Bond Election
The Anna ISD Board of Trustees called for a $155,000,000
bond election to be held May 7, 2016. The bond package includes 2 additional
elementary schools, a second middle school, expansion of the high school classroom
wings, and other district renovations. This election will not include a tax
increase for the citizens of Anna. The funds collected through the TRE will
fund these projects. Information on the bond election can be found on the Anna
ISD web site. I am also willing to come out and visit with any group or
organization to discuss this topic.
AMS Construction Update
District administration met with the construction company
this week to review bids submitted for the project. We are reviewing the bids with
the respective departments within the district and doing reference checks. We
are planning to accept bids on March 2 and then proceed with the project.
As soon as Oncor moves the existing electrical
line leading into AMS, the district will move the portables and begin breaking
ground. It looks as if the portables will be moved over Spring Break as to not
disrupt instruction. 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.
