Vote for Vernon Reed - Position 7
Greetings,
My name is Vernon Reed.
I truly care about our education system.
I want to work for you on the Lone Star College System Board of Trustees.
I am seeking Position 7.
I would like for Position 7 to be the people's position.
By way of my position on the Board of Trustees, Position 7 would be that truly community position that you as the community have always wanted, and I assure each of you that your voice would be heard.
I will hold and maintain an open door policy by making myself available to all concerned.
I am further seeking this position, to help expand our educational opportunities, while seeking to make learning equally accessible for all.
I will work in many ways for you, for example,to also control the constant rising cost of education - I will further work to see that as students your cost of that college education you are seeking is affordable and any additional fees would remain low and again, at a cost you can afford. I would seek to eliminate wasteful spending, advocate against cuts that directly impact education, and hold accountable the State of Texas to see that we receive our fair share of the maximum funding we are entitled to.
Employee positions would be safe from cuts with me, and.......
I will work to see that we retain the quality instructors that have made and continue to make LSCS the outstanding educational installation it is currently known as.
I will be a friend to the taxpayers,the student body,the staff and faculty,and the community as a whole.
There are other ways to support education other than constant tax increases.
I will serve you 365 days a year,always looking for ways to improve the system.
I invite you to contact me with any comments/questions/suggestions you may have;

Please consider voting for me, and tell your friends and neighbors as well.
