Klein ISD bond voting is underway
Early voting is underway for the Klein ISD bond election. Proponents of the bond are saying opponents don't want what's best for the kids, teachers face layoffs if the bond isn't passed, and that Klein ISD faces severe overcrowding if this bond isn't enacted. Actually, opponents of this bond DO agree a bond is needed. What opponents don't agree with is how the school district is allocating the $640 million bond.
Bonds do not fund salaries, and the district is already facing a dire overcrowding situation which this bond will not fix.
Opponents of this bond would like to see less money for palatial high schools, and more money for new elementary school construction. Opponents would like to see two NEW high schools, not one new one and one rebuilt one. Opponents would not like to see unnecessary and unwanted $1400 tablet PC's financed with a 25-year bond. Opponents would like to see a Steering Committee that's made up of a majority of parents representative of all areas of the district, not a majority made up of district employees.
Opponents would like to see a well-thought-out bond that won't require the district to come and ask for another $700 million in four more years to build the schools it should have planned to build with this bond. And planning for a new bond in 2012 is already underway.
