Today’s Question about a Future Bond for Granbury ISD
Granbury Citizens. . .the current administration IS talking about the next bond - already. They have memos about a future bond and tax rate increase and they are meeting with parents and citizens with full intentions of another bond BEFORE the others are paid off and BEFORE there is a real need.
Three failed bonds do not mean “try again” - they mean listen better. There are better ways to serve our students than debt and tax increases. Community solutions are stronger than top-down decisions.
Let’s fix what we have, fund what we can with existing money and only borrow when ABSOLUTELY necessary and with FULL community buy-in. Also - could we all agree that much of what we already have is top notch and other communities would love to have what we have instead of pining for more.
Let’s fix all we can and improve all we can before we talk about a bond. Let’s pull out that $16.1 million dollars plus the recent savings of $200,000 and decide how best to solve pressing issue that impact teachers and students.
As long as you has property to sell and partially empty school buildings - do not ask for a bond - it is disingenuous. All possible solutions should be sought out and should be strongly supported by the community in a manner that does not increase the debt load for any of us and specifically not our children and our children’s children. Someone needs to stop the crazy spend cycle.
