Hudson to expand high school facilities
Hudson ISD trustees have given the go-ahead for an expansion project at the high school to get under way.
During a special meeting held June 29, the board approved the construction, which will add seven to nine new classrooms.
HISD Superintendent Mary Ann Whiteker said the addition, which is scheduled for completion next summer, will help the district handle the 3- to 6-percent growth the district is experiencing.
"Right now the growth is in the lower grades, so we are preparing for the students as they move through to the high school," she said.
Whiteker said the district qualified for a Qualified Zone Academy Bond loan, which is an interested-free loan for the expansion project.
In addition to the upcoming construction, the Hudson board also approved the 2006-07 student code of conduct.

Interest rates on existing and new federal college loans will rise dramatically on July 1. The interest rate on Stafford loans will rise from 5.3 to 7.14 percent on existing loans and to 6.8 percent on new loans. This will mean $2,000 in additional interest payments for the typical undergraduate borrower who currently graduates with $17,500 in debt.
Gregory Cendana,a UCLA Sociology Major said, "I needed to work two jobs in the summer and most of the school year to ensure that I was able to afford the high fees.
