Citizen committee's $748 million bond recommendation to board includes new schools, renovation projects

The committee also recommended about $135.4 million for complete renovations to six campuses and partial renovations at least 40 others, Cantu said.

Two projects that appeared on the failed 2013 Student Activity Facilities Bond are also among the recommendations. The committee included a second stadium and a new agriculture center in the proposed projects.

The 12,000-seat stadium is estimated at $43 million and would be adjacent to Rhodes Stadium. The $69.5 million stadium proposal in the 2013 bond had 14,000 seats.

The bond would potentially raise the district's tax rate by one cent for every $100 of valuation, Cantu said.

The same tax increase was expected to accompany the district's 2010 bond but growth in the area made it unnecessary.

"When the committee came to an agreement it was a consensus agreement across the board," Cantu said. "Nobody felt strongly enough to veto it."
