TEXANS NEED YOUR HELP — FILE TASA/TASB FORMS

By Donna Garner

3.29.13

Texans, we need your help.  Tom Fabry is a fiscally responsible citizen who is working with other like-minded people to file Public Information Requests with their local school districts to calculate how many of our taxpayers’ dollars are going to TASA (Texas Association of School Administrators) and TASB (Texas Association of School Boards).

TASA and TASB have been some of the main Texas organizations that have pushed the Type #2 philosophy of education into our public schools, including CSCOPE.  TASA/TASB have labeled their Type #2 dogma the “Visioning Institute.”

So far, Tom and his team have tabulated the TASA/TASB PIR results for 15 school districts; and the amount is well over a million dollars!  However, he needs to gather the PIR’s from the rest of the 1,200+ school districts across Texas. This is where you can help.

Tom has set up a template and a database for tabulating and analyzing the results, but he needs people throughout Texas to file a PIR with their local school district.

Please just cut/copy/paste the suggested PIR wording below, send it to your local school district, and send the results to Tom Fabry at tcfabry@yahoo.com.  His phone number is 817-721-6701 if you have any questions.  Thank you for taking a positive step to change the direction of our Texas public schools:
