue is what defeated "his" bond last November. Let's show him that it was much more than that! It's about a school district and a school board that doesn't really care about the academic education of any of our children!) [They have put off addressing the bus issue until closer to the bond election date. Makes sense if one is in their shoes!
The
superintendent
and the
school
board
obviously don't
listen to
the
voters.
Citizens
can't do
much about
the
superintendent,
but they
can sure
make
certain
that they
vote out
the
incumbents
as they
come up
for a vote
if they
haven't
opposed
these
senseless
bonds and
other
issues
that are
put in
front of
them by
the
current
superintendent.
