Hispanic Business Group Endorses TISD Bond

TYLER — The Hispanic Business Alliance Advisory Committee has voted to support Tyler ISD’s $89.85 million bond package in the November election. The move came following a presentation by TISD Superintendent Dr. Randy Reid and school trustee Eleno Licea. The alliance’s Price Arredondo says the alliance “recognizes the need to replace the final two elementary schools and build a new middle school relief campus given the current overcrowding and growing student population.” Alliance members also said the TISD board and administration “have proven to be good stewards of the bond funds and have demonstrated a commitment to academic improvement.”

The Hispanic Business Alliance’s mission is to support and enhance the Hispanic business community. Opposition to the bond issue includes the citizen group Grassroots America – We the People, along with a new group concerned about possible relocation of Rice Elementary School.
