The district will ask voters to consider a plan for multipurpose facilities, classroom space and athletic facilities after the board voted to call the election last week. More details about the proposal will be featured in upcoming editions.
Aquilla ISD also has two school board seats available in November. Incumbent Will Pinner hopes to retain his seat, and others on the ballot will be Amber Cain, Jerry Juhl, Jimmy Wade and Kevin Clepper.

The election will be held Tuesday, November 7. Constitutional amendments will also be on the ballot statewide.
