Aspiring State Legislators Detail Their Finances • Coppell Incumbents Aim to Keep Their Seats • Irving Voters May Consider Replacing City Hall • DART’s Silver Line Project Keeps Chugging Along
As the adage goes “follow the money”. Your financial report is fascinating. Thank you for all the information.
Regarding school chaplains, I am concerned about the entanglement of church and state. I hate to write “in my day” but “in my day”, counselors helped students and families in need of social intervention, a much better solution in my opinion.
HI Dan! Really appreciate the quality of this newsletter! I didn't realize there would be 4 trains an hour crossing Beltline! Would you be able to find out how loud the Silver Line trains are (guessing somewhere in between cars and freight trains), and if they plan on blowing a whistle when they cross East Belt Line Road? I live near Bethel School in Northlake Woodlands and hear the freight trains at night.
Also, when CISD is voting Monday on whether to hire chaplains for each campus, will they consider all the different faiths represented in the diverse district?
At one time, there was a memo attached to Monday’s agenda that said the administration was recommending the trustees vote to not adopt a policy authorizing chaplains. By the time I took a second look at the agenda, that attachment was gone.
I hope our school board remembers there should be a separation of church and state! If they don’t, there is going to be controversy on which religious sects may be in the schools and the chaplains’ qualifications!

Chaplains??
Some people aren’t so fond of the separation of church and state.
Thanks-- looking forward to your coverage as always.
