Public Discussion on TISD Bond Issue

TYLER — The League of Women Voters held a public discussion of the proposed TISD bond issue Monday evening. Opponents keyed on discipline and academic concerns, saying those need to be dealt with before money is spent on facilities. Supporters of the bond proposal said aging facilities need to be addressed — and that a proposed career and tech center will be a great addition. Attendees had an opportunity to weigh in during a question-and-answer session. Voters will decide May 11 whether to move forward with three new middle schools, two renovated elementary schools, and the career/technology center.
