EPISD maintenance crew

April 17, 2016

happy

I’m confused.

The Times reported the other day that the Texas Association of School Business Officials is telling EPISD that they have 70 more maintenance workers than The Association of Physical Plant Administrators suggests for schools.

According to the report EPISD has 198 maintenance workers but only needs 128.

If that is the case, why is it that many of our schools are in such disrepair that the district is considering demolishing them and building new facilities?

We deserve better

Repurposing a school

April 6, 2016

A recent letter from Dori Fenenbock (president of EPISD board) contained the following:

The central office must relocate and it is more cost effective to own our own facility so that we don’t find ourselves in this situation again. We are considering various options, including the repurposing of an existing school. This will be funded, as it is currently, from operational funds not from a potential bond.

It seems that our elected board of trustees is working harder to find solutions than the former appointed board of managers.
