(Aledo, Tx) – Aledo ISD students return to class this morning.

It comes on the heels of Monday evening’s board meeting, where the Aledo ISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted to call a bond election for November 5, 2019.  Trustees approved the Bearcat Growth Committee’s (BGC) recommendation of a $149,950,000 (nearly $150 million) bond proposal, which will be presented on the ballot as a single proposition and will not include a tax rate increase.

The district says they need the money to address the increasing student enrollment growth in Aledo and district-wide facility needs.
