TISD Trustees OK Long-Range Plan

TYLER — Tyler ISD board members voted this week for a long-range plan. According to KETK, the approval means the district will be looking at a potential new bond election this November. Superintendent Randy Reid says the school board has been working on the long-range plan for over a year now. He says the unanimous approval was the first step in improving facilities and programs at the secondary level. The plan includes new high schools and a new advanced technology and career center, along with shifting grade configuration. According to Reid, “We have not made any decisions as to whether or not we’re going to go forward in November. We know that the economy is favorable, as far as the bond rates are concerned right now, even though these are challenging times for everyone.” Click on http://district-planning.tylerisd.org/modules/groups/integrated_home.phtml?gid=3086091 to learn more about the long-range plan.
