Need to improve working conditions. More benefits for low salaried workers. Buildings are in great need of repair. The roofs are leaking, air conditioning doesn't work, and there are asbestos in old schools. Perhaps local contractors can make repairs cheaper and faster.
Custodial staff needs to wear uniforms.
Austin H.S. needs a facelift. Have facilities open to children who arrive at school early because their parents have to work. The school district accepted a donation of the gas company building located downtown. This building was very old, probably dilapidated, and must have cost the district a large amount to bring it up to par. Also, there was an expense of moving people out of their old office and into the gas building.
