Whereas there is currently a vacancy on the school board at Round Top-Carmine ISD, and in full knowledge that a formal election would be costly to the school district, and in an effort to have the desires of the community which the board serves represented: I give my support to Mr. Brandon Pieper as a candidate to fill the current school board vacancy. Mr. Pieper is an active member of the community where he lives and works. He serves as a volunteer first responder for the Round Top Fire Department, and as a member of the Round Top Show Fund. Brandon took an active roll in the success of the school districts last bond election- and is well aware of the financial needs and limitations of the district as a result. He is a 1991 graduate of RTC and has two children enrolled in the school. Both Brandon and his wife have strong family ties to the community. My signature below indicates my support of Mr. Pieper and further indicates that I am a resident of the Round Top- Carmine School District and would be eligible to vote in a formal election if held.
