Trustees Table Building Trades Funds Bid
Calhoun ISD trustees stalled a $10,000 request from a $98,799 Special State Aid Fund to buy two lots for a new Building Trades unit. The plan, praised for its hands on home building program, aims to recycle profits into the school fund and involves an advisory council of local real estate and construction professionals. The motion was tabled for a March 27 special meeting amid debate over location and timing and alongside other board actions on insurance, daycare contracts, and student legislative visits.
