With only a majority vote needed, the Boerne Independent School District’s two bond proposals became reality on Saturday after district patrons approved them by slim margins.
The vote capped a long but now successful campaign the BISD administration, staff and its Long Range Planning Committee went through to get the word out about why the propositions were needed. Boerne ISD Superintendent Tom Price alone gave about 100 presentations to various groups and individuals about what the propositions are all about and why they are important to the successful future of the school district.
“First, a big thank you goes out to the voters for approving this bond,” committee Chair Ernie Pyles told The Star after the election totals were posted by the Kendall County Elections Office. “We really appreciate the support from our community. This was a bond built by the community, and we are grateful for the community’s help in passing it.”
