The Bryan ISD school board is moving ahead with another project from last November’s $175 million dollar bond issue.
A 6-1 board vote followed vocal support of the bond committee’s recommendations to replace aging fences and entry gates at Merrill Green Stadium.
Four of the six board members who voted yes responded to David Stasny’s call to delay action to see if the $571,000 dollar cost would go down.
Later in the meeting, the board unanimously authorized the sale of the bonds. The board’s bond advisor said if they were sold today, the interest rate would be around 2.25 percent.
