Academies used as political pawn

By SESHADRI KUMAR Academies in Fort Bend ISD have become an issue in the current elections to the school board.

In previous elections some parents joined to “save the acadmies.” Now, there is a group calling for disbanding the academies.

At a candidates forum hosted by the Fort Bend County Tea party and Sugar Land Tea Party, the panel asked the candidates to justify the continuation of special academies that benefit a few, select students and costs a few million of dollars. What does one get out of these courses, the candidates were asked. The suggestion was that academies were a drain on taxpayers and not a wise expenditure of tax dollars.

Candidate for Position 1, Ramesh Cherivirala, participated in the forum via Skype as he was away in California.

A strong votary of academies (as his son is an academy

Garden of the Month

student and was invited to the Google headquarters,) Cherivirala said he strongly supported academies. The district has sought to reduce the transportation costs from $2.2 million in the past to $1. 2 million, he said.

If a chemistry teacher equipped to teach advanced level courses is needed, it is not feasible to have such teachers in all campuses. Instead, students from various schools can get the benefit by having one teacher in the academy, he said.

Academies are not broken and need no fixes. Academies are great addition to FBISD, he said.

(Cherivirala actively campaigned as a parent for saving the academies in the past and continues to defend the program. And probably, that is why it has become an election issue.)

Jason Burdine, who is also seeking Position 1, said he did

not support the academies. He questioned the fairness of having the program, while there are other students who do not get adequate education. Burdine said he would support the special program for all students, not only to academy students.

The other candidates for Position 1, Qaiser Imam and C.J. Udoagwu did not attend the forum.

All the candidates did not face the same questions as they differed for each position.

However, others too gave their opinion.

K. P. George, candidate for Position 5, also supported academies as one of his children attended the medical science academy at Hightower High School.

George said he sensed “an anti-academy” sentiment in the room.

Another Position 5 candidate Kris Allfrey said academies and career ready programs are

same, but the academies gave rise to an elitist mindset. The system has been set up poorly, he said. The problem is with the system, not with the academies, Allfrey said.

Incumbent Position 5 Trustee Patsy Taylor did not attend the forum.

Position 4 Trustee Bruce Albright said academies should be expanded to tie in new career and technical courses. Programs that work well should be continued and those that do not should be dropped, Albright said. The board is working on that issue now, he said.

Position 4 candidate Kristin Tossin said she supported both academies and career and technical courses.

Position 4 candidate Deron Harrington said academies should be inside the college readiness program and FBISD is way behind in this area.

Instead of being pro or antiSee ACADEMIES, Page 3

Grand Parkway Toll Road now open The Grand Parkway Toll Road between U.S. 59 South and I-10 in Fort Bend County is now open.

Fort Bend County Commissioners Court and the Toll Road Authority held a formal ribbon cutting ceremony on April 11.

The project has nine new overpasses and bridges along with approximately 8 miles of new main lane pavement to Segment “D” of the Grand Parkway. The project includes seven tolling locations at key overpasses.

Travel on the existing lanes

through the signalized intersections will remain a free option.

Travel time between U.S. 59 and I-10 has been reduced by nearly half and it takes about 20 minutes.

One can travel up to U.S. 290 from U.S. 59 south on the Grand Parkway.

FBGPTRA has determined that some customers with accounts in good standing, at the time of the toll transaction, had their transaction classified as a violation in error and subsequently toll violation notices

were issued “We apologize to all of our customers in good standing who may have been impacted by this issue,” the toll road authority said in its website.

“FBGPTRA is working diligently to resolve the technical problem and take corrective measures for our customers.

Customers who believe they received an unwarranted toll violation notice should immediately contact our customer support center at 855-9992024 for assistance.”

The Fort Bend ISD Board of Trustees on April 7 approved staffing and compensation recommendations for the 20142015 budget.

The board increased the starting salary for teachers to $50,000 and a percentage increase on the teacher pay scale ranging from 4% to 8.6% to become more competitive overall and to address high turnover with teachers with 10 or less years of experience.

The recommendations are based on the Board’s Core Be-

liefs & Commitments, achieving Board-adopted goals and priorities and a long range financial forecast that substantiates sustainability. The recommendations balance these objectives, while being good stewards of taxpayer funds.

The Board approved a salary increase for non-teacher salaries that will be 4% of their respective mid-point for the 2014-2015 school year.

As a result of a recent Texas Association of School Boards salary study, the Board approved an adjustment of many of the District’s stipends for 2014-2015.

Bilingual stipends will increase from $3,000 to $4,000.

Many other academic, fine arts and athletics stipends will increase from $50 to $1,080 per year.

The board approved early commitment incentives for campus professionals in hard to fill positions to assist with recruiting efforts. The incentive will be $1,000 for new campus professionals and an additional $1,000 for certified math and science teachers.

Those who commit and sign a contract before June will be eligible.

•The 459.5 new positions

for the 2014-2015 fiscal year reflect the district’s continued growth, board adopted goals with the largest portion of the newest positions designated for growth and smaller class sizes. The positions also include additional campus staffing for Special Education, Fine Arts, English as a Second Language, Online Learning, Counselors, Campus Compliance Coordinators, Nurses, Police Officers, Assistant Principals, Bookkeepers, and Receptionists.

•The new positions include: 379.5 at the campus level – 242.5 new teachers and 137 campus support staff. The support staff positions include counselors, nurses & LVNs, police officers, assistant principals & secretaries, campusbased IT technicians, receptionists and bookkeepers.

•The 57 non-campus positions are requested to support the reorganization of Curriculum & Instruction, Technology, Operations, Business & Finance, Community Relations and Administration.

•New federally funded positions include 23 campus and non-campus positions that are for child nutrition and special education positions.

Tip of the Spear prepares care packages for troops

Tip of the Spear has good things to report. Some of its adopted platoons have returned home. The organization has adopted newly deployed combat platoons and Special Forces units replacing those who have come home.

One of the volunteer “Boots on the Ground” groups, Quail Valley Exchange Club, coordinated an epic packing for 166 Marines and Sailors just deployed to Afghanistan. They packed 140 care packages filled with specially requested items from our troops still down range.

It is important to emphasize that the 166 Marines and Sailors just deployed to Afghanistan are in an “isolated” area where they have limited access to supplies. This is typical of all the “adopted” troops that Tip of the Spear sends packages to on a monthly basis.

NEWS Mail in ballots on the rise

By BARABARA FULENWIDER Even though early voting at polling places in Fort Bend County doesn’t start until Monday, April 28, a large number of folks 65 and over have voted early on a paper ballot and mailed it in.

“Ballot by mail is very heavy for a May election due to a change in the statute. This is the first year in which someone can apply for a ballot by mail and request it for all voting dates so it comes automatically with every election,” said John Oldham, Fort Bend County elections administrator.

Oldham said this year his office personnel mailed out 1,079 paper ballots to Missouri City’s older voters who requested them and 720 total to older Sugar Land voters.

A year ago, he said, his office mailed a total of 971 in the entire county.

“Overall, we have four to five times as many ballots by mail sent out,” Oldham said.

“It may skew the numbers a little bit in favor of people over 65. If you have 250 ballots returned it may increase the

participation rate among those over 65 relative to the rest of the population.”

“We’ve not been flooded for ballots by mail but we still have a lot more ballots out than we normally would. I think a 50 percent return rate will be good.

We’ve not had a huge amount of interest in this election,” said Oldham, who added that his office has not gotten many phone calls or inquiries regarding it.

There are no polling places open in the county right now but there will be two weeks from Monday and they will be open for 10 days.

“Early voting,” Oldham said, “is the biggest cost of the election.

Even though Oldham’s office is not “doing all the elections in the county,” he said, “Ours is centered around Fort Bend ISD and Stafford MSD. We will have 18 early voting sights throughout the county” but none in southwestern Fort Bend.

More and more people are voting early and especially as the population ages. “We’ve had 70 percent of the total

Organ Donor Awareness Month at HMSL Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is honoring all organ donors and organ recipients during Organ Donor Awareness Month with green lighting on the front of the hospital building throughout the month of April.

Organ Donor Awareness Month occurs every April as a way to encourage the public to become organ, eye and tissue donors and to celebrate those people who have been given a second chance at life through organ donation. Every 18 minutes someone dies in the United States waiting for an organ.

“We at Houston Methodist strongly believe in the gift of life and this is just a small way we can show our support for organ donation and transplantation,” said Chris Siebenaler, CEO at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital.

“More than 120,000 Americans, including 13,000 Texans, are currently awaiting organs. More than 3,300 of those are in the Houston area,” said Dr. Ashish Saharia, transplant and general surgeon on staff at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital. “Any way we can bring awareness to the importance of organ donation is something we are happy to do.”

In addition, tables will be set up at the hospital throughout the month that will allow the public to pick up materials and talk to experts to learn more about organ donation and transplantation.

vote cast early in the past two presidential elections,” Oldham said.

It’s a good thing because he said there’s no way “we could handle more than 70,000 people voting at the polls in one day. We certainly couldn’t handle 270,000.

“To do that would cost three time what it does now. If Texas ever did away with early voting, Fort Bend County would have to spend $1.5 million just to add the equipment needed to double the number of polling locations, if we could find them,” the elections administrator said.

Right now, he said, there’s a big push on nationwide to eliminate voting in public schools because of the dangers it can pose to children.

One of Oldham’s biggest problems now is finding polling places with adequate parking. “We currently use a mix of public and private polling places.”

Voter turnout in 2009 was 4.4 percent countywide; in 2011 it was 6.4 percent; in 2012, 5.16 percent countywide, and in

Academy From Page 1 academy, the discussion should focus on using the flexibility offered by the legislature under HB 5 which lets the school district design the courses, Harrington said. He said the district should offer certification and college ready programs.

According to FBISD, “Academies are personalized, small learning communities that function within a larger high school with a mixture of career and academic classes offered to students. Enrollment of approximately 400 students is eventually anticipated for each academy. Students attending academies generally take more advanced courses in their areas of specialization and have the opportunity to earn college credit. High school academies are in digital media, global studies, math and science, international business & marketing, engineering and health sciences.”

Answering another question, Burdine said he was running

for the office because of his commitment to volunteerism and education. Keeping local control over education is important, Buridne said.

Cherivirala said he wanted to ensure that children learned to their fullest potential, and that teachers were given adequate resources. Because of his experience in the financial industry, he could spend tax dollars wisely and will be a good guardian of public money, he said.

The likely ‘megabond’ issue and fiscal responsibility figured in the discussion.

Allfrey faulted the previous board and administration for not keeping up with maintenance of school buildings. As news schools will be needed, Allfrey said the district should not bend to developers or special interests.

George said he will be fiscally responsible. As a small businessman, he will not spend the money that he does not have.

Real estate and infrastructure are important, he said.

Harrington said the board is

currently lacking proper financial information. The financial package that the board gets in an Excel spreadsheets is deficient and they are ripe for error, Harrington said. He said he would take the complicated finances and make them simple.

Also, special interests will pull the board in every direction possible. The board should rip apart the data provided by the administration and scrutinize, he said.

Burdine said with his experienced eyes, he will look at the bond proposal line by line.

While he supported a longterm plan, he will not support every suggestion made by the consultants.

Tossin said she would not have voted for the $18 million iPads, which was a waste. She also said she would support term limits for board members.

Harrington too supported term limits, two to 4 terms.

Special education and mental health issues are not the same and many with mental health issues are placed in special education, Tossin said.

“We are over-identifying kids and spending more money,” she said. Teachers need to be trained and costs could be contained if resources are brought in to the campuses, Tossin said.

One of the questions raised was if the centralized truancy court was set up as a money making machine.

Albright said the justices of the peace were overloaded with truancy cases and wanted relief. That is why a centralized court was set up and it was not for making money, he said. Fort Bend ISD has a sound, solid and concise truancy policy Albright said.

Harrington said a lot of students were referred to truancy court and it lacked a personal touch. It needs to be cleaned up and a good program is needed, he said.

Tossin said parental involvement is needed to address the truancy issue, which is a gateway crime. The district should move away from zero tolerance on truancy and deal with it on a case to case to basis.

LETTER: Red light cameras in Sugar Land To The Editor: Thank you for the update on the red light cameras (SLPD sticks to its guns on red light cameras, March 26, 2014). I’m in favor of the red light cameras, because they make sense and from what I’ve read, they help prevent accidents.

I thought Councilman Harish Jajoo’s question about increasing the yellow light interval with a corresponding reduction in the red light interval was a reasonable suggestion. The red light reduction would seem to decrease the amount of time available for pedestrians crossing the street, but I don’t know how much pedestrian traffic there is at the camera sites. Perhaps a different consultant could review that issue.

This consultant does not seem to get out much, as evidenced by comments on the vehicular countdown timers

not being used anywhere in the US and being prohibited by federal guidelines.

To see vehicular countdown timers in action, perhaps the consultant should make the short drive to Houston down Highway 90 to Main Street.

Perhaps the consultant could learn something instead of relying on insufficient knowledge.

I also believe a good consultant would have anticipated some of these questions and discussed with the city, so that a good answer could have been provided instead of a shrug of the shoulders.

Discussing out-of-scope issues is not at all uncommon in the business world of contracting and consulting. Unless there is a hidden agenda, the client would want the best solution to a high-visibility issue like red light cameras and would want to anticipate public comments and concerns.

Elementary school at Aliana To the Editor: A small group of Riverstone parents, trustee candidate Kris Allfrey, Nancy Dunham who filed a criminal complaint against Trustee Bruce Albright for alleged violation of the Open meetings Act, and trustees Dave Rosenthal and Jenney Bailey contributed to FBISD elementary school 46 in Aliana being postponed last year, after it was announced by the district it would be built by August 2014.

Now because Oakland Elementary is so crowded and the new school wasn’t built, it will be the only school in the district that will be sending next year’s 5th graders off campus to the middle school.

A new study they wanted proves the school is needed even more than a Riverstone school, which is what we’ve been saying the whole time but they didn’t believe it.

Many of us are concerned why one area (Riverstone) would have so much clout and influence on the school district, which has likely caused harm to other areas such as the northwestern part of the district, as in this case.

(FBISD Trustees Dave Rosenthal and Jenney Bailey were asked to respond to this letter. Rosenthal said it is “time to move forward.” Bailey agreed with Rosenthal.—Editor)

I was surprised when the topic of consequence for a violation was brought up.

Surely there are existing consequences for non-payment of fines for traffic violations in Sugar Land.

Why would failure to pay this type of red light violation not be subject to that same consequence?

I understand that most people don’t like to pay violations (including me), but I also thought that failure remained on the books and eventually came back to the driver when they were stopped for an additional violation. Maybe I’m wrong about that.

Finally, the comment about the people’s vote taking a back seat. Judging from the speed of traffic on the freeways and on Hiway 90, many people do not like speed limits.

I would bet that a people’s vote would eliminate speed limits or increase them to

the point of ineffectiveness.

Some people feel it’s their right to shoot fireworks on holidays, or maybe even guns.

A people’s vote might eliminate these restrictions, thus decreasing safety, both personal and fire prevention.

When a person lives in a city or a town, they give up certain rights to better protect the general public, that protection being based on common sense and experience. A people’s vote on many current laws would no doubt be detrimental to the safety of all.

With any new law that involves catching people doing something wrong, people feel outraged when they get caught. Perhaps the discussion needs to be had to make the fining process more palatable from a public relations view.

Candidate clarifies In a report titled, “Candidates for Missouri City City Council explain stand on issues “ published on April 9, a response from Mayoral candidate Noel Pinnock was cut due to space. The answer is given here in full: Yes, my 25 years of experience in Public Management and advance training in the public management industry has not only prepared me for this role but it has also provided me a variety of perspectives that will enable me to be more open-minded, competent, motivated, cooperative, and creative in executing my role as mayor in accordance to section 3.05 of Missouri City’s Home Rule Charter. My role as the city’s legislative facilitator is not to create policy but to see that all ordinances, bylaws, motions and resolutions of the council are faithfully obeyed and enforced. It is very important to let the voters know that I will not be paid to perform my role as mayor, it is a volunteer role.

AUTOMOBILE: Lexus RX350

By BARBARA FULENWIDER There’s no question that Lexus created the blueprint for the luxury crossover utility vehicle 15 years ago with the original RX models. The big difference the RX made 15 years ago is it was the first utility vehicle built like a sedan and is why it rides and drives very differently from the utility vehicles that are built like trucks.

The formula Lexus used 15 years ago is still standard operating procedure today and is why the 2014 RX 350 maintains its segment leadership.

The 2013 model year brought some design changes and new signature spindle grille and more driving pleasure with the RX 350 F SPORT model.

The RX 350 continues in front-wheel drive and allweather drive models, along with the F SPORT exclusively with all-weather drive. Each is powered by the 3.5-liter dual overhead cam V6 engine that makes 270 horsepower.

The standard model uses a six-speed automatic transmission.

The RX F SPORT is the first RX equipped with an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission and it rides on twist-spoke 19-inch

wheels and F SPORT tuned suspension. The eight-speed transmission makes the RX 350 F SPORT more responsive and boosts EPA highway fuel economy from 24 mpg to 26 mpg.

Inside the F SPORT interior is black leather accented by contrasting silver stitching, ebony bird’s-eye maple wood trim, black headliner and aluminum pedals and footrest.

The F SPORT includes all standard features plus those from the Premium and Comfort Packages. They include a perforated leather-trimmed interior, power moonroof, memory system for the driver’s seat, outside mirrors and tilt/telescoping steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, High-Intensity Discharge headlamps and rain-sensing wipers.

Convenience and ease of use make another leap in the 2014 Lexus RX 350 with the addition of available Siri Eyes Free Mode technology licensed from Apple. Compatible with the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 models forward, Siri lets you call contacts, select and play music from iTunes, get turn-by-turn navigation through Siri and Apple maps and more.

The RX 350 also includes a premium audio system as standard equipment. The nine-speaker system offers a CD player, SiriusXM Satellite Radio capability with a trial subscription, Bluetooth audio streaming and USB/ iPod control.

The Display Audio/Rear Backup Camera Package upgrades the audio system to 12 speakers. For the ultimate in mobile sound, Lexus exclusively offers Mark Levinson audio systems with 15-speakers and 330 watts.

The standard SmartAccess system combines push-button starting and touch-sensitive exterior door handles. When the driver turns off the ignition, the seat automatically slides back two inches while the power tilt/telescoping steering wheel tilts upward and slides forward to ease exit. The next time the driver is seated and pushes the “On” button, the seat and steering wheel return to their preset positions automatically.

The optional Pre-Collision System with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses millimeter-wave radar to measure and help maintain a pre-set following distance from a vehicle traveling directly ahead.

If a collision is imminent the system preemptively retracts front seat belts and pre-initializes brake assist to increase braking the instant the driver depresses the pedal.

Using high-intensity LEDs for high contrast and readability, the available Heads Up Display projects high-contrast white figures onto the wind-

shield for speed, navigation and audio settings.

Rear-seat passengers have nearly 37 inches of legroom.

The optional rear-seat entertainment system can display two separate videos on two seven-inch screens on each front seatback. Passengers can listen to audio through the wireless headphones.

The Lexus RX 350 fivedoor F SPORT retails for $47,450. Options on the test drive, which was loaded, increased the price to $50,725.

There just isn’t anything not to like about the Lexus RX. It has always been a honey of a utility vehicle and it still is.

FCCA hosts meeting on “Turfs & trees” Mature tree-lined streets with thick leafy canopies have become synonymous with First Colony. While aesthetically pleasing, the maturation of these hardwoods has presented First Colony Community Association (FCCA) with many maintenance challenges.

Over the past several years, FCCA has executed a number of projects in an attempt to find the best solution to the issues created by the abundant mature hardwoods in the right of ways of First Colony.

FCCA’s goal is to preserve the signature appearance, while ensuring the health and longevity of the turf and trees in First Colony.

The latest FCCA effort has been an extensive review of

our urban forest by Dr. W. Todd Watson PhD, Consulting Arborist.

Dr. Watson made several recommendations to address our current maintenance challenges in these areas while maintaining the proper appearance. The report was then reviewed by another independent certified arborist, Mr. Jason B. Jesko, and he concurs with Dr. Watson’s report. The FCCA Board has approved moving forward with implementing Dr. Watson’s recommendations starting with a test area within the Edgewater subdivision of First Colony.

The project is tentatively planned to begin in August of 2014.

In an effort to educate our members about the history

of First Colony’s urban forest, and the test project, Dr. W. Todd Watson will speak at a meeting on Tuesday, April 29, 2014. The meeting will be held at the St. Laurence Catholic Church Parish Hall located at 3100 Sweetwater Blvd (corner of Austin Parkway and Sweetwater Blvd.) from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Homeowners will have an opportunity to ask questions.

Additional meetings will be held in June and July focused exclusively on the turf and tree test project. Information regarding the project and upcoming meetings can be obtained on website at www.firstcolony.org under Operations or by contacting the FCCA Operations Department at 281-634-9500

Walker Station Elementary student FILM REVIEW: Draft Day becomes “Superintendent for the Day” Tension and suspense. A lot

Annie Phan makes die-cut letters of her name in the Teacher Center. She is with Teacher Center Clerk Merilee Korenek, left, Carole Brown, and FBISD Superintendent Charles Dupre.

of both. The strain and pressure of draft day of the NFL gnaws on the nerves of everyone involved.

The story is based on the interaction and decision-making process of the Cleveland Browns for the 2014 draft.

The back room deals, swapping first-round picks, trashtalking, threats, and the anticipation of the fans who believe “you’d better win now” attitude is immense. And don’t screw up the Number One pick.

Even though the Browns are the perspective of this movie, we Texan fans in Houston certainly understand the mentality of “You better not make a mistake with our number one pick” as a brutal reality.

The real NFL draft of 2014 is set to begin on May 8th and it will be a huge media event not unlike the draft day portrayed in this film. Since I’ve never had the privilege to work behind the scenes during an NFL draft, this is as close I’ll ever come to the real thing.

Note to the Texans: I’m available.

The script for this account was so well-written that the

within our community so that they know that we care about education and that they can trust us to do all we can to support our students,” said Dr. Dupre.

When Annie returned to her own classroom, everyone cheered, “Welcome back, Annie!” Her classmates, many of whom viewed her as a celebrity, were curious to hear about her experience as “Superintendent for a Day.” She shared details about her experience, including Dr. Dupre’s yodeling pickle story, and joined Dr. Dupre in signing autographs at her classmates’ request. Even though Annie enjoyed being “Superintendent for the Day,” she still plans on becoming a psychologist when she grows up.

12-year-old kid sitting next to me hollered in a stage whisper “don’t do it” at a time when General Manager Sonny Weaver (Kevin Costner) was in the process of making a crucial trade.

The opening scenes begin the countdown of the clock (repeatedly on the screen) to the announcement by the Commissioner of the first pick.

The brain trust of the Cleveland Browns consists of Coach Penn (Dennis Leary), Ali the capologist (Jennifer Garner) and owner Anthony Molina (Frank Langella).

These four characters are constantly in conflict with each other which enhances the importance and anxiety of making the smart choices for the future of a NFL football team. All 32 teams are pushing and shoving to “do what’s best for my team.”

This weighty reality was superbly shaped by Director Ivan “Ghostbusters” Reitman.

This movie felt like I was having the unique opportunity to participate behind the scenes in the no smoking, smokefilled rooms, but I know this

is a Hollywood rendition.

But that’s as close as I’ll ever come to being a part of pulling the trigger on the number one pick in a NFL draft. Thanks, Ivan; I enjoyed it. You also got the most from your actors.

Reitman’s (age 67) use of a split screen of the characters talking on cell phones and making deals and spreading gossip was extremely effective and exciting.

I anticipate that the split screen-cell phone formula will become routine then directors will be forced to find a new, better tool.

Many athletes and sports commentators appear as themselves, but the one athlete who was actually cast as a character which required acting was our own Adrian Foster, star running back for the Houston Texans. Who knew he could act? Well done, Adrian.

If you even have a hint that this subject matter would be appealing, then this is the movie for you. Rock ‘n Roll.
