DISD has the money to fix itself.

If you start getting rid of the following folk, you'll have plenty of money.

Adminstrative Assistant 4-5.

Aside from money there is no difference between them and admin. assistant 3.

Clear out some of these Specialists that do nothing at our schools. If all you do is come to school and gossip, you need to be gone.

Get rid of staff development-most folks don't go to it because it's the same thing every year or the topic has nothing to do with thier job. How is a class about helping kids on computers be useful for a school that doesn't have them? Or allow kids to use them?

Get rid of folks that have tons of complaints on them. Especially if they are still causing problems at the schools.

Make some folk RETIRE! DISD needs some young blood that are not Teachers, Hall Monitors, Clerks or Teacher Assistants.
Terminate contracts with outside companies if you already have folk doing the same thing. Especially when the DISD person is making 30 thousand and the contract person is making 70 thousand. Both are paid by DISD. Ask the computer folks about this.

And I know a large group of folk that would vote that bond package down since the last two packages didn't include a certain school. That school was told by the school board (Rojas & Moses era) that they would only provide 10 million to rebuild the school. The cost was projected at 90 million.

The rest would have to be provided from by the former students, staff and whoever else cared. You would think the school that gave us Ernie Banks and is a historical landmark would get a little more respect. The school in question is Booker T Washington.
