Stafford MSD board unanimously approves resolution requesting school building bond election
Summary
The Stafford Municipal School District board voted 7-0 Feb. 11 to adopt a resolution requesting a school building bond election, a preliminary step to put funding for district facility projects before voters.
The Stafford Municipal School District board on Feb. 11 voted unanimously to "adopt a resolution approving the school building bond election as presented," advancing plans to ask voters to authorize funding for district facility projects.
Trustee Ash Hamirani moved the resolution, and Trustee Jacqueline Jean-Baptiste seconded. President Manuel Hinojosa called the roll; the minutes record seven "Yea" votes, with no nays. The resolution asks voters to consider a bond authorizing funds for school building projects; the agenda also listed a proposed ordinance to formally call the election and set notice procedures.
The board's approval sends the measure to the next administrative steps required before the district can place the bond on the ballot, including any required public notice and coordination with legal counsel and bond advisers. Superintendent Dr. Robert Bostic introduced advisers from Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. (LAN), RBC Capital Markets and counsel from Orrick to support planning and answer trustee questions. The board did not record further detail about the ordinance vote in the transcript.
