CALDWELL ISD APPROVES BOND ELECTION

  

The Caldwell school board has approved a $28 million bond election to go before taxpayers in May.

School board members approved the election Wednesday night.

The proposed bond includes a number of construction projects for both the high school and middle school, including: new HVAC systems, a new Agriculture and Science Building, and a second gym for the high school.

Superintendent Andrew Peters says the career and technology center would house an EMT and nurse assistant program and a possible culinary program.

School officials say if the bond passes, homeowners could see a $100 to $300 per year increase in taxes.

Superintendent Andrew Peters says the bond would also lay the groundwork for a potential middle school.

As a precaution, the board also adopted a reimbursement resolution to address HVAC concerns regardless of whether the bond passes.
