Education needs loom as Austin weighs school city reform
City Board of Education President R. W. Byram outlined major needs and proposals at a West Austin breakfast. He cited a $14 million five year expansion cost and the potential for a separate school bond issue and even a possible divorce of the public schools from city government to keep debt within a 10 percent limit. He warned state and city bonds could raise Austin’s debt beyond the cap, risking higher interest rates. He noted possible 15,000 to 20,000 seat central stadium plans and a minor role for St. John’s land, while stressing no formal stadium site or plan has been adopted.
