The Ector County ISD Board of Trustees will have a workshop meeting at 6 p.m. Monday to discuss a proposed bond issue.
The meeting will be at the ECISD administration building, 802 N. Sam Houston Ave.
The meeting also includes opening and closing remarks by the superintendent and public comment.
The consensus of the bond advisory committee was to propose a bond of just under $400 million including a state-of-the-art career and technical education center for $80 million; a new middle school for $120 million; priority 1 maintenance items at $51 million; and $79 million in priority 2 maintenance items.
This would be done without raising taxes, Superintendent Scott Muri has said.
Over the last several years ECISD has made moves that saved taxpayers $26.9 million in future interest payments, according to the district, Muri has said.
“We have approximately $400 million in what’s called bond capacity, which means we have the ability as a system to go out and capture and really sell $400 million worth of bonds without raising the tax rate because the current tax rate has the ability to pay off $400 million worth of bonds,” Muri said in April.
The reason ECISD is in this position, he said, is because of the good stewardship of the board of trustees.
