El Reno Public Schools will host a pair of question and answer sessions, open to the public, pertaining to the upcoming bond election vote.

Voters living within the district will go to the polls Oct. 14 to decide on the proposed $69.5 million request which is broken up into two proposals. 

There are 8,287 registered voters in the district, information from the county election board shows.

State law requires 60 percent majority approval for passage of school bond issues.

A sentence in the story about Main Street's request for $50,000 from the City of El Reno should have read, council member Amy Neathery suggested the former Main Street executive committee may have known of the dire financial status of the organization, but that information may not have been shared with the entire Main Street board. The story said Main Street representatives Casey Trejo and Heather Brothers made the comment. That was not correct. 

The City of El Reno won the Municipal Innovations Award for the Filling Station project. 

The award was announced at the recent Oklahoma Municipal League Conference. 

In 1996, OML created an award to recognize cities and towns for their innovative ideas. With this award, the goal is to encourage the sharing of ideas among OML members and to celebrate the innovations of Oklahoma’s municipalities.

The Filling Station has been a must stop for tourists since first opening in early May.

Police have presented information to the district attorney’s office for possible charges after a man driving the Heritage Express Trolley apparently moved an El Reno ambulance several feet to allow the trolley to pass by.
