Maybe it would help if we stop building high school football stadiums that NFL teams would envy.

No doubt, but you’d have to convince local voter they don’t need them, since they’re the ones voting on those bonds. Still can’t believe how much the 1a school I attended spent on the new stadium; pretty ridiculous.

A bit overstated, gator. LOL.

I've been to the new stadium in Allen, and it was pretty impressive. Considering the HS has over 5000 students, the facilities will be in great demand.

I live in the Coppell ISD, and about half of our local taxes go to "poorer" districts throughout the state. To make up for it, we get nickeled and dimed to death on activity fees and "write a check" campaigns to offset some of that.
