During the July 24 special meeting, seven members of the bond steering committee recommend three propositions.
The details
Proposition A would authorize $1.3 billion in funding for middle school renovations, fine arts equipment, transportation and construction of a Career and Technology Education center.
Proposition B would allocate $54 million to replace tablets for teachers and students and Proposition C would provide $7.4 million to add Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant stadium seating and improve access to the stands.
Proposition A accounts for 95.6% of the proposed bond package, with Proposition B making up 3.9%, and Proposition C comprising the remaining 0.5%.
What’s next
The board of trustees will consider a resolution to call the bond election during its Aug. 7 regular meeting, Superintendent Tabitha Branum said. If approved, each proposition will appear on the ballot in the November election.
To cover the bond, a $0.04 increase will be applied to the debt services portion of the property tax rate beginning in fiscal year 2026-27, assistant superintendent David Pate said.
