WACO, Texas — This summer, the school board for the Waco Independent School District will decide whether or not they should move forward with a $376.1 million project that would replace four of the district's oldest campuses with new, larger buildings; and in turn, could cost the average homeowner in Waco ISD an extra $12.23 a month in order to pay for the construction.
On Tuesday, Waco ISD revealed the recommendations made by the Community Advisory Committee, which consisted of more than 60 parents, educators and other community members, after they studied Waco ISD's long-term facility needs over the past five months.
