SOMERVILLE I.S.D. TO TRY BOND ELECTION AGAIN

  

Trustees on the Somerville School Board are moving forward with a bond election that would fund a new elementary school.

The board has not finalized the amount, but Superintendent Charles Camarillo says it’s expected to be between 10.5-and-11.5 million dollars.

The bonds would be used for a new elementary school with a cafeteria and gymnasium.

A public meeting is set for Wednesday night at 6:00 in the Yegua Center, where architects will provide more detailed information, including blueprints.

Back in May of 2014 and November of 2014, Somerville ISD voters rejected bond issues that would have funded a new elementary school, renovations at the high school, a new cafeteria and a new parking lot for staff.

The May 2014 referendum failed by 10 votes and the November election failed by eight votes.
