EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 As the El Paso Independent School District weighs a bond proposal worth just over $445 million, district leaders say the plan would not require a tax increase and would focus on major needs across EPISD campuses.<\/p>\n
El Paso ISD Superintendent Dr. Brian Lusk joined KFOX14 Community Conversations to talk about the upcoming school year. <\/p>\n
The proposed bond would address items including HVAC systems at schools, a key area district leaders have highlighted as part of the bond\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n
EPISD is also preparing to launch a free mobile app this school year that will allow families to track their child\u2019s school bus in real time. The district is introducing the technology as part of its back-to-school efforts.<\/p>\n
District leaders are also asking for community feedback on the bond proposal, with information on where people can weigh in expected to be shared by EPISD.<\/p>\n
No additional details about the bond\u2019s full project list, the current status of HVAC improvements, or any temporary measures being used at campuses were provided in the script.<\/p>\n
