So, to those who say their priorities are screwed up, it would benefit you to do a little (alot in my case) research on what all has been done in the district before or concurrent with the stadium.

I've driven past this stadium several times in the last couple of weeks. It makes me sad to think that Texas school districts are cutting benefits and jobs for teachers but still manage to pull $60M out of their asses for a football stadium. Ridiculous.

Another response that is ignorant. You do realize what a BOND ELECTION is, correct? This isn't coming from the operating budget. This is coming from the tax base that VOTED FOR THEIR TAXES TO BE RAISED TO FUND NOT ONLY THIS PROJECT, BUT $269 MILLION WORTH OF ACADEMIC UPGRADES.
If other school districts could keep their financial business in order, maybe they could pull this off. Don't villify a school district that clearly gets it, and chose to pay for this project OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS.

You have no idea how school finance works in Texas, do you?
