Voters approved bond referendums at both North Lamar and Prairiland school districts at the polls Saturday, and seated city council members and school trustees across the Red River Valley.
North Lamar ISD voters approved a $51.55 million bond in five propositions to build a new elementary school, make improvements at all campuses, purchase 15 new buses, purchase laptops, iPads and charging carts to allow a 1:1 ratio of student to learning device, improve athletic facilities and build a larger band hall.
âWe appreciate the confidence that our community has in North Lamar ISD,â Superintendent Kelli Stewart said. âThe victory of this election belongs to our students. They are the real winners, and for that we are eternally grateful to the voters that supported this bond.â
