Lometa Independent School District will hold its fourth and final community meeting to receive input on a bond issue for the school district if it passes voters’ muster in May.

The meeting is Monday at 6:30 p.m. at the school cafetorium.

In early March, the Lometa ISD Board of Trustees approved an order calling for a bond election.

The bond, which allows for construction of a $4.37 million gymnasium and classroom complex that will include a science and technology lab as well as four additional classrooms, will appear on the May 8 general election ballot.

A tax increase of 30 cents per $100 taxable valuation is projected above the current $1.04 tax rate.

Lometa Superintendent David Rice, at earlier meetings, noted new construction would allow room for continued growth in the school district.

At recent school board meetings, trustees have discussed utilizing an at-risk management arrangement versus a general manager.

Trustees agreed to consider the matter at an upcoming meeting, though a decision doesn’t have to be made until after the May bond issue vote, if it passes.
