it still doesn't excuse having poor facilities, no matter how you try to spin it.

hmmm, didn't know that was an option.

The alternative is asking more later. Some people don’t seem to get that when the keep voting down bonds.

Looks like taxes may be going down, in addition to raises for teachers. It would reduce the bond to a $24 month increase for a $100k house. [Hidden Content]

Lol. There was a bond at PNG was almost a much and the sky didn’t fall, prices didn’t go up and no one moved out. And the per capita doesn’t include the outlying areas that are in Nederland ISD. And as far as doing something else, it’s been tried there are people who are just no to anything they think is going to raise their taxes.

Actually most of them will be gearing up to vote no on the next one, which is why the schools are in the shape they are now. They need the people with school age kids voting instead of people without that aren't going to do anything but gripe about their taxes.

Got it. Sounds like a tough road for all the teams in that district.

Ok, can they do that and still play non-district? Would they technically not be part of UIL in that case? Just trying to understand how the rules would work in that situation.

So they are forfeiting the season??

Yeah, you are shorting the new coach time to prepare for the next season if you wait too long.

Some people don’t know how to have a civil conversation and advocate for their side without being nasty. That didn’t start with this bond.

Ok, lets keep it civil please.

I have given you the number, 27.50 a month for a house valued at $100k, you just keep ignoring it. PNG didn't see massive increases in prices around town or businesses closing down because of their bond. So you can keep trying the scare tactics, Klien. The kids have the right to have the proper facilities to learn in , no matter what the test scores are. Shoving classrooms into every available space in poor facilities does not do that.

21-5a game.

Hopefully the rain will stay away long enough to get the base down so all that dirt doesn't wash away.

Good points as well.

All good points.

The 2012 bond came in under budget by quite a bit.

You do realize that some of Port Neches is inside Nederland ISD right? I am referring to people who do not own property inside the ISD or in a couple of cases in Jefferson County at all.

You didn't mention that in your breakdown, I wasn't aware.

LOL. That field really made a big difference in a 52-21 game vs Lee.

Seems a few of the main "no" people on FB don't own property in Nederland, kinda makes you wonder about their motivation.....

Yep, that pretty much covers it. This can has been kicked down the road for so long that the need keeps increasing along with the price. Kick it down the road again and it will keep going up.

If they have money left over, dressing rooms are one of the things on the list.

They better hurry up, times running out to get a program started.
