TISD Held Public Meeting on Upcoming Bond Proposal

TYLER — Tyler ISD held a meeting Tuesday night at St. Louis Baptist Church to discuss the ‘Bond 2013’ with the community before the May election. A bond that will be on the May 11th ballot. According to KETK, Tyler ISD Superintendent Gary Mooring spoke about building new schools, projects, remodeling, timelines and enrollment.

David Stein, Spokesperson for Tyler Proud, says, “It’s a good decision to pass the bond because it will create a better learning environment.” He says, “It’s great for the kids, it’s great for the teachers, it’s great for the community, it’s just a good to decision.” Opponents of the bond say they want the school district to address academics and discipline before considering facilities improvement.

The board of trustees called for a May bond election to ask voters whether or not to approve a 160.5 million dollar bond.
