I’ve been on the board for nearly four years and am currently the board president. Our family has lived in Boerne for coming up on 10 years. I love Boerne values and want to ensure that Boerne remains Boerne. There’s no place like it. As a local financial service professional, I contribute to the district being financially responsible and keeping taxes low. I’m proud of our record of paying off debt early over the last 3 years as we’re on track to pay off the 2022 bond in under 10 years.
We also need more funding to adequately pay our staff as we are in the bottom 0.1% in terms of funding on a per student basis compared to every other school district in the state of Texas. Our staff hasn’t seen a significant raise since 2019, and in that time inflation has been upwards of 25%. Also, the cost of living in Boerne is higher than the state average. We need the state to allow us to increase compensation for our staff in accordance with inflation
and the cost of living.
Many families are indicating the need to replace some of our aging facilities and alleviate excessive traffic. In coming months and years, I’d like to see the district address these concerns wherever we have the ability to help fix the problem. Placing new facilities in locations with multiple points of entry and close proximity to IH-10 will help manage some of the traffic issues. In addition, our aging sports facilities need to be updated.
