Open Letter on Centennial School Controversy in Washington ISD
The Citizen's Committee denounces the school board's handling of Centennial School and urges voters to reject the current board in next Monday's election. They challenge motives, cite Eckland's report, and claim safety facts favor keeping Centennial with proper upkeep. They advocate turnout to defeat bond plans and support new board members Hoice, Ahrens, and Porter while urging a public viewing this Saturday.
