School bond now in commissioners' court
On Tuesday the Board of Education approved its final project list for a proposed November bond referendum in time for county commissioners to vote on it next week. Check out the updated school bond guide to get more details about the projects. Keep in mind that some of the numbers have changed and so the project descriptions may have to be updated again.

The Bond is much improved over a couple of months ago. However, there is risk of failure because the BOE did not discipline it's self. First of all, there is about 5 years work here. The tax increase to support it will be sky high, especially since there will be a large increase to support the regular budget. They should reduce it to 3 years work and go back to the voters later. Second, they put in athletic money to get votes. The problem is that they made as many people unhappy as they made happy. To give millions to 4 schools and zero to others only works if you are going to take care of the others next time around. This may not be possible. Athletic money should be for the entire county. Each school should make their needs know and we should take what we get and try to satisfy as many needs as possible.
