Lamar CISD’s bond package includes Proposition C, intended for technology purchases at a cost of $16.7 million, according to its website. This includes replacement of student and staff laptops, desktop computers, iPads, flat panels and digital signage. Proposition B includes $189 million for a new career and technology center serving some 15,000 students. There are multiple propositions in the package including safety and security and construction of four elementary schools.
Spring Branch ISD in October announced that it took $307 million of bonds to the market in October. Bonds will yield $323 million and support 2017 projects and fund 2022 projects.
