Trustees discuss ways to achieve better communication with community
Waxahachie Daily Light
The failure of the Waxahachie Independent School District bond election at the polls on May 1 leaves the WISD board of trustees facing what to do next.
The proposed $127 million bond referendum was soundly rejected, with 3,861 votes against to 2,897 votes for. Monday night was the first regular monthly meeting since the balloting, and board members agreed that the district needs better communication with the community.
Newly-installed WISD board secretary Melissa Starnater said the district needs to survey the community and seek out best practices from other parts of the state in order to make the next bond issue work. One suggestion she made was to break future bond votes down into propositions, which she said seemed to fare better in other school districts.
$127M referendum addresses projected massive growth in enrollment
Waxahachie Daily Light
Next Saturday, May 1, Waxahachie Independent School District voters will go to the polls to decide a referendum that, if approved, would begin to channel the expected tsunami of growth bearing down upon the district.
In February, the WISD board of trustees unanimously referred a $127 million bond issue to voters, as recommended by WISD chief financial officer Ryan Kahlden. Superintendent Dr. Bonny Cain said at the time that a voter-approved bond issue would not necessitate a property tax increase.
“Our student enrollment just continues to grow,” Cain said. “We’ve been told we will have 1,000 extra students next year … When you’re looking at the houses that are selling and the houses that are being proposed, we need to be ready.”
