Readers support making tranferring college credits easier; question a couple of Frisco ISD propositions; also blame school board in Fort Worth ISD’s problems; and worry about changes coming to Southwest Airlines.Re: “Ensure ‘2 plus 2′ path adds up to a 4-year degree — Texas should coordinate transfer of credits from community colleges to universities,” by Lauren Schudde and Huriya Jabbar, Sept. 18 Opinion.
The leaders of these institutions deserve enormous credit for their hard work. It’s my hope their collective work can serve as a model for our entire state.While, in general, I am in agreement in voting for the four propositions being put forth to the voters, I do have reservations.The increase in the maintenance and operations tax rate may be needed for raises for teachers, but I believe a closer look needs to be taken at Frisco ISD’s administrative staff and structure.
A tennis center is definitely a luxury. There are 12 high schools with at least eight tennis courts per school, as well as tennis courts at all the middle schools. There are plenty of courts available to hold tournaments. Frisco is not exactly a desert for food options either, eliminating the need for concessions at tournaments.
Finally, in Proposition B there is approximately $32 million included for landscape enhancements. Frisco ISD does not take care of the landscape and grass they already have. Spending an additional $32 million on replacing landscapes they will not take care of in the future is a waste of money. Find a way to take care of what you have instead of spending more on replacements.This is a classic case of using capital dollars to replace problems that were caused by inadequate operational dollars.
Superintendents in the 21st century need to be jacks of all trades: budgetary expert, lobbyist with the Texas Legislature, placater of parents, collaborator with PTAs, disciplinarian, role model and someone with the ability to see the future and be seen and have a presence in all facets of a district’s “supply chain of education.
