Elgin Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Vote to Endorse EISD School Bond Proposal
The Elgin Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors voted unanimously on October 14, 2021 to endorse the Elgin Independent School District’s 2021 Bond proposal, a $190 million bond package that school district residents will vote on in a the November 2nd election.
Elgin ISD is growing. In fact, demographic projections show that the district enrollment is expected to DOUBLE in the next ten years. Many of our schools will soon exceed capacity - and some already do. Learning environments have a significant impact on students' educational experiences and modern classrooms and technology will position our students to compete and excel academically. Quality facilities will also help continue to attract quality educators and families to Elgin ISD.
“From the viewpoint of the business community, there are few things more important than ensuring an educated workforce," President Gena Carter said. "The passing of these bonds will impact every single campus, every student and every teacher with no increase for voters over the age of 65. By our support, we communicate to all that we are invested in our student’s success and the future of our community."
We encourage Elgin citizens to vote and support the passing of the bonds. Early voting begins on Monday, October 18th. For additional information on the bond proposal visit www.elginbond21.com.
