Houston Independent School District is hosting several community meetings trying to garner support for the largest bond proposal in Texas history.
–
“This bond is like our only opportunity to vote on anything close to the district,” Jane Lesnick said, whose son attends Herod Elementary School. “So, it’s like how do you express what you think about what job someone is doing? You usually can vote them out or vote for their opponent. We can’t do that now. They won’t even listen to people. This is our only opportunity to say, ‘Give them a grade, on how we think they’re doing.’”“So many people just want to be heard and have input,” Randisi said.
As the three were reading the district’s booklet on the proposal, Lesnick and Randisi said they had more questions.
