The new year is bringing changes to the face of Pittsburg ISD. Thanks to the $10 million bond election passed by voters in 2013, schools will continue to get much-needed updates. 
According to Superintendent Judy Pollan, several smaller projects were completed in 2013. These included a new parking lot and lights at the Primary School, new fencing and canopies at the Intermediate School, and new canopies at the Life Skills building. 
“We tried to get as much done as we could without architects, because they are so expensive. We are required to have architects on these bigger construction projects,” Mrs. Pollan said. 
Mrs. Pollan indicated that the previous  lack of canopies had been a major problem during inclement weather. 
“In the past, we have had to use umbrellas to get the students to their parent’s car when it is raining. That was not a very good system and it took forever to move them one kid at time,” she said.
