According to one voter, the School Board claims that “if the TRE passes Yantis ISD will receive $230,000 more each year from the State, [but] if the TRE fails they leave $230,000…in Austin.”
Voters are asked to attend a short presentation Tuesday August 16th at 5:30 pm at Yantis High School and Thursday August 18th at 6:00 pm at Yantis Elementary School.
