        CEEDS is a group of parents, teachers, and taxpayers who joined together to fight Dripping Springs ISD's wasteful and misguided 2018 Bond—and to once again make students and teachers, instead of special interests, our District's top priority.

         

        Since then, our fight for greater transparency, increased accountability, and more responsible stewardship of our tax dollars by DSISD's School Board continues.

         

        In the 2020 and 2021 School Board Elections, we mobilized our community's fiscal responsibility and good government voters in support of victorious "Change" candidates.

         

        And in the November 2022 DSISD Bond Election, we proudly organized and stood with our community's silent majority of 10,000 voters and taxpayers in DEFEATING ALL THREE (3) of DSISD's Dumpster Fire Bond Propositions, and their nearly $1 BILLION in New Bond Debt Obligations!

         

        This is a long fight against powerful and deep-pocketed special interests, and our small group of community volunteers need your support!

        CEEDS is a group of parents, teachers, and taxpayers who joined together to fight Dripping Springs ISD's wasteful and misguided 2018 Bond—and to once again make students and teachers, instead of special interests, our District's top priority.

         

        To protect the best interests of our children, our community, and to stop millions of dollars in frivolous and extravagant expenditures, we battled the 2018 Bond's illegitimate election in court. While DSISD ultimately prevailed through loopholes, legal maneuver, and spending nearly $500,000 on at least a half-dozen high-priced San Antonio and Austin attorneys, our fight for greater transparency, increased accountability, and more responsible stewardship of our tax dollars by DSISD's School Board continues.

         

        DSISD is planning another, possibly $400 million, Bond for 2022. According to data from the Texas Comptroller, our District—following the passage of the 2018 Bond—already has more per-student tax-supported debt than 95% of school districts in the entire State of Texas. Should the possible $400 million 2021 or 2022 Bond pass, DSISD will have total debt obligations, including interest, of over $1 billion—which will exceed $100,000 in bond debt principal, not including interest, per student.

        We believe that performance in the classroom should be our School District's top priority. We also believe that hard-working families and seniors on fixed incomes should not fear being taxed out of their homes.

         

        That's why we are are voting "No" on Dripping Springs $132 million bond, Proposition A, on Saturday, May 5, 2018.

         

        We encourage you to learn the truth about this Bond, and ask that you join us in demanding greater transparency, increased accountability, and more responsible stewardship of our tax dollars by our School Board.

        Please also consider making an investment, in any amount, today. Your financial support is critical for us to spread our message—that this Bond is Bad for Our Schools and Bad for Our Community.
