This morning I met with the Instructional Enrichment Committee for Eanes Elementary, on which I've served for 4 years and distributed over $120K in booster dollars to our EE teachers and EE campus. Raising booster money for our schools is hard work and takes a village of volunteers. My hat goes off to the EEPTO for raising the funds we need to fill the gap, and to the IEC volunteer members who then fastidiously and respectfully spend each one of those dollars, all with the goal of keeping our district excellent.
The IEC discussed plans for making improvements to the EE Mustang Room such that it can be used as multi-purpose space, available to both staff, students and volunteers. Paint. Furniture. Lighting. White boards.....things that would normally be encompassed within a bond measure. Our critical needs bond that was just called does not include funds for these improvements, and yet any EE parent volunteer or staff member can attest that it is clearly a critical need for our campus. I hope our community at large and our EISD parent community supports this bond in May. Every bond dollar we support, both now and in the future, equates to less stress on our booster parent volunteers. I'm all for that!
