As some of you may know, Andre Cokinos has been working on the petition proposing to change the way our school board members are elected. In short, the board would be set up much like our city council. Instead of seven board members, there would be five board members and two "at-large" board members.
Please email lizcokinos@gt.rr.com to find out how to sign this petition or if you would like to take petition sheets out to get signatures.
We have to take charge and make a change!
We need 12,000 signatures total and anyone who signs must be a registered voter within the Beaumont Independent School District.
This is NOT just a Sallie Curtis deal. This should be a concern to every taxpayer within our school district, whether or not their children attend public schools. If we want Beaumont to fluorish and attract new residents, then our school district must be well represented. Feel free to pass this along to anyone you think would be interested!
Let's show our children that WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!

If you get too vulgar, I'll have to delete you. It's a "family"-ish blog after all. But otherwise. Say what ya feel! That's what this is for!
