Alvarado ISD Special Bond |
The Alvarado ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on February 14 to call an $125 million bond election for May 7, 2022. The bond proposal will address student capacity issues and aging facilities. The bond will be split into two propositions. Growth projections estimate the district will grow 23% in the next five years, adding around 900 students. As a district, we will exceed the combined capacity of all elementary campuses by 2025-26 and exceed the combined capacity of all campuses by 2026-27. Proposition A is for $107,450,000 and projects include: New Alvarado Elementary North, Expand Lillian Elementary School, Convert Alvarado Intermediate School to Alvarado Elementary South (Address Aging Needs), New Alvarado High School Competition Gym Proposition B is for renovations to the Alvarado High School baseball and softball field for $17,550,000. Due to Texas Election Code, the construction of a stadium or recreational facility (other than a gym) must now be voted on in a separate ballot proposition. This bond proposal is a part of a district master facility plan that has been developed over the span of several years. Projects from the 2019 bond began a process of grade realignment across the district, and this bond would complete that long-term grade realignment, with PreK-5th grade elementary schools, a 6th-8th grade junior high school, and a 9th-12th grade high school. This will mean fewer changes and transitions for students and greater operational efficiency and cost savings for the district. |

Candidate for Joshua Mayor Questionnaire:
SCOTT KIMBLE
The views expressed in the content belong to the content creators and not necessarily the same views of the JCRV organization, its affiliates, or volunteers.
- How long have you lived in Joshua? My wife and I have lived in Joshua for 34 years this August.
- What education/experience do you have that you bring to the table for mayoral role? I have been an involved citizen since 1980, studying candidates for public office to help me make voting decisions for people who are closest to representing me while in elected office. I have been involved at the Local, County, State and National levels. I am currently finishing my 7th year on the City Council of Joshua.
- What plans do you have for Joshua in this mayoral role? The City of Joshua has grown substantially since I moved here. Critical infrastructure has suffered during that growth. We need to concentrate on repairing streets, getting access to reliable fast-speed internet service to all citizens and continuing to grow our sales tax base to help keep our property tax rate as low as possible.
- What are your contributed accomplishments in your current role as City Council Member, Place 6? During my time on the City Council, we have had only 1 tax rate increase (my first year on Council and I voted against it), 3 consecutive years of no tax increase and 3 years of tax rate decreases. We also enacted a Homestead exemption. We have added full-time firefighters to our Fire Department which has improved response times. Our Police Department staffing level was increased and retention is better due to changes made in numerous areas. Being just a single vote on the Council does not carry much weight but not being afraid to voice my opinion and the opinions of our citizens has, I believe, encouraged other Council members to do the same.
- Facebook or Campaign Website: I do not participate in Fakebook (misspelling intended!). Also, as I am running unopposed, the need for a website would be a waste of money. I live on a budget and cannot just demand more money when I want to. This is how I believe all governmental bodies should handle the taxes they collect and spend as well.
- Please provide any other comments you wish to share with voters that was not asked of you above. Our form of government is dependent on citizen involvement. We need more people to get involved voting, running for office and volunteering to serve on various Boards (Planning and Zoning, Type A and Type B just to name a few).
It is our goal to keep you informed about any upcoming local elections that will be taking place in Johnson County, Texas. Please be patient as we update our records so that we can provide the most accurate information to you.
