Grassroots America Urges Defeat of TISD Bond

TYLER — Grassroots America – We the People joins the No More Excuses, Tyler ISD! Coalition in urging voters to reject the Tyler ISD bond package on the May 11th ballot. The conservative citizen action group cites “a mountain of evidence from both national and state education rating agencies that document Tyler ISD’s poor academic results.” According to a Grassroots America news release, “This bond election is not just about buildings. It should be about setting a higher standard in our community for what the school board and administration produce with our tax dollars.”

Tyler Proud is a local group that endorses the bond proposal. According to KETK, Tyler Proud spokesman David Stein recently said, “It’s a good decision to pass the bond because it will create a better learning environment. It’s great for the kids, it’s great for the teachers, it’s great for the community, it’s just a good decision.” State Senator Kevin Eltife recently voiced his support of the bond proposal and announced that he has joined Tyler Proud.
