We’re trying to start a productive conversation about the current state of Eanes Independent School District. Our hope is to find common ground as parents and leaders by discussing the history of EISD, the merits of leadership decisions happening right now, and the change in the district’s stated mission that could hold sway over its future. This conversation is vital because, like all parents, we want our children to grow as individuals, learn in a culture of excellence, and remain safe while doing it. EISD has delivered on all of these promises in the past, and now we must work hard to preserve it for our kids. No matter your stance on the issues, please join the conversation and believe in Eanes!

Building Community Trust
There are many parents in our community that do not feel seen, heard or included. I intend to change that dynamic and bring people together like I have done over the past 2 years with this podcast. Viewpoints from all sides on all issues. Unafraid to communicate and a natural curiosity in what taxpayers, parents, teachers and students want to share. The current board of trustees must do a much better job to regain the lost trust in our community. I will lead that effort as your new trustee.

Are You Voting for the Largest School Bond in Eanes ISD History? $131.4 Million
Join Aaron as he explores and unwraps the 2023 mega-BOND proposal made up of 3 propositions - A, B and C along with the help of Eanes' CFO Chris Scott and Asst. Superintendent Jeremy Trimble. Rising property values have inflated EISD property tax coffers, helping the district to retire the 2019 $80M Bond early - but just as tax relief is in sight the school board sends another bond to the voters using the same tax rate. What's in the Bond? Why three propositions? What happens to our children if the bonds don't pass?
