constant while the value of your
property goes up in order to raise
additional revenue. This year,
1985, equalization boards across
the state are mandated to perform
a revaluation of property. If you
are already assessed at 100%, or
true market value, how can your
property value go up? You may
need to get acquainted with the
equalization board.
Busing of students is another
issue that requires some thought.
The length of time a student is on
a bus deserves your consideration
when the student is in elementary
school.
I also see by the “data” sheet
that GISD does not intend to use
any of the Mullin personnel. I
assume this to be true since the
Estimated Consolidated Expendi-
ture for Instructional Services is
projected to be an increase of only
$25,000.
If there are plans to utilize
Mullin teachers then the projected
expenditure is incorrect or teachers
from GISD will have to be released
to make room for them. I also
understand that there are some
over-crowded classrooms in the
GISD this year. How would this
situation be handled by the
addition of more students? What
about the pupil-teacher ratio as set
by the State? As a parent,

continuing basis from now to
eternity. I did not respond to the
article published a couple of weeks
ago with the intent of dissolving
the issue through the newspaper.
My intent was to present a few
facts relating to the issue of
consolidation and to encourage the
people of Mullin to vote in the
up-coming election.
I would like to point out that a
person’s feelings concerning this
“consolidation” movement by a
few people is not new to the
Mullin community. It was also an
issue some years ago and was also
defeated at that time. It must be
difficult for some people to
understand why a small rural
community desires to keep its
school. Really, it is quite simple.
When a community loses its school
the community eventually dries up
on the vine. After the school goes
then usually the churches and then
the businesses will close. When
this happens the community
dissolves and loses its identity.
The school is the hub of a
community since most children
participate in the activities a small
school provides. In a school the
size of Mullin, all students have grandparent, or friend of a parent,
the opportunity to participate. This I would have questions relating to

I will comment on the
“data”
that was made available to me
through the mail during the past
week. I have a question concerning
the statement “GISD Administra-
tion has stated that the additional
students from MISD can be served
with present GISD facilities,
requiring NO construction.” This
may be true, but I have recently
read in the Eagle that GISD has
employed an architect. To me,
when an architect is consulted or
employed, then there are plans for
construction or renovation. This
means that tax dollars will be
spent. There happens to be
another way to raise tax revenue
other than by raising the tax
rate—re-valuation of property. The
equalization board can and does
revalue property for the purpose of
taxation. A tax rate can remain
