The district formed a bond planning committee in October to assess Brazosport ISD's needs, engage with the community and develop recommendations for the board. The committee includes parents, teachers, community members, district staff and business leaders. “The committee’s primary objective was to assess district needs by evaluating current facilities, infrastructure and educational requirements to establish priorities for a future bond proposal,” Chief Financial Officer Rebecca Kelley said. Trustees received a progress report from the committee during its meeting Monday night. The hope is to have a project list finished in time for the request to be on the May 3 ballot. The 2025 bond request is estimated to be $167 million. About 58 percent of the total, or $96.9 million, would go for interior and exterior improvements, including electrical, plumbing and mechanical-related items for facilities. Brazosport High School, Brazoswood High School’s Ninth Grade Center, Clute Intermediate, Lake Jackson Intermediate, Gladys Polk Elementary and Grady Rasco Middle School all need roof replacements. Funds are also needed to demolish the old Brazoswood Natatorium and address the structural issues, Kelley said. “Funds are also included to construct the vestibule and taxi lane at FIS,” Kelley said. About 5 percent of the proposed list, or $7.8 million, would provide safety and security-related improvements, security cameras and gun detection software. About $18.1 million would cover cover curriculum and instructional resources, Kelley said. “This is an area where we can now build in the cost of instructional software that we pay for annually, which will help elevate the general fund deficit,” she said. Furniture replacement is needed at Brazosport High School, Clute Intermediate, Freeport Intermediate, Lake Jackson Intermediate and Lanier Elementary/Middle School, and extracurricular programs, including band, athletics and fine arts, would receive about $3.79 million. Technology needs would receive $23.5 million, which would go toward replacing Chromebooks, computers for staff and classroom projections. Groundskeeping, custodial, service vehicles and fire and alarm system upgrades would receive $9.2 million. and $3.7 million would be used for transportation, including a new school bus and fueling station. Child nutrition would get about 2.5 percent of the bond for kitchen equipment and to replace the department's vehicle. The committee had three meetings to review the bond programs' history, during which members reviewed tax rates and changes to legal propositions since the voters approved the 2019 bond program that awarded $267 million to address new construction, new facilities, maintenance, safety and security. The approval rate was 78.67 percent. “Bond programs are vital to funding public schools,” Kelley said. “They provide a mechanism separate from the maintenance and operation budget to construct and maintenance facilities, along with purchasing capital equipment needed to continue to operate the district.” It has helped the fine arts, career and technology programs and athletic needs, she said. The board received a progress report on the 2019 bond program during its meeting. Much of the planned projects have been completed, Director of Planning and Construction Alec Journeay said. “As of December 11, we have total P.O.’s issued of $260,526,000 and approximately 89.4 percent completed or in progress,” he said. Journeay discussed the Brazoswood High School pool replacement. The outdoor pool will be behind the school near Mammoth Lake and feature a 25-meter by 25-meter competition area with three additional lanes for warmups. It will be temperature-controlled and include two diving boards, a scoreboard and exterior lighting, according to district documents. Security measures will include a perimeter fence and video cameras. The pool also will have a dedicated equipment building with two restrooms, and bleachers will be installed to accommodate fans during events. Brazosport ISD trustees approved $7.622 million with Stewart Builders as the construction manager at-risk for the project. The money is being reallocated from the 2019 bond program, district officials have said. A temporary driveway was built, and grass was cut in the proposed pool area. “They are currently working on their layouts for the mechanical, electrical and all that,” Journeay said. Jouneay discussed additions and renovations for the child nutrition, maintenance and transportation departments. Part of the update includes staff and bus parking. Bus parking will be restriped, and staff parking will relocated behind Freeport Intermediate. A new building for child nutrition, maintenance and transportation will have an efficient and spacious interior. The district is in the documents review part of the project with an estimated completion by August 2026. “I do want to thank Mr. Journeay for all his dedicated service to our district,” Superintendent Danny Massey said. “He’s literally touched every single facility in our district; he’s touched a lot of them more times than once.”tn777 。

Appalachian State hires South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains as head coachNyakach residents urged to unite against rising insecurity

India News Today Live Updates on December 4, 2024 : E-auction of sick business assets on dedicated platform may become compulsory

Telecommunications company Verizon Communications ( VZ -0.42% ) is the largest wireless carrier in the United States, with over 37% of the market. The company is also an outstanding dividend stock with a 6.2% dividend yield today and an ongoing streak of 18 consecutive annual dividend raises. So, if you're looking for passive income to cover your living expenses or to reinvest and supercharge your portfolio's compounding, Verizon is a great candidate for you right now. But what about moving forward? The telecom industry is notoriously competitive among the few companies that dominate the U.S. market, and there's a constant need to spend to maintain and upgrade the vast infrastructure that makes wireless communications work. Here is what investors can expect from the stock over the next five years. Subscriber momentum is trending upward Consumers make Verizon's business go: Consumer wireless and wireline (Fios fiber optic services and landline phone connections) account for about 75% of the company's total revenue. Subscriber growth is critical because the industry is ruthlessly price competitive; acquiring customers is the best route to growth. Verizon's subscriber activity is lumpy. For example, Q4 is generally a big quarter due to the purchases consumers tend to make during the holidays (and the new iPhone usually launches in the fall). As you can see, subscriber losses have trended lower since Q1, turning positive this past quarter: Verizon acquired TracFone, a leading prepaid phone carrier with 20 million users at the time, in late 2021. However, Verizon has bled prepaid customers since closing the acquisition. It's encouraging to see Verizon slowly stem those losses and return to prepaid customer growth in Q3. However, Verizon's growth outlook is still limited Verizon has growth opportunities in fiber optics (Fios) and edge computing . As more devices connect to networks, they must transmit more data faster. This spans across the economy, from factory equipment to autonomous vehicles. Verizon is gradually expanding its Fios services, including fiber optic internet, allowing far higher bandwidth. The company has agreed to acquire Frontier Communications , the country's largest pure-play fiber provider, for $20 billion to expand its fiber optics footprint. Post-acquisition close, Verizon will have approximately 25 million fiber customers, with a 2028 goal of 30 million and a long-term goal of between 35 million and 40 million. Despite this opportunity, Verizon's mature consumer business (75% of total revenue) will likely continue to limit the company's broader growth prospects. Analysts recently raised their long-term earnings growth estimates but still anticipate just 2.4% annualized growth over the long term. What will the next five years look like? Verizon's lacking growth will ultimately make the stock a poor fit for investors who want to maximize their total investment returns. The good news is that Verizon's dividend remains on solid footing. Verizon's dividend payout ratio is 59% of 2024 earnings estimates, so there's room for the company to continue increasing its dividend over the coming years. Verizon's dividend has only grown by an average of 2% annually over the past five years, and I'd expect that pace to continue, given Verizon's similar growth prospects. Meanwhile, the stock trades at 9 to 10 times 2024 earnings estimates , which seems cheap compared to the broader market -- the S&P 500 trades at 23 times earnings. Again, Verizon's slow growth is the culprit. The reality is that Verizon's probably fully valued at its current price, perhaps even a touch expensive at a PEG ratio of 3.1 today. In that case, investors can expect mid- to high-single-digit annualized investment returns over the next five years. You'll get about 6% from the dividend plus another 2% in earnings growth, though any fluctuations in valuation could impact those returns. That makes Verizon attractive for retirees and other conservative, income-focused investors, but it is probably a pass for others.

BOONE, N.C. (AP) — South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains has been hired as head coach at Appalachian State and will receive a five-year contract, athletic director Doug Gillin announced Saturday. The 44-year-old Loggains replaces Shawn Clark, who was fired Monday after the Mountaineers finished 5-6 for their first losing season since 2013. Loggains was South Carolina's offensive coordinator for two seasons and an assistant at Arkansas, his alma mater, for two seasons before that. He spent 16 years in the NFL as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Tennessee, Cleveland, Chicago, Miami and the New York Jets. “He brings experience as a leader and play-caller at the highest levels of professional and college football," Gillin said. "He is a great recruiter and believes strongly in building relationships. He is aligned with our core values of academic integrity, competitive excellence, social responsibility and world-class experience. This is a great day for App State.” Loggains' offense at South Carolina featured LaNorris Sellers, one of the nation's top dual-threat quarterbacks, and running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders. Sellers and Sanders led the Southeastern Conference's third-ranked rushing offense. Loggains spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons as Arkansas' tight ends coach, and he worked with Sam Darnold, Jay Cutler, Mitchell Trubisky, Brian Hoyer and Vince Young during his time in the NFL. The Mountaineers, the preseason favorites in the Sun Belt Conference's East Division, tied for fifth with a 3-5 record in league play. App State was 40-24 under Clark, but the Mountaineers have failed to reach a bowl game two of the past three seasons. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
