WICHITA FALLS, Texas (TNN) - Wichita Falls ISD is still planning to call another bond election for May 2021, which would pay for athletic facilities for the two new high schools. Now the district is adding competition fields on top of practice ones, which would be an increase of nearly $4 million; but that cost won’t fall on the taxpayers.
The Texas state legislature’s most recent rule to call any additional practice and athletic facilities for school bonds “recreational,” and make them their own bond proposition, has created a learning curve for both Wichita Falls ISD and its architectural team.
