For the third time in recent years, Connally ISD voters on May 4 will consider a bond issue to build a new elementary school replacing the district s 63-year-old facility.
25 News' Bobby Poitevint went to a town hall at the current elementary school Tuesday evening, to learn more about why they said a proposed $60 million Connally ISD bond is needed for the project.
Connally ISD said they are technically allowed to have a remote option, but they will receive no money from the TEA. Meaning the cost of daily operation comes out of each district.
Many Central Texas schools have announced a move to virtual learning, citing "an effort to break the cycle of spreading the virus" and "low attendance rates and staffing shortages."
