CISD's proposed bond fails; election round-up
Cleburne ISD's proposed $165 million bond failed Saturday, with both Prop A and Prop B falling.
Proposition A, totaling $137.6 million, would have funded the replacement of Cooke and Gerard elementary schools by building two new campuses that fit 750 students each. Both would cost $58.6 million with estimated completion by July 2027.
Results for that proposition were 1,729 against and 1,453 for.
Proposition B, totaling $27.4 million, would have funded the construction of a multi-use stadium on the CHS campus. The stadium would serve as a venue for athletics, fine arts and community events.
Results for that proposition were 1,816 against and 1,364 for.
