Del Rio voters have approved a proposed $19 million school bond that calls for the construction of a brand new elementary school. The SFDRCISD Board of Trustees and the entire administration would like to express their sincere appreciation to the voters of Del Rio, who participated in the November 5th election. Board President Raymond Meza conveyed his gratitude after the final bond election results were released late Tuesday evening. “I am delighted that the voters approved the $19 million school bond. We want to especially thank everyone - all the groups and organizations that requested presentations and endorsed the initiative; in particular, the Political Action Committee (PAC), Mr. Eddie Amezcua, who chaired the committee, and all its members for their tremendous work.” Mr. Meza continued by also thanking his fellow Board of Trustees for assisting with bond presentations, discussions, and attendance at the various meetings. “Together, we are better,” stated Mr. Meza. “As a team of eight, we work diligently to provide the best education for all of the students in our community. We will continue to promote neighborhood schools.” Mr. Meza also explained that the Board would continue to promote neighborhood schools. “With recent housing developments on the north side, the District would eliminate the need for more bussing.” SFDRCISD Superintendent, Dr. Carlos Rios, also expressed his appreciation to all who voted and encouraged others to vote in Tuesday’s election. “This is absolutely an exciting time for our community,” he said. “Regardless of how you casted your vote in the bond election, the true winners in this election are our students.” With the passing of this school bond measure, SFDRCISD is set to finalize contracts with a realtor and an architect, and begin the process of planning for the construction of a new elementary school. |
