Kemp ISD sets priorties in new $15 million budget




Kemp Independent School District plans to add a new athletic center for the 2017-2018 school year.

The KISD Board of Trustees recently made the decision during new budget deliberations. The new $15 million budget also includes the purchase of a day care center building near the administration building. The building will be renovated for an undetermined purpose, which might be used for a staff workout center and more office space.

A trustee advisory team made up of Carissa Roberts, Rusty Clamon and Jerry Gilbert will manage the athletic center project. They will be allowed to spend up to $50,000 on purchases without full board approval.

The board shot down a plan to buy new school buses without adding new safety belts that become law Sept. 1. The Texas Legislature passed the new law in the last session. Trustees will consider new school bus purchases and how to pay for the added costs later.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 11)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 81 degrees; 0.46 feet above pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass bite is on fire and with fish on a feeding frenzy! Start looking for these fish on flats throughout the lake and on edges of drop-offs, especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on drop-offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in 5-14 feet of water with slabs. Reports of great catches in 17–26 feet of water using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits off the bottom with a very slow retrieve. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for fish under bridge pylons or under docks in 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Numbers of catfish can be caught targeting humps in 10-20 feet of water, but there are a lot of small fish. Bigger fish can be caught drifting cut shad, carp, drum or bream. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
