Northside ISD trustees pulled a $24 million outdoor learning center from their November bond proposal, voting 6-1 to redirect funds toward urgent needs amid a $30 million budget shortfall. Board President Sonia Jasso emphasized fiscal responsibility and voter trust, while lone dissenter Carol Harle argued the center’s mental health and science benefits outweighed timing concerns. The revised $886 million bond now funds general improvements, tech upgrades, and athletic facility replacements, paired with a 3-cent tax hike for staff raises. The board will finalize the package and election date at their August 11 meeting, aiming to stay under $1 billion amid statewide bond rejection trends.
