Special School Election To Be Held Sept 3rd
The Renwick Board of Education calls a special election for Saturday September 3 to decide on building a bus garage for Renwick Independent School District at minimal cost. A 40100 square foot steel building could be erected for about 11000, with Quaker Oats leasing it for two years paying around 8000, leaving the district to cover the balance via a tax levy of 2.5 mills for up to three years. After that, the district would own the building with room for added classrooms.
