The Ector County ISD Board of Trustees will consider calling a bond election for Nov. 7 at their 6 p.m. meeting Aug. 15 in the administration building, 802 N. Sam Houston Ave.
The bond would be $427,155,000 and district officials have said it can be issued without raising taxes.
>> A new career and technical center for $80 million. CTE would be used by ECISD students, but also adults for reskilling and upskilling. Part of it would be funded by the Permian Strategic Partnership.
Superintendent Scott Muri has said the amount PSP will contribute is not yet public, but they contributed $10 million to a similar facility in Hobbs, N.M.
Muri has said they have talked about putting this on the south side of the county for access as it will be used by students during the week and adults on nights and weekends for reskilling and upskilling in partnership with Odessa College.
>> A new middle school for $120 million. There has been discussion of putting this in the western part of Ector County.
>> Priority 1 items for $48.4 million (these are things that need to be taken care of right away).
>> Priority 2 items for $72.7 million (these are things that can be done in three to five years at the most).
>> Replacing the Transportation Department building and buying buses for $37.54 million. The building used to be the Ector County airport hangar and when they fix the buses, the mechanics have to take the air out of the tires to get them in the service bays, Muri has said.
>> Technology Department needs, $23.5 million. The district’s phone system, for example, expires next year and needs to be replaced.
>> Fine Arts Department needs, $18.5 million.
>> Athletics Department needs, $11.1 million. This includes lights, a concrete bleacher overlay at Ratliff Stadium, lights for the parking lot at Ratliff Stadium and updating the restrooms.
>> Agricultural Farm, $7.5 million. This would replace all the original buildings that are out there.
>> Replacing the Transition Learning Center for $8 million.
