| LEARN MORE ABOUT THE HISD BOND ELECTION |
This November voters will be asked to vote on an HISD bond: Propositions A and B on your ballot. The Miles administration’s request for $4.4 Billion for rebuilds, renovations, technology, security, and four separate CTE centers has received significant media attention, so you may have heard about it already. The PTO does not take a position as an organization, but aims to provide balanced information to inform our membership. To that end, the PTO is joining with other area PTAs and PTOs to host a roundtable on the HISD bond election on October 22 at 5:30pm at St. Mark’s UMC on Pecore. Both sides of the issue will be presented. Please send your questions in advance to hello@helmspta.org.
