Williamson County voters supported the bond 65 percent to 35 percent, while Travis County voters approved it 69 percent to 31 percent. According to LISD’s statement, the bond will allow the district to support growth with:
- four new schools in four years;
- the purchase of land for nine schools;
- expansions to Leander Middle School and Vandegrift High School;
- expanding space for career programs in high schools;
- and replacing outdated technology.
