Bond issue RISD board rejects plan
Roswell Independent School District rejects a two mill bond election plan that would have generated 176 142 from local taxpayers and 521 618 in state matching funds. The 3-2 vote keeps funds and timing under debate while a separate refinancing plan to save 350 000 by 1986 gains unanimous board approval.
