Round Rock ISD will move forward in a different and positive direction after three bond propositions failed in Saturday’s election, Round Rock ISD spokesperson Corey Ryan said.

Superintendent Steve Flores is meeting with members of the Round Rock ISD board of trustees individually to discuss options, Ryan said. A workshop and meeting will be held Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at the administration building board room, 1311 Round Rock Ave., Round Rock.

Ryan said the meetings are the first step moving past Saturday’s election, which saw the three bond propositions fail:

Proposition 1

For: 8,261 votes (48.1 percent)

Against: 8,905 votes (51.9 percent)

Proposition 2

For: 8,061 votes (47 percent)

Against: 9,104 votes (53 percent)

Proposition 3

For: 7,296 votes (42.6 percent)

Against: 9,841 votes (57.4 percent)

“There were challenges,” Ryan said of the election. “It was a complex message with impacts on every school. The last six weeks, misinformation played a role. I think you can say that. But our goal is to get back out and get the message out there. We will focus on doing the best for every child. We go at this for every one of the 48,110 students.”

Since the election, Ryan said the district has received support to explore options to solve issues.

“We have had a good amount of emails and phone calls from people who want to be a part of whatever is next,” he said. “The community cares about the schools.”

Ryan said priorities include building repairs and renovations, refreshing outdated technology and easing overcrowding. The bond propositions included a sixth high school and 35th elementary school.

As administrators and the board of trustees work out the details of the budget, which is set to be approved in June, Ryan said the district is getting ready for 3,300 students to graduate. It’s too early, he said, to talk about any new bond propositions.

“We will see what the state will do with funding,” Ryan said. “Our leadership team is working on what to do next. We will take a deep breath and do what we need to do in the best interest of the students.”

The district will continue to focus on the students and staff on the way to finding answers, he said.

“We have a huge undertaking,” Ryan said. “We also have talented people who care across our district.”
