The Hitchcock Independent School District Board of Trustees Tuesday night voted to borrow $900,000 to pay for repairs and renovations at Crosby Middle School, improvements to district-wide technology systems and to the heating and ventilation systems at campuses throughout the district.

HISD staff said the loan from Bosc Inc., an affiliate of Bank of Oklahoma, will cost about 2.56 percent in interest.
