In an effort to inform our community about RISD’s Tax Ratification Election (TRE), we are reaching out to our Homeowners Associations in hopes that an RISD district representative or board member can attend and present TRE information at a meeting (board or general meeting) and that you’ll share this information (see the flyer) and scheduled TRE Information Sessions with your association or group.

The following dates have been set for the RISD TRE Information Sessions:

Mon., Sept. 17 7:00pm Richardson HS - Library

Tues., Sept. 25 7:00pm Pearce HS - Black Box Theater

Sat., Oct. 13 9:00am RISD Administration Building

I would be happy to speak to you and/or your association to give you information and answer any questions about the TRE. Please feel free to contact me at 214-682-8746. You can find answers to many questions and more information on the district’s website at www.risd.org/tre2018.
