January 21, 2024 – The Sulphur Springs Independent School District Board of Trustees will hold their regular monthly meeting at 6:00pm Monday January 22, 2024 in the board room of the Administration Building located at 631 Connally St. in Sulphur Springs.
The trustees will have a full agenda as they swear in a new police chief, hear a presentation on Academic Performance, as well as have a presentation from the Bond Planning Committee. The Bond Planning Committee has worked diligently over the past several months in investigating the district’s needs as well as devising a plan forward for the school district as it pertains to the age of it’s campuses. The committee has narrowed down the most urgent needs for the district which seems to be to add two new primary campuses as well as upgrade existing campuses to increase the number of students for those older campuses that will be refurbished. If the bond committee adheres to this plan, they could be asking the Board of Trustees to consider a bond package of approximately $150 million.
Ultimately, the final decision lies with the seven member board as to what bond amount should be placed on the upcoming May ballot for voters in the SSISD to consider.
