EPISD trustee finds her job to be too hard

December 27, 2018

We now have an EPISD trustee leaving her job to take a new job working for our congresswoman elect.

According to an article in the Times the decision was a difficult one for her:

  • “This decision was made less difficult however by the increasing challenge that I have had getting questions answered and concerns addressed,” Byrd writes. “This lack of access to information has made it harder for me to effectively advocate for and communicate to my constituents.”

Really?  She had to work hard to do her job.  To me that is not a valid reason to consider quitting.

Reality

The end result is that she got a job that pays.  Let someone else fend for the children, their parents and the taxpayers even though she committed to do the job.

At this point we don’t know how much she will be paid but that information will be publicly available next year.

It appears that this gives the board of trustees the ability to choose her replacement, probably guaranteeing another vote for whatever they want to do.

We deserve better

Would anyone object if I proposed the banning of all glitter?

A question about the Brio bus stops

December 23, 2018

Some of the readers have been pointing out the cement work done in front of the Brio bus stops.

The Brio buses stop at every red stop light.

Will they damage the roads at the stop lights?  A Brio bus will stop at more stop lights during its circuit than it will at bus stops.

If they won’t then I wonder why the bus stops need special attention.

We deserve better
