Meanwhile in Lafayette, La. we have kids in portable buildings. Our state is so fricked.
Oh no! The building that they learn in can be moved? The horror! If they used the funds they already get correctly maybe they wouldn't have portable buildings. Instead the only solutions they can come up with is fleecing the tax payers for more money.

I do like telling people who aren't from DFW the story of Allen's stadium.

because they should have given that 70mil to north forest ISD duh.
North Forest ISD was closed by the state some years back, it's now part of Houston ISD.

McKinney is probably the extreme but schools like that are common in the burbs across Texas.
My wife is opening opening a new elementary school in Bridgeland (Cypress, TX) next year. It is absolutely amazing. It is also a part of an education complex which will also have a middle school and Bridgeland HS.
This is an elementary school............There supposedly going to be technology out the wazoo.

McKinney ISD also has (currently) three high schools in the district (McKinney, North, Boyd).
So they need a facility that can handle use multiple times a week.
Hopefully they aren't using the same bunch that gave us the Allen disaster.

And we do it really fricking well.
The pissing match between Frisco/Plano/Allen/McKinney has been great for the consumers/homeowners/students living here.

It probably will given the popularity of high school football in that part of the country. Maybe it just rubs me the wrong way because I come from a place where that number is a huge chunk of the school district's total operating budget.

If my local school board wants to impose a tax on me, I would hope it's for the construction of new schools or renovations of old ones, not to build a football stadium.
The people of that community voted for the stadium and the taxes to pay for it.
That is why places like McKinney TX, doesn't have problems like BR and NO with educated middle class people moving to other cities for a better life.

The primary purpose of a high school is to educate its students. I don't think spending $70 million on a football stadium is the proper use of taxpayer funds, regardless of whether or not the local citizens voted on it. To me it shows a fundamental lack of prioritizing educational commitments.
All of the McKinneu ISD high schools rank in the top 3% in the country.

Yeah, it's amazing what happens when you give local people local control over their kids' school. People aren't really opposed to taxation if they see a return on their investment.

Not sure where I stand on this. Communities have the right to tax themselves, but I also don't value sports to this extreme.

I'm sitting in McKinney as we speak.
