Students at China Spring ISD begin new school year as leaders plan for the future
Students return to the classroom and school staff prepare for financial needs of the district
WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Greeted by rain and waves from school staff, students in China Spring returned to class kicking off the start of a new school year.
As students begin their studies, Superintendent Marc Faulkner is already preparing for the financial needs of the district.
He’s hopeful a VATRE, or voter approval tax rate election. will be accepted. The district is asking for a $0.06 increase to help it raise new revenue.
Over the summer, a survey was complete to find out what stakeholders value.
“They want us to continue to try to attract and retain high quality teachers and be competitive with that pay. They want us to keep class sizes manageable- there’s some districts that are having 35 to 36 kids to a class which is huge and ours is not that but we’ll be growing to that at some point if we don’t do something now,” Superintendent Faulkner said.
A third meeting to go over results of the survey will be held on August 12th.
