Austin School Trustees voted unanimously to call a $343.7 million bond election on May 10 to finance campus improvements and to construct new facilities. The Austin district’s last bond election was in 2004 for $519.5 million and provided eight new schools and land and improvement for many others.The bond proposal includes three propositions that address overcrowding, academics, safety, renovations and other district needs. The district has also approved a resolution to appoint a bond oversight committee to monitor the spending of bond money, should the bonds pass.
