"Anything that will help the kids be in a more comfortable learning environment will help the teachers give the kids what they need instruction-wise, I think it's a benefit for everyone," Bremond ISD teacher Leslie Kasowski said.
Local voters in Bremond will decide several propositions on the May 3rd ballot — each aimed at improving the district's schools and resources.
"Bremond, being such a small community, the school is the heart of the community," Kasowski said.
If approved, these propositions will result in increased property taxes.
But the district tells 15 ABC the money is needed to repair Bremond ISD's school building, air conditioner, and athletic fields.
"The structure is still fine, but some of the things that were put in 30 years ago are no longer serviceable," Bremond ISD Superintendent Lance Wineinger said.
"A lot of this is just, you know, basic needs and safety, and a lot of it is all good for the kids, for safety and athletics and academics, and so, these props kind of cover everything involved with the school district," Wineinger said.
It would also provide funding for technology upgrades, which Math Teacher Leslie Kasowski says are long overdue.
15 ABC asked Kasowski what kind of impact would these possible technology upgrades make for current and future students.
"I mean, anytime you can add technology and keep up with technology, that's always going to help the students, help the teachers be able to relate information to the students in a format in which they're comfortable with and which they're used to using."
No matter the outcome of the election, the superintendent assures 15 ABC these repairs will get done one way or another..
"This community has had a reputation for doing what's good for kids for a long time, I understand. so, we look forward to finding out how it works out," he said.
"And if it doesn't pass, we'll go back to the drawing board and find a way," he said.
