Dallas ISD buys a new administration building, students protest, and election day is only a week away. Here's what you missed.
It's not a good look for Dallas ISD to buy a new building when protests are literally breaking out across the district centering around facilities issues. South Oak Cliff wants a new building, Spruce wants actual teachers in their classrooms, WT White wants facility improvements. Also, I'm not a scientist or a real estate expert, but couldn't we have sold property first, leased from the buyer for a brief period of time, and then purchased a new building with the money we made from the sale instead of buying first and hoping someone buys our buildings? Maybe I'm talking crazy and that's just something tons of people do when they buy houses.
Other than the protests, the races for trustee across the district have started to heat up as election day gets closer. Make sure you get out and vote today if you haven't already! There's no wait during early vote and you can do it anywhere.
Here's what you missed this week.
