The people have spoken and they wanted more taxes. I'm a bit surprised at the margin. 64% to 36% on a bond package that was voted down last year? Sounds fishy to me, but not at all surprising. Actually, I was more surprised it got voted down last time.
"We were responsive to the community and the bond package was focused on classroom and instructional needs," she said. [emphasis added]
It's good to see that this dedicated educator hasn't lost her senses of humor. Let's recap, shall we:
  • Clear Creek High School (new band hall and new dance, scene and theater studio)
  • Clear Brook High School (new dance studio and new gymnasium)
  • New agricultural facility (to serve Clear Brook and Clear Lake high schools)
  • Gymnasiums at elementary schools (Armand Bayou, Clear Lake City, Greene, Hall, Landolt, Ross, Whitcomb and White)
  • Scoreboards
  • Bleachers
  • New tennis courts at intermediate schools (12)
  • Upgrade athletic facilities (26)
  • Outdoor athletic storage buildings (12)
I'm glad these kids are going to have new gyms, tennis courts, outdoor athletic storage buildings, and bleachers to enrich their classroom environment.
