Gochoel, Jr. Candidate for: Democrat and Republican Dallas School Board Q: What do you feel are the most important issues facing the Dallas School District at this time? How will you address these issues? A: Funding - all school dis- tricts have lost revenue from the state as a byproduct of utility deregulation and the Public Util- ity Realty Tax program. I be- lieve that the district should evaluate its options under ACT 50 of 1998 (the Taxpayers Local Control Act) which allows school districts to lessen their reliance on property taxes. David James Usavage Candidate for: Democratic and Republican Dallas School Director Q: What do you feel are the most important issues facing the Dallas School District at this time? How will you address these issues? A: The most important issues facing the district _ include ensuring the safety of our students and ] staff, finding new sources of revenue which will pro- ongoing issue. Better commu- nication and respecting oth- ers must be a focal point along with bet- ter safety mea- sures. To con- A tinue to be fis- cally responsible with the school districts finances especially since we are in the middle of major building projects. Construction - the need for renovations i coupled with | the desire to | modernize fa- %§ cilities and add new features, demands a very prudent and long-term plan. The district hired an architect to develop a master plan. I would work very diligently to see that this plan is implemented in a manner and time-frame that prevents expen- ditures from outpacing re- sources and forcing the need for significant hikes in property tax- vide relief to the over burdened tax payers, and maintaining an already successful academic program.
