Letters to the editor - 1

Many of the citizens of Alvin have written letters to the editors of the local newspapers favoring the Alvin ISD Bond and encouraging everyone to vote in favor of this bond. We'll be publishing a few of them here, in case you missed them.

October 4, 2013

Dear Editor,

The Alvin Independent School District has almost 20,000 reasons for wanting the best educational programs and facilities – our children. Each of these 20,000 children these is our future and our most important investment. On November 5, 2013 voters in the Alvin ISD will consider a bond proposal designed to address the needs of our schools through new construction, expansion, and renovation.

            The district has seen dramatic increases in student enrollment in the past five years, causing severe overcrowding and the use of numerous portable buildings at almost every campus. The time has come to make improvements so that Alvin ISD can still provide the high-quality education for which it has long been noted. 

Approval of this bond issue is a win-win situation for the district.    The kids win - we win - and Alvin ISD can continue to sustain the outstanding reputation that we have long enjoyed. I am a proud product of Alvin ISD and wish for every child in Alvin ISD to have the same opportunity that I had. Please vote YES on Nov. 5 or during early voting which begins Oct. 21 and runs through Nov. 1.

Thanks,

Chad Gormly
