This is a great way to continue to fund building and renovation projects without increasing taxes. Timing is the key. Consider the community s sentiment regarding your district s schools, and use it to your advantage. If tearing down a historic building would be emotionally painful for the community, consider renovating it even though it might be more expensive. Have non-school board members sell the community.
People expect school board members to support a bond issue.
After all, it s their job. Sometimes non-school board members appear more credible. Let people do their jobs, but be willing to help regardless of whether a task is in your job description. Update people weekly or even daily if necessary. Communicate, communicate, communicate.
