Four ECISD School Board Members Voted On A Contract But Didn't Specify The Cost!

Soon after an independent auditor recommended ways for the Edinburg school district to improve how it handles the public’s money, the local school board, on a 4-3 vote, recently agreed to pay Hidalgo County an unspecified fee to conduct the school board election in November.

Anyone doing business like this would have been FIRED! How much is all this going to cost? How in the hell can you vote on a contract with unspecified amounts? And you expect us to trust you four idiots with a bond election? You are crazy!

The Edinburg school board approved the contract at its Tuesday, February 26 public meeting.

Although the agenda packet for the school board members stated there was indeed a written cost estimate available for public review, no such document was provided, either to the board members or on the school district’s website that is available to the public.

Both veteran political leaders are expected to run for reelection. We can't wait!


The Bond Issue

Proposition 1 includes building four (4) elementary schools, two (2) middle schools; converting Harwell Middle School into a fourth high school; three (3) multi-purpose fine arts centers at each of the existing high schools; Brewster School addition/renovations, and land acquisition for a total of $111,920,000.

Why in the world do you need three multi purpose fine arts center? What about UTPA and there new 50 million dollar fine art center? What happened to that?

I can see we need schools. But not this other junk. So who in the world is going to get rich off this bond election? What companies are you going to use for construction?

Is Rio Grande Steel involved? Who is putting up the $20,000 for this election? When you find out who these people are. Ask yourself one question. What do these people do for a living? All your answers will be told.
