Oh ye of Skyline - never under any circumstances accept "It's a done deal"

Remember why should you accept "No" as an answer from someone who cannot say "yes".

Organize! Stategize! Mobilize and maybe compromise. But do not roll over!

Do not accept this as a threat to pass the New bond proposal.

This is our school district, not Ms Mincheaux's or Mr Hinojosa's or even Mr. Martinez's or Ms. Collier's. Get the committee names of those recommending this to the Supe/bd of trustees and check out where they live - in or out of the district. Where their kids go to school. Pressure your trustee - not just the one that happens to have Skyline in their district.

Beware, all kinds of changes will be threatened to pass another bond. Have no part of it. Any bond program has never and will never be implemented as presented. The presentations will only be for passage and then they proceed as they wish, no obligation legal or otherwise to build, or fund as the original proposal suggested. Remember also, that there is no recall for school board trustees in Texas. Another reason to contact your state legislative folk for help. Make democracy work for you.

This your school, your kids, and your money. Come up with a solution or at least a group of folk willing to work toward resolve. Demand participation and input. But don't let it be a done deal!

[Ed Note: Again, I'm asking: are the moves to Conrad really going to destroy a magnet program--or is all this animosity a result of the administration's failure to communicate? My first impression is that the move doesn't sit well with me either--but I don't know why. Nobody to this point has explained why this is bad.

So before we talk about recalling trustees or call everyone to mass protests, can we figure out exactly what everybody is mad about?]
