The Bowie Independent School District Facilities Committee Thursday night presented its report recommending the board consider a $65.8 million bond issue that would go toward a new intermediate school, major renovation to the present intermediate as it transitions to a junior high and several improvements across the district’s campuses.
Daniel Deweber, committee chairman, made the presentation along with members Alan Miller, Van Baize and John McShan.
While the board made no specific voting action, it directed the superintendent to initiate action to call for a bond election possibly in November. Additional information will be provided at the next meeting.
Deweber said they were originally tasked to consider a new junior high, however, as they began researching the idea moved to a new intermediate (grades three-five) to be built on the property next to the present junior high. The BJH students would then move over to the present intermediate after it is renovated.
The present junior high (grades 6-8) would be repurposed for administration, Alternative Education Center and other things. Deweber said they would suggest selling the property where the AEP is located near the water tower.
