The East Central Independent School District approves a 360 million bond election for November to fund three new schools including a high school and two elementary schools, upgrades to Homet Stadium, and security and pay raises.

Voters will decide in November on four propositions tied to a 360 million bond package. Proposition A raises the maintenance and operations tax rate by five cents per 100 dollars, from 67 to 72 cents. Propositions B through D cover a new high school, stadium, two elementary schools, ag facilities, stadium renovations, tennis courts, turf and lighting for baseball and softball, and improved accessibility.
