PUBLIC MEETING TUESDAY FOR INFORMATION ON BRENHAM ISD BOND
Brenham ISD’s second and final public meeting on its two bond propositions this fall is taking place tonight (Tuesday).
Residents are invited to Brenham Junior High School at 6 p.m. for a walkthrough of junior high facilities and an opportunity to ask questions about what is on the November 8th ballot.
Voters will choose whether to fund the construction of a new junior high school serving 1,450 students in grades 6-8 and the renovation and expansion of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) department at Brenham High School.
Proposition A, for the new junior high school, costs $111 million and would increase the school district tax rate by $0.1500 per $100 valuation if approved. Proposition B, for the CTE improvements, values at $25 million and would add $0.0360 per $100 to the tax rate.
Early voting is underway through November 4th at the Washington County Courthouse Annex.
Earlier this month, Superintendent Dr. Tylor Chaplin and Brenham Junior High School Principal Michael Watts were featured on the Brenham ISD Roundtable to discuss the bond in further detail. The Roundtable program can be heard here.
