School Bond

Well, the school board is working on another bond, and this one should be a whopper. With almost all of the local districts passing or working on a bond, including our rivals across the tracks we are getting on the wagon so to speak. I have viewed the facilities report from the NISD website and it looks like we need at least a couple of new schools and upgrades on all the rest. Of course there is talk about a new or renovated stadium, because PNG is upgrading thiers. No matter how you feel about the stadium, I think everyone should seriously consider voting for this bond. Although the schools are in pretty fair shape for being an average of 60 years old, which is a testament to the NISD maintenance department, it is time begin replacing them and getting the rest up to par until they can be replaced. There are people still moving into this area, especially with all the jobs coming , and we need the room and a safe enviroment. If the stadium becomes an issue, maybe it needs to be a seperate issue on the bond.
