Public commenters urge voter outreach, scrutiny of property taxes and recommend Friday for four-day week
Summary
During public comment at the Feb. 2 Whitney ISD meeting, residents urged voter engagement for local elections, focused attention on property taxes, and one speaker argued Friday would be a better day than Monday if the district adopts a four-day school week.
Several community members used the public comment period to discuss elections, property taxes and the four‑day school calendar. Amy Teal encouraged residents to check election information and said there will be a "Meet and Greet at the local library for the upcoming March Election." Jason Sneed urged citizens to "take a good look at the Elections on property taxes." Thomas St. Peter addressed the calendar debate, saying Friday "would be a better choice by statics for the day to be chosen instead of Monday’s."
The board accepted the public comments as part of the meeting record; the minutes do not show board responses or a formal agenda action tied to these remarks. Trustees did not take immediate action on scheduling a four‑day week at this meeting.
