Pecos-Barstow School Board Near Lighting Field
The Pecos-Barstow school board moved closer to lighting the football field after trimming the July estimate by 11,163 to 37,637 and hearing a CPS plan to reduce costs. CPS proposed individual pole transformers to avoid total outage, with a 42 week delay for a single transformer, and the board will compare substitutions with architects before contract approval. The meeting also included a resignation letter read from board member Elvin Reynolds.
