The Malakoff ISD has proposed a $72 million bond election to build a new school and make major renovations to others. Early voting starts Monday, April 19 and runs through April 27 for the May 1 election. Rich Flowers/staff
Malakoff Independent School District voters begin early balloting next week on the biggest bond issue in the history of the district.
If it passes, the $72 million package will fund construction of a new High School, renovations to the existing Middle School, and various district-wide capital improvements on all other campuses.
Voters can not only cast early ballots at the Malakoff Learning Center and the Texan Theater in Athens.

The electronic sign that stands along State Highway 31 at the Henderson County Regional Fair Park Complex is getting a larger, more up to date, replacement.
Fair Park Manager Howard Calloway told Commissioners Court on Tuesday, the new sign will cost about $190,000. At the meeting Commissioners authorized Calloway to apply for a 2021 Community Development Grant through the Athens Economic Development Corporation to pay for part of the sign.
The county is applying a grant of $38,000. The sign has been up there for about 15 years, Calloway said. Some of the components in it are broken. Some are obsolete and you can t replace them.
