Fort Bend ISD Board Candidates Outline Goals, Vie For Union Support
by Bob Dunn, Apr 13, 2007

The campaign for two Fort Bend Independent School District board seats swung into high gear Thursday night, as candidates appeared at the season’s first public forum and vied for endorsements by the Fort Bend Employee Federation.

Three of the four candidates present – Board Position 3 incumbent Lisa Rickert and challenger Bob Broxson, and Board Position 7 challenger Noel Pinnock – answered in the affirmative to a key question posed by the 1,500-member federation, an arm of the American Federation of Teachers labor union.

The question: “Would you vote to allow FBISD employees to elect their own representatives to meet and confer with the administration on matters of policy and procedures?”

Position 7 challenger David Reitz didn’t provide a direct answer to the question, saying “I can’t tell you right now one way or the other.”
