According to an article in the El Paso Times the other day, EPISD convened a group of high school students from all EPISD high schools to consider the current bond initiative. The Times wrote:
The students said programs and teachers were more important to them than school buildings, and they also supported creating pre-K-8 schools.
I guess that none of them are in the construction or real estate businesses.
