I had fun joining Maverick for his lunch up at Eanes Elementary today. That campus is in dire need of renovations and maintenance due to enrollments which well exceed capacity and failed bonds which would have addressed many of the facility shortcomings. Never is the need more apparent than on a rainy day visit to the cafeteria. The campus was designed for less than 500 students and yet today is serving well over 650. The critical need for square footage additions to the campus did not make the list on the 2015 Bond, but thankfully the repairs to the existing canopy structure (so critical for our outdoor campus) did make the list. I am hopeful that our community will support this critical needs bond which will allow the Eanes Elementary children and staff to stay safe and dry at school. Vote YES on May 9th!
