Getting Your House In Order

A discussion this AM at one of the coffee shop round tables had to do with getting ones house in order. It appears that trustee's are willing to hand property owners a larger tax bill; however, it was reported this AM that the PISD forked over money for the following in the previous months:

Coaches got new bags at a cost of $1,000. Wonder what they carry around in those bags?
T-shirts for making the football playoffs at a cost of $1000.00.
Coaches pullovers for $800.00. Wonder if this is a special type of clothing?

It would not be fair to only concentrate on Athletics so,

It appears the food service staff does not like to eat in their own facility so money was spent on a meal at an eating establishment outside the county. Spending tax payer money outside the district is punishing the businesses that have to pay tax money to support the schools. Wonder if that eating establishment helped contribute to one of the many fund raisers conducted by the school? At the same time the students get left with the chicken burgers!
The district purchased a bucket load of raincoats for someone.
It was also reported that a nice sum of money was spent on Donuts!

It is said that one school district in the area wanted to float a bond and the superintendent put a note out to staff that even though money was in the budget that no money would be spent until after the bond election. This superintendent wanted no perception problems!

Getting your house in order sounds like good advice.
