FBISD Administration & BOT Continue To Point The Finger At The State For Budget Woes-

As the district elections approach, Tim Jenney and the BOT continue to point their collective fingers at the state legislature in an attempt to defer blame for the current (3rd consecutive RECORD) budget deficit. Much of which has been impacted by increased spending, record bond debt (and service on that debt) which this board approved, under Jenney, in 2007.
