If you voted YES, tell us why. Check all that apply:
I want more funding for student behavior programs
I want more funding for special education
I want more funding for career and technical education
I felt the millage would improve the learning environment for students overall
I felt the millage would make our school district more competitive
I trust ISD and local school leaders to ask for funding when and where it's needed
Other (please specify)
3.
If you voted NO, tell us why. Check all that apply:
I didn't hear about the REM request until I voted
1 mill was too much to ask
Not enough information on how the REM money would be used
Not enough information on why the REM was needed
Not enough information on how the REM money would be distributed to local schools
Too many areas of need (student behavior, special education, career & technical)
Didn't focus on the right areas of need
I'm not confident that REM money would be used appropriately
Schools should use the money they already have to address these needs and not ask for more
Other (please specify)

If you voted NO, would you have voted Yes if the REM focused on just 1 or 2 areas of need instead of 3?
