School District Pressured Staff to Support $992 Million Bond
by Brandon Waltens
More than 100 local districts have placed a combined $16 billion in property tax-backed debt on the May 7 ballot.
In one San Antonio-area school district, employees are being pressured and intimidated into supporting a massive $992 million bond.
According to leaked emails obtained by Corey DeAngelis, the national director of research at the American Federation for Children, a principal at a Northside ISD elementary school emailed teachers last month ahead of early voting, telling them that “all employees will be expected [by the superintendent] to vote for this Bond.”
