  abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine what factors
  abstract: influenced the voters' decision during the October 1, 1994
  abstract: Conroe Independent School District(CISD) Bond Referendum.
  abstract: Questionnaires were sent to 400 randomly selected voters who
  abstract: voted absentee/early in the October 1, 1994 CISD School Bond
  abstract: Referendum during the summer of 1995. Personal interviews
  abstract: were conducted during the fall of 1995 to gather further
  abstract: data. Twenty of the twenty-six factors present during the
  abstract: October 1, 1994, CISD School Bond Referendum were found to be
  abstract: significant influences on voter approval. Those factors
  abstract: included: the opportunity for early/absentee voting, trust in
  abstract: the CISD School Board, trust in the CISD administration,
  abstract: trust in CISD in general, the involvement of school
  abstract: personnel, personal endorsements and endorsements from the
  abstract: chambers of commerce, the growth in student population,
  abstract: having children in CISD, having detailed information about
  abstract: the bond referendum, information comparing surrounding school
  abstract: district's tax rates, previous school bond follow-through,
  abstract: information on the cost increase for the average home in
  abstract: CISD, government compliance needs, the use of a public
  abstract: relations campaign, campus activities to promote the needs of
  abstract: bond passage, community participation in the bond referendum,
  abstract: parent participation in the bond election, the consequences
  abstract: of a failed bond referendum, the theme "Taking Hold of the
  abstract: Future ... A Plan for our Students to the Year 2000", and the
  abstract: presence of long range planning. The six factors that were
  abstract: not found to be significant influences on the voters were:
  abstract: the influence of the CISD Facility Planning Committee,
  abstract: previous CISD tax cuts, previous cost cutting measures in
  abstract: CISD, the focus on the needs of all of the students in CISD,
  abstract: voting on a single issue, and having children formerly in
  abstract: CISD. Prior research supported the influence of the
  abstract: findings of the present study. One area of research that is
  abstract: void of data is the effect of early/absentee voting
  abstract: opportunities. The findings of the present study support the
  abstract: assumption of the positive influence of early/absentee voting
  abstract: opportunities.
