Bay Area Houston

Michael Smith, the editor of Galveston Daily News said it best:

Our hope is voters are rejecting the incursion of hate-mongering, covert money, outside money, partisan ideology and partisan agendas of all sorts in their decisions about electing local people to volunteer posts.

And former CCISD Board President Laura Dupont said it even better:

The truth is, school boards only work when they reflect the communities they serve — not the agendas of party leadership. That’s why our school board elections are held in May, separate from partisan ballots. We’ve protected that nonpartisan tradition in Texas for over a century because education isn’t supposed to be political.

Over the last decade school boards across the state have been flooded with unlimited money from out of district PACs including Defend Texas Liberty funded by two West Texas Billionaires. In most part they have been successful in winning and controlling school boards bringing chaos, corruption, and cruelty into schools. Do your own research on Keller ISD, Katy ISD, and Friendswood ISD. Friendswood is an example of voters rejecting outside money. The losing candidate raised an outrageous $50,000 from 2 out of district donors. (FYI FISD has only 6 schools. CCISD has over 40)

In the past CCISD voters have rejected this outside money and political influence by rejecting Trustee Bowen’s recruited candidates, Christine Parizo, Misty Dawson, and Pete Lauzon. All three were woefully uneducated in education. Bowen’s buddy, Joe Machol, is also a very poor choice for our kids and Scott Bowen is responsible for this political sideshow and outside influence into the district. On Saturday voters have a chance to put an end to outside, political influence and solidify CCISD as a shining example of putting parents, teachers, students, and tax payers above partisan politics.

As Ms Dupont said:

Local elections matter more than ever. The best way to protect our schools is by electing leaders who are there for the right reasons.

Election Day is May 3 this Saturday.
