Bond 2021 Updates

August 15, 2022,  the Navarro ISD Board of Trustees determined that since the Election was ordered, conditions have dramatically and unexpectedly changed, particularly with respect to increased construction costs due to, among other factors, labor shortages and supply-chain delays arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's war against Ukraine. The Board found that it is not economically feasible under these changed conditions to construct both a new high school and a new elementary school from the Bond 2021 funds. The Board intends to use 2021 bond proceeds primarily for the construction of a new high school, as permitted by Measure A, the corresponding Proposition A, and applicable Texas law. For More details  and documentation for this decision, please refer to the August 15, 2022 Regular Board Meeting Agenda and attached documents in section 8.P linked below for more details.
