Thrall residents have a few upcoming meetings to learn more about the school bond up for election in May.
Next Sunday, April 10, Thrall Independent School District will have the next session in a series of community meetings on bond propositions. The meeting will be at 3:30 p.m. at Thrall High School, 201 S. Bounds St.
The meeting will cover the property values in the district. Another property values discussion will also be at the high school April 13 at 6 p.m.
On April 27, the bond project’s scope and construction will be the final meeting’s topic. The session will be at 7 p.m. at the high school.
Thrall ISD has already had a couple of meetings on the bond election since it was approved by the school board Feb. 10. Residents have been encouraged to join and share their thoughts on future facility planning.
There will be two propositions voted on by citizens. One prop mostly affects general education facilities along with some recreational and athletic features on campus. The second prop revolves around Tiger Stadium, Thrall ISD’s football complex.
The props are as follows.
• Proposition A: $64,816,680.00 — The prop has plans for a new elementary campus including playgrounds, gym space, cafeteria, and parking; addition to the high school campus including classrooms, gym space and parking; renovation of current elementary campus to convert to a middle school; and athletic facility upgrades including a new weight room, tennis courts and upgrades for baseball and softball.
• Proposition B: $3,683,320.00 — For Tiger Stadium, the prop would fund a bleacher expansion, parking and field/facility improvements.
If passed, the props would result in a tax increase of 5 cents per $100 valuation over the current tax rate of $1.2897. Citizens ages 65 and older with a homestead and exemption application filed through the Williamson County Appraisal District would not be affected by the bond election.
