Foundation begins new bus campaign for Evant schools

The Evant ISD Heritage Foundation is launching a major drive to raise $50,000 for the purchase of new and more reliable school buses. The school district has received a matching grant to purchase two new buses. The funds raised will help fulfill the district’s matching 20 percent share, replacing old buses with more fuel-efficient models equipped with enhanced safety features. The Foundation plans to kick off the project in January with the goal of reaching its target by the end of the school year.

Notes from the Mayor

As we get the holidays behind us, for most of us, it’s back to work and soon back to school. Two occurrences that usually happen around this time of year are colds and flu on the rise and impending hard freeze temperatures. Take care of yourself when ill and take the proper precautions not to spread to others. While a cold may not affect everyone, another type of cold will affect everyone.

HCAD: File homestead exemptions

One of the easiest ways a homeowner can lower his or her property tax bill is to file a homestead exemption. A homestead is generally the house and land used as the owner’s principal residence on Jan. 1 of the tax year. A person who acquires property after Jan. 1 may receive the residence homestead exemption for the applicable portion of that tax year immediately on qualification for the exemption if the preceding owner did not receive the same exemption for that tax year.
