ALBA, Texas (KETK) \u2013 The Alba-Golden ISD Board of Trustees is asking voters to pass a $20.6 million bond proposal that would fund a new Career and Technology Education Center and a new district gymnasium.<\/p>\n
According to the district, the board proposed the bond election after a group of students, staff, parents, alumni and community members formed the Panther Legacy Vision Team to analyze the needs and long-term priorities of the district.<\/p>\n
The district\u2019s bond website says the two bond projects will include the following facilities:<\/p>\n
Career & Technology Education (CTE) Facility
\n Agricultural Mechanics & Metal Tech workshop (3,500 SF)
\n Construction Tech workshop (3,500 SF)
\n Two large Ag Tech classrooms (960 SF each)
\n Four regular CTE classrooms (750 SF each)
\n Covered work area (2,250 SF)
\n Tool & materials storage and paint booth
\n Instructor workroom & restrooms
\n District Gymnasium
\n Regulation-sized court with two practice cross-courts
\n Boys locker rooms \u2013 Varsity\/JV (or visitor)
\n Girls locker rooms \u2013 Varsity\/JV (or visitor)
\n Coaches office & locker room (boys & girls)
\n Laundry, training room, and storage
\n Expanded foyer, concessions, and restrooms<\/p>\n
The Texas Association of School Boards did a facility assessment at the district\u2019s current CTE and gym facilities in 1977 and found them to be in poor condition, using mechanical systems past their useful life and limiting school programs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe proposed new CTE and District Gymnasium facilities seek to address capacity limitations, safety deficiencies, supervision limitations, accessibility compliance, workforce pathway expansion, scheduling conflicts, and building system life-cycle,\u201d the district said. \u201cThe proposed new facilities are larger, as well as programmatically designed, and will have a capacity appropriate for modern instructional programs and student use.\u201d<\/p>\n
If Alba-Golden ISD\u2019s bond passes in the May 2 election, the average property tax rate will go up by $28.42 per month. To learn more about the proposal, visit the Alba-Golden ISD 2026 Bond website online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
