Orchestration

As for the idea of 'orchestration' there is no getting around the fact that the PISD has turned into a harmonic symphony gone bad. PISD is trying EVERYTHING in its power to perform CPR on a bad bond proposal.

All the orchestration in the world can't solve the problem for the credit-strapped tax payers. The PISD administration and trustee's just don't understand the reason for the skepticism and the challenge to their internally generated numbers. A recent letter in the local paper points out that the numbers put out by the PISD don't match what the PISD reports to the US Department of Education. After further review the numbers of the PISD and the US D of E, don't match the numbers on the TEA website.

Wonder why those who are going to have to foot this bill for the next 30 years are so SKEPTICAL?

On a more serious note, this bond election is not about the ability of those teaching our children. This writer encourages both sides to be cautious of personal attacks. Personal attacks will do nothing to help anyone regardless of the outcome of the bond election. On that note school district employees who are local property owners need to evaluate their personal family budgets to make sure they can afford an additional $200-$500 a year increase in their property taxes. If you as a district employee support the proposal then determine what lifestyle changes you will have to make to accommodate the decrease in your personal family budget. While reviewing your budget don't forget to include $4.00 a gallon gasoline along with that higher property tax bill that comes every October. Now maybe you see the reason why some are so skeptical!

I am now in Denver and reading about school problems here as well, guess it never ends.
