CCISD bond elections coming up next week, and the "won't someone
please think of the children" crowd is
at it again.“After the bond issue, the district did a survey. The stadium and the warehouse, two major items that contributed to the negative feedback, were removed. We’ve focused on the academics. Some day we’ll have a district stadium.”
Focused on the academics? Take a look at what they're asking for (or look
here from the first time I ranted about this)
As a taxpayer that's been totally beat down by the government taking what they want, I'll concede the new schools and the land. More people equals more schools. But what about the other stuff? Dance recital rooms? Band halls? A dozen athletic storage buildings? Give me a freakin' break!
Schools are always going to ask for more money. But to ask the citizens of this area for more than
A Quarter Billion Dollars is just absurd.
