Very curious how many of the 622 students attending Burton schools are actually from Brenham/out of district?? Was a very large percentage as I recall.
Lots of traffic in our little town of 300 people twice a day, and a 44 million dollar bond to swallow!
KWHI-can you find the answer for the BISD citizens/taxpayers??
