AMS Construction Update
The AISD School Board approved the architecture plans
submitted by Claycomb Associates at the January school board meeting. The plans
have now been submitted to begin receiving bids for the construction at Anna Middle
School. As soon as Oncor moves the existing electrical line leading into AMS,
the district will move the portables and begin breaking ground. To minimize
disruption to classroom instruction and school routine, the portables are
scheduled to be moved over Spring Break.
We are excited to begin this process for the benefit of our students and
staff at AMS! Thank you for supporting the district and allowing us to push
forward with this expansion process.
Linking Past to Present
This year was the first year for Anna High School to offer
an audio visual course for our students. A few weeks ago they created a video
to compete in a competition entitled, “Celebrate Texas Public Schools”. Their
idea was to create a video linking past graduates to present students. The
students interviewed 47 former AISD graduates to create a video in which they
could share their memories and give the history of our school district. The
recording took place over two days and has now been sent off to the state level
for the competition. I would like to thank the students along with the
instructor Mr. Kramen and our district communications officer Melane Woodbury
for creating this video to preserve the legacy of our district. I will keep you
posted on how our students did at the competition. We will also place the video
on our district website at the completion of the competition.
Bond Election
The Anna ISD School Board will discuss the future facility needs at the February 19th board meeting to determine the need for a Bond Election. The Bond projects will be paid through our current debt service program along with funds collect through the TRE. An AISD Strategic Committee was formed last school year to determine the immediate and ongoing needs of the district. In following through with the committee’s recommendations, the School Board will be considering two additional elementary campuses, a second middle school, and a classroom expansion of Anna High School.
