North Lamar $56 Million Bond Issue Will Go To Voters May 7th

The North Lamar ISD Board of Trustees has unanimously voted to call a $56 million  bond election for May 7th.  If the measure passes, a new elementary and new intermediate school would be built to replace two aging campuses.  Renovations would also be done to the athletic and band facilities.  If the bond is approved by voters, it would result in a 27.46 cent tax increase.  For someone with a $100,000 home, that would amount to about $274 a year.
