Regardless if the bond passes or not, Wylie ISD will still welcome nearly 3,100 students over the next 10 years and must hire more teachers and personnel to provide quality instruction. I would appreciate it if you guys would answer that or at least consider answering it. And even though this bond may not raise taxes right now, it more than likely will raise this operating budget for all these new expenses. We all know where the operating budget comes from. My question to ISD and to the board of trustees is, if this $298 million bond is passed and new schools are built, where would funding for new expenses come from? New expenses such as teacher salaries, utilities, maintenance, et cetera? From my understanding, this bond cannot be used for those things. It's a nearly $300 million bond that's being proposed. It says nothing in there about providing ID or anything else. The signup sheet for citizen comments will be available at the meeting location. Board operating procedure says a person who is wishing to address the board shall sign up prior to the beginning of the meeting on the day of the meeting. I was surprised to have Wylie ISD employee sign me up to speak tonight. I'm here to speak about the bond, but I do need to address a quick note.
