Campaign themes

2014

Allfrey's campaign website listed the following themes for 2014:

“	Fiscally Sound Budget Adopting a fiscally sound budget for FBISD is one of the most important functions of the Board of Trustees. While the Administration is tasked with presenting a budget to the board each year, it is the Board's responsibility to guarantee that the budget that it presented and ultimately approved is based on sound and sensible fiscal policies and principals. The Board must continually evaluate revenues and expenditures throughout the year in order to secure the district's compliance to the budget's limitations while making adjustments as needed. I am committed to making FBISD a fiscally responsible school district. As a Board member, I will be actively involved with the Staff of FBISD in certifying that expenditures over $25,000 are properly evaluated by the Board before they are expended. By achieving the goal of being a fiscally sound and responsible school district, we will maintain a high financial rating and will benefit from lower interest rates on our debt. Only through debt reduction can we expect tax relief in the future. Safe & Secure Schools Upon our students entering our schools their safety and security is our number one priority. Maintaining a safe environment so that our students can focus on learning is an achievable goal. That goal is accomplished by promoting programs that prevent violence while assisting our students in building strong interpersonal relationships. Additionally, we must have dependable systems in place to ensure the security of our students while they are in our schools. These programs and systems must be adequately communicated to our students, parents and faculty in an effective and efficient manner, allowing all to feel safe and secure in all FBISD facilities. I am committed to the goal of providing such an environment and working with the staff and community to assure that the programs and systems we have already established, and those we plan to implement, are not only adequate, but are updated and communicated to all who have a vested interest in a positive learning environment. By achieving our goal of a safe and secure school district, we allow our students, teachers and administrators to focus on educational success.	”

2012

Allfrey stated that he is opposed to the franchise (margin) tax. On education he stated, "I believe to have a prosperous state we must have a sound K-12 education system that is focused on graduating young adults from high school that are prepared to enter college or trade schools. All children in the Texas system should have the same opportunity to excel and advance in their educational opportunities. Our education system must be based on higher learning not memorization of answers to a test."

He listed the following as his priorities: "Improve Public Education, Decrease the size of State Government, Eliminate Property tax for Public Education, Eliminate the Franchise Tax, Reform the State Sales Tax System."
