Trustees to vote on bond election |
|
On Thursday, August 16, at 6:00 p.m. the ECISD Board of Trustees will consider placing a $129,750,000 bond proposal on the November election ballot. The meeting will take place in the ECISD Board Room in the main administration building at 802 N. Sam Houston.
Trustees met last week to hear the results of a series of community focus groups conducted in May and to receive a presentation from the Superintendent of Schools on how to address the school district's needs and what it might cost. A recap of that meeting can be found here.

Gale Pond/ Alamo back in session |

While most of us are trying to squeeze a little more vacation out of summer, the students and staff at Gale Pond/Alamo are already back at work...
Alamo is the Year-round Leadership Academy Magnet school and the new year started August 6. It was a good first week for them and we wanted to share a few pictures from the pre-kindergarten classroom of Cindy Kirby and Megan Snapp. That's Ms. Snapp working with the kids at the SmartBoard!
