McAllen school district leaders are working to gain support for a 335-million-dollar bond proposal that’s on the ballot next month.
The district held the first of a dozen community meetings to discuss the bond measure Monday. Superintendent Rene Gutierrez said the bond is necessary because local schools haven’t had needed upgrades for 20 years.
Gutierrez said the district’s 93-cent tax rate will not increase if the measure is passed. Early voting begins next week, with Election Day on May 2nd.
