May 17, 2018 – TheHouston IndependentSchool District is begin-ning to plan for a possibleMay 2019 bond referen-dum as part of a strategiccapital plan designed tor e b u i l d s c h o o l s a n dstrengthen security atcampuses throughout thedistrict.

Board of Educationtrustees were briefed attheir May 17 workshopabout the recommendationcurrently under consider-ation for the possible ref-erendum. It places a strongemphasis on safety and se-curity.

“The safety and securi-ty of our students and staffis absolutely paramount,which is why we believe itshould play a major role inany potential bond pro-gram going forward,”HISD Chief Operating Of-ficer Brian Busby said.“Our students and teach-ers need and deserve safe,secure learning environ-ments that allow them tothrive. Our goal is to pro-vide that to them.”

HISD consulted with

HISD planning for possible May 2019 bondreferendum to strengthen security across district

Rice & Gardner Consult-ants and PBK architects,which were tasked with re-viewing facility needs andstudent growth data, aswell as other data relatedto planning for the dis-trict’s Capital Improve-ment Plan and future bondprograms.

The two consult inggroups also were taskedwith placing a strong em-phasis on safety and secu-rity, as well as energy andfacility efficiency.

HISD then developed arecommendation for a pos-sible bond referendum us-ing their feedback anddata.

The recommendation,which has a cost of $1.7 bil-lion, focuses on replacing18 schools and buildingtwo relief schools, creatingsecurity vestibules at allcampuses , upgradingbuilding automation sys-tems and district technol-ogy , replac ing schoolbuses, and expanding thedistrict’s pre-kindergartenprogram. It also includes anew CTE high school for

the southern portion of thedistrict, a replacement dis-trict stadium and field-house, and districtwideenergy efficient lightingupgrades.

New rel ief schoolswould be strategicallydriven by student growthdata, while facility repairand replacement would bedriven by facility age andneeds, number of tempo-rary buildings on-site, andcost of maintaining exist-ing buildings.

The 18 schools slatedfor replacement are Bon-ham, Brookline, Burbank,Durkee, Elrod, Grissom,Kelso, Law, McNamara,Memorial, and Scrogginselementary schools, CageElementary School/ProjectChrysalis Middle School,T.H. Rogers School, andDeady, Key, Henry, Lani-er, and Revere middleschools.

As a next step, districtadministration plans toconduct site evaluationsfor all campuses and re-view demographic data todetermine possible design

and construction sched-ules. Trustees will be up-dated again later this year.

“I’m a big believer thatthis type of work — build-ing schools — is extremelyimportant,” HISD 2012Bond Oversight Commit-tee member Phoebe Tudorsaid during a recent com-mittee meeting. “The trackrecord for [the 2012] bondprogram and what’s beenaccomplished is so great. Ithink that should give peo-ple confidence that HISDhas the right team in place,a n d t h e y k n o w w h a tthey’re doing.”

More than 50 percent ofprojects in HISD’s voter-approved 2012 Bond Pro-gram are now finished andopen to students, and thatnumber is expected tojump to 80 percent by theend of this year. HISD hasopened six new facilitiesand three new additionssince January. Twelvemore campuses are expect-ed to open by the start ofthe 2018-2019 school year,and an additional six willfollow in January 2019.

“Words of Wisdom” werespoken by almost everyoneat last week’s ScholarshipCeremony at M. O. Camp-bell Center.

It’s a tradition to givegraduating seniors advice,that they may or may notfollow as they matriculate.

At last Monday’s event,administrators, board mem-bers, and alumni studentsall took a turn at giving thegraduates something impor-tant or inspiring to takewith them after the eveningwas over.

Retiring SuperintendentWanda Bamberg is knownfor her “words of wisdom”

often based on a book shehas been reading. This time,she envisioned with the se-niors what “Last” eventsthey had experienced thisyear, and which “Firsts” theycould look forward to next.She quipped that Last camebefore First, and to look for-ward to the future with op-timism.

President of the Educa-tion Foundation, Bill Ginder,marvelled at the success ofthe scholarship program,and how many seniors hadbeen helped with a brightfuture.

Lone Star College-NorthHarris vice president Der-

rick Manns remarked howthe students demonstratedthat success meets a chal-lenge with great results.

Alex Elizondo, a formerAEF scholarship recipientwho is now attending Hous-ton Baptist University, saidhe was optimistic for thegrads, and “I feel good foryou all.” He said to get in-volved as they go to college,but “Be and Know Yourself.”

President-elect of theAEF Richard Cantu re-counted how hard theyworked to choose the schol-arship candidates, with somany outstanding studentsapplying.

CombatingOpioid Crisis

WASHINGTON, DC– May 17, 2018 – TheHouse Energy &Commerce Committeeheld a second fullcommittee markup andpassed more than 30opioid-related bills.During the markup,Congressman Green (D-TX) introduced anamendment to twoseparate bills, whichwere both included inthe final passage of theSCREEN Act (H.R.5228) and HealthHOME Act (H.R. 5810).

The first amendmentwas added to H.R. 5228,sponsored by Rep.Frank Pallone (D-NJ).The bill would clarifythe Federal DrugAdministration’s (FDA)authority to consider adrug’s potential formisuse and abuse aspart of the approvalprocess. During aMarch legislativehearing, FDA DirectorScott Gottlieb testifiedthat the issue of opioidmisuse and abuse is oneof the Agency’s highestpriorities.

“Last year, the FDAacted when it requestedto withdrawal an opioidtreatment due to theconcern that the bene-fits associated with theproduct were out-weighed by the risks ofabuse and manipula-tion,” said Green.“Clarifying the FDA’sauthority to takepotential risks for abuseand misuse into consid-eration is an importantstep to combat theopioid crisis.”

The second amend-ment was added to H.R.5801, sponsored by Rep.Morgan Griffith (R-VA).The bill would requirestate Medicaid plans toprovide coverage for allmedication-assistedtreatment (MAT).During multiple hear-ings on the opioid crisis,Members on the Energy& Commerce Commit-tee heard from publichealth agencies andtreatment professionalsabout the importance ofmedication-assistedtreatment.

“This amendmentwould ensure thatAmericans strugglingwith opioid abuse, oranother substance usedisorder, would haveaccess to the mostappropriate MAT fortheir recovery underMedicaid,” said Green.

Today’s markup isthe second in which theEnergy & CommerceCommittee passedlegislation to combatthe opioid crisis.

AUSTIN — Texas At-torney General Ken Pax-ton last week asked twofederal agencies to movequickly to fund the state’sHealthy Texas Womenprogram.

The program was cut offfrom Medicaid funding bythe Obama administrationin 2012 after the TexasLegislature enacted a lawpreventing taxpayer mon-ey from going to abortionproviders.

In a May 7 letter to theU.S. Department of Healthand Human Services andthe Centers for Medicare &Medicaid Services, Paxtonsaid the addition of some$30 million a year in fed-eral dollars would increaseaccess to family planningand preventative healthservices for low-incomewomen across the statewho are not covered by tra-ditional Medicaid in Texas.

Paxton sent the letter atthe request of Gov. GregAbbott and on behalf of theTexas Health and HumanServices Commission. Hewrote that allowing statesto exclude providers whoperform or promote abor-tion is consistent with fed-eral policy.

Texas spends $29 billiona year on Medicaid — morethan one-fourth of thestate’s annual budget — toserve some 4.3 million peo-ple. The state allocates an-other $95 million annuallyto fund the Healthy TexasWomen program, whichhas a current enrollment of240,798 women, Paxtonnoted.

“States have discretionin implementing the Med-icaid Act, including in set-ting qualifications forproviders,” Paxton wrote.“Texas and the HealthyTexas Women programshould not be penalizedthrough the continuedwithholding of federalfunds merely because Tex-as has exercised the au-thority that federal lawhas granted to it — name-ly, the authority to refuseto be a conduit for channel-ing taxpayer funds to abor-tion providers pursuant tostate law.”

Forum honorswomen

T e x a s C o m p t r o l l e rGlenn Hegar on May 7highlighted Texas womenin the workforce by hostinga roundtable discussionwith a dozen women lead-ers who comprise the Tex-as Governor’s Commissionfor Women.

The panel was part of abriefing with the Gover-nor ’s Commission forWomen to review Gov. Ab-bott’s priorities for thecommission and to developstrategies to make Texas“the best state for women-owned businesses.”

The d iscuss ion ad-dressed topics such ashardships women face inthe workplace, womenwith families who pursuecareers, ways to movemore women into higher-

Paxton requests federalfunding for women’shealth program

paying jobs and women asentrepreneurs. The dis-cussion is part of Hegar’smulti-stop “Good for Tex-as Tour: Women in theWorkforce.”

More than 6 millionwomen held jobs in Texasin 2017 and 938,000 wom-en-owned businesses gen-e r a t e d a b o u t $ 1 3 4 . 2million in sales, but fur-ther efforts are needed toeliminate barriers to wom-en’s entrepreneurship andimprove access to top-lev-el positions, Hegar said.

May allocations aresent

Comptroller Hegar onMay 9 announced his of-fice would send cities,counties, transit systemsand special purpose taxingdistricts $861.8 million inlocal sales tax allocationsfor the month of May.

The amount is 9.4 per-cent more than was dis-tributed for the month ofMay 2017. Allocations arebased on sales made inMarch by businesses thatreport tax monthly andsales made in January,February and March byquarterly filers.

Hurricane seasoncoming

With the hurricane sea-son less than one month

away, Gov. Abbott and theTexas Department of Pub-lic Safety on May 7 urgedTexans to use HurricanePreparedness Week tolearn how to protect them-selves and their familiesfrom hurricanes and tropi-cal storms. Hurricane sea-son starts June 1 andcontinues through Nov. 30.

The DPS posted of list ofactions to take, such as:

— Assemble an emer-gency kit that includes es-s e n t i a l d o c u m e n t s ,supplies and provisions;

— Review hurricaneevacuation maps and se-lect a route;

— Plan how familymembers and pets willevacuate safely;

— Consider specialneeds for individuals withdisabilities and the elder-ly; and

— Stay informed aboutchanging weather condi-tions.

Abbott honors thefallen

Gov. Greg Abbott onMay 7 joined law enforce-ment officers from acrossthe state for the 2018 Tex-as Peace Officers Memori-al Ceremony to honorfallen Texas peace officersand their families.

During the ceremony,Abbott met with and pre-sented medals to the fami-lies of officers who died inthe line of duty. The cere-mony included the layingof a memorial wreath anda 21-gun salute.

Last year, during the85th session of the TexasLegislature, Abbott signedHouse Bill 3647, legisla-tion that established theTexas Peace Officers’ Me-morial Ceremony as an an-nual event. This year'sceremony was the first tobe conducted since the lawwas passed.

Texas crashes in whichpeople died and weren’twearing a seat belt, 57 per-cent of those happened atnight as well. It is impor-tant to wear your seat belt,day and night, to be pro-tected in the event of acrash.

Unbuckled passengersare also dangerous to oth-ers in the vehicle. In theevent of a crash, the un-buckled passenger becomea large projectile flyingaround the vehicle who caninjure or kill other occu-pants in the vehicle — in-cluding those who arebuckled up!

Here are some of themyths about seat belts:

• Vehicle type: Thereseems to be a misconcep-

tion among those whodrive and ride in pickuptrucks that their large ve-hicles will protect thembetter than other vehicleswould in a crash. The num-bers say otherwise. Na-tionally, 61 percent ofpickup truck occupantswho were killed in 2016were not buckled up.That’s compared to 42 per-cent of passenger car occu-p a n t s w h o w e r e n o twearing seat belts whenthey were killed. Regard-less of vehicle type, seatbelt use is the single mosteffective way to stay alivein a crash.

• Seating position: Toomany people wrongly be-lieve they are safe in theback seat unrestrained.

Forty-seven percent of allfront-seat passenger vehi-cle occupants killed incrashes in 2016 were un-restrained, but 57 percentof those killed in back seatswere unrestrained.

• Rural versus urbanlocations: People who livein rural areas might be-lieve that their crash expo-sure is lower, but in 2016,there were 13,732 passen-ger vehicle fatalities in ru-ral locations, compared to9,366 fatalities in urbanlocations. Out of those fa-talities, 49 percent of thosekilled in the rural locationswere not wearing theirseat belts, compared to 46percent in urban locations.

Texas A&M AgriLifeExtension Service Familyand Community HealthAgent, Alexis Cordova,from Liberty County, re-minds drivers that thisyear’s “Click It or Ticket”

Campaign is scheduled forMay 21 – June 3, which in-c ludes Memorial Dayweekend. During thistime, extra law enforce-ment will be on the roadday and night enforcingthe seat belt and child re-straint laws in an effort tosave lives. Those officersare not out to write tickets,but instead want to helpprevent the needless trag-edy of motor vehicle acci-dents.

Remember: Buckle upday and night and saveyour life — not just during“Click It or Ticket,” but ev-ery day of the year!
