“[We are] very grateful for the support of the Liberty Hill community.

POSTED: May 6, 8:17 p.m.
With early results from Williamson County, Liberty Hill ISD voters have shown support for all three propositions of the district’s $471.1 million bond package on the May 6 ballot.
As of 7 p.m., early voting results show 79.14%, or 1,442 votes, are in favor of Proposition A; 77.85%, or 1,413 votes, are in favor of Proposition B; and 68.24%, or 1,240 votes, are in favor of Proposition C.
Proposition A would provide $459 million in funding for the district’s school facilities, which includes construction of High School No. 2, elementary schools No. 8 and No. 9, as well as renovations, new equipment and infrastructure upgrades.
At $7.1 million, Proposition B is geared toward technology for new laptops, tablets and other devices for students and staff.
Proposition C allocates $5 million to stadium facilities, which paves the way for an additional concession stand and restrooms at Panther Stadium as well as turf replacements for the field. Panther Stadium is used for a range of athletic and fine arts student organizations, such as football, track, band and the drill team.
LHISD’s 2023 bond program was primarily created to address the district’s spike in enrollment numbers, and its focus areas reflect this student growth along with safety and security, and programming expansions.
If these propositions are approved by voters, it is not expected to cause a tax rate increase for residents, according to the district.
