Odessa school bond plan boosts cost by 2.4 million
The school board approved a 7-0 vote to raise the bond project cost to 54.4 million for elementary renovations and high school expansions to accommodate ninth graders in 2015. Architect Dan Hart said bidding in the Permian Basin caused the overage. The district plans naming committees, phased construction, and a unified design theme across all three elementary campuses with enhanced safety tech and community use. Groundbreaking timelines remain flexible with committee formation expected within the year.
