AISD Bond - 2017

[austin242]

Bowie does not need a Parking Garage. It is a waste of Money. People Need to ride the Damn BUSSES already provided. All the students are so privileged already they can drive to school when they could just ride the bus like at most other schools. Bowie is the most spoiled school in the whole city. That is $50,000,000 wasted. For that price, they could get their own personal light rail system from circle c to the school, with one stop at Escarpment, La Crosse, and the other at Bowie. I will be Voting it down just for that alone. I went to Bowie from 2012-2013. Locker Rooms are fine at bowie. We shared lockers. People didn't clean their stuff (which is why they get staph) Locker Rooms were of sufficient size. The football team is just too big. Only 9th graders shared lockers. The theater needs to be renovated. It's way too small.

I would rather just see a New High School Built somewhere in South Austin. Then Both Akins and Bowie would no longer have the problems of Over Crowding. Bowie wouldn't have to spend money on a new marching field across the street. Akins wouldn't have to add a new wing every few years because they had 50 classrooms in portables. Bowie wouldn't have parking problems (which it shouldn't have in the first place). Someone said that they appropriate bond money very poorly. That is clearly the case. As a former student of A.I.S.D I believe they need to sort out their priorities.
