(Seguin) -- A May 2022 bond election might just be on the table for the Seguin ISD. The school board tonight will consider calling a $7.5 million bond election for the construction of a new baseball and softball complex at the Seguin High School campus. The item was voted down by voters just this past November. District officials tonight are expected to discuss and provide more details about bringing the sports complex back to the table.

The school board tonight is also slated to discuss the resignation of longtime Board President Cinde Thomas-Jimenez. Jimenez, for the last few years, has served as the board president and until recently, declined another nomination for the position.

On top of accepting her resignation, trustees will be

considering their options for filling the seat being left behind in District 3. Other items on the agenda tonight include a bond update on all existing bond projects -- more specifically progress for the final year of renovation at A.J. Briesemeister Middle School. The district also looks to consider and approve a contract with PB Group for architectural design and construction phase services for both the construction of a new elementary campus and renovation at Barnes Middle School. Both of these bond projects are the newest ones approved by voters in November.

The meeting gets underway at 6:30 p.m. in the Seguin ISD Board Room located in Central Offices in Oak Park Mall.
