Early voting is less than a month away, and one of the items on the ballot is a $2.44 billion bond package for Austin ISD.Early voting is less than a month away, and one of the items on the ballot is a $2.44 billion bond package for Austin ISD.Joe Frank Martinez, athletic coordinator and head football coach, has worked at the school for 19 years and says the school, built in 1953, needs major upgrades.The football field is uneven, and there are no lines painted.
Teams often have to travel for games. "If you had turf and lights, it'd be nice to have your sub-varsity games here, middle school games here, and you really have a sense of pride and community," Martinez said.Austin ISD said the bond package will provide funding for improvements to enhance safety, centers on equity, benefits every campus and addresses affordability.
Improvements are part of the AISD bond package. There are three propositions in it: general purpose, technology, and athletic complexes. If passed, the bond would modernize 25 schools, with $252 million going to Travis ECHS. "The AC's working okay today, but most of the time it doesn't," Martinez said as he showed FOX 7 the weight room."You go to other surrounding areas, they got nicer facilities, so this would just benefit our kids overall, participation numbers, getting those up, and just level the playing field," Martinez said."The overall morale of the students and student athletes will increase, and the participation will increase," Martinez said.
"This bond proposal will not affect the tax rate reduction for this school year, and property owners are expected to see an additional estimated 3-cent reduction in the school tax rate next year, for a total reduction of 9.5 cents by 2023–24."that I have read and agree
