Ringing in opportunities: Operation K.E.Y.S. reconnects youth with education
Volunteers filled the Board Room on Sept. 5 with the goal of reconnecting out-of-school youth with educational opportunities.
They came to help with the Operation K.E.Y.S. Phone Bank. Volunteers spent the morning calling parents and guardians of out-of-school youth. We are grateful for our volunteers!
The K.E.Y.S. Walk also has the same goal. Volunteers will walk door to door attempting to reach out-of-school youth. The walk begins at 9 a.m. Sept. 21 at Moody High School. Sign up for the walk online.

Learn more about Bond 2024 on the district’s website.
DO DON’T
• Get to know the bond - talk about it with family, friends, etc. (after work, you can express a position)
• Understand the process that was used to package the bond.
• Share the facts any time you want - educate people about the bond.
• Encourage people to vote!
• Know bond information resources - who to call, online content, print materials, etc.
• Vote! As a district representative, it is your obligation to make your voice heard.
RULE OF THUMB
After a school bond election is called... for any activity where information about the bond is shared (conversation, e-mail, phone, paper, etc.), you are not allowed to use district-owned resources to advocate (encourage support/ opposition). District-owned resources include your paid time, as well as all district equipment (telephones, computers, printers, copiers).
However, you can share facts any time you want.
• Advocate during work hours - you can share facts only; after hours, you can advocate all you want.
• Spend or authorize spending of District money for political advertising
• Conduct political advertising using Districtowned resources - includes creating/forwarding pro-bond phone messages, e-mails, printed materials, etc.
• Conduct political advertising on district property - includes conducting Pro-bond meetings & sharing pro-bond Literature at campus/district functions
• Be afraid - talk about the bond; educate people on the facts; advocate after hours.
WHAT IS POLITICAL ADVERTISING?
A communication that advocates a particular outcome of an election. It can be a communication in almost any written or broadcast form, such as a billboard, flier, newsletter, poster, television or radio advertisement, an e-mail message and/or a web site.
