TISD Bond Issue Campaign in Home Stretch

TYLER — We’re in the home stretch in the campaign for the TISD bond issue. Many local groups have endorsed the school bonds, but opponents have mounted a well-funded campaign as well. “We’re on the way up. I’m very happy with the direction we’re going,” Superintendent Randy Reid opened. According to KETK, the cafetorium at Owens Elementary School was set up for 160 people. Considerably fewer showed up. At the last meeting, Superintendent Randy Reid was hit with questions about plan specifics, even though he outlined comprehensively where the money was going. Unlike the last meeting, this time the questions were aimed at information, not combat. Many are worried about the future of Rice Elementary School. The main issue seems to be timing in a limping economy.
