A major decision for our community with two propositions totaling more than $460 million.
👉 Proposition A (the larger portion) will address much-needed renovations across 39 schools, including new air conditioners, roofs, and windows, as well as the construction of a brand-new Career & Technical Center to better prepare our students for the future workforce.
👉 Proposition B will dedicate $75 million toward building a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center, giving our students and community a first-class venue to showcase creativity, culture, and talent. Dr. Chávez joined me in the studio to break down what these propositions mean for our students, families, and the future of Brownsville.
