EPISD–travel spending

December 26, 2017

The EPISD November 2017 travel report that was presented to their finance committee contained this”

Not only does it look like the superintendent has slowed down his spending, but it appears that some of the board members are traveling on their own dime.

We deserve better

County goes dark

December 22, 2017

The county used to post agendas and backup material for their commissioners court meetings.

Looking for something on November 27, 2017 this is what their web page produced:

They will let you look at recent purchasing board meetings, but regular meetings of the commissioners court are only available up to October of 2013.  That means that we cannot see what they have done for the last four years.

Current agendas and backup materials are not available.

Is this an accident or is it a deliberate attempt to limit our access to information?  Are they doing this to make it harder to understand what our former county judge did?

We deserve better

EPISD–planetarium

December 21, 2017

It is hard to believe that EPISD has no plan for moving their planetarium when the city kicks them out of their central offices by the airport.

The school district has made plans to move but according to recent news reports the plans do not include moving the planetarium.  Instead it seems that they are asking the city for money to accomplish the move.

Many of us would think that with the amount of money the district is spending on the central office move and the bond issue that they would have found a way to fund a great resource for students.

We deserve better
