REDWATER, Texas (KETK) — Redwater voters will decide on a $13.9 million school bond this May, separated into two propositions outlining district?wide improvement projects.

Proposition A, with a $9.9 million price tag, would upgrade the safety and security district-wide, fund a band hall expansion and make renovations to the gym foyer and locker rooms.

Proposition B, approximately $4 million, would cover stadium complex renovations such as a new track, turf field and drainage and fencing improvements.
