SISD's bond has received 183 votes in favor and 118 votes in opposition, according to early voting results published on the Montgomery County Elections Department website. Some context
SISD trustees called for the bond election during the Feb. 5 board meeting. The bond election is coming as officials plan for significant growth in the district over the next decade.
According to a spring 2024 report by demographics firm Population and Survey Analysts, the district's student population is expected to grow from roughly 5,300 students in the 2024-25 school year to 14,000 students in the 2033-34 school year.
SISD officials previously said the bond will not result in a tax rate increase, if approved by voters.
The details
If approved, the bond would include funding for the following projects:
- Splendora High School auditorium and band hall additions, health science classroom and lab renovations, and auto body shop space and athletics annex expansions
- A new junior high school
- The first phase of a districtwide support services facility
- The first phase of a livestock facility and show arena
- Land for future school sites
- Other district improvements
SISD's last bond—a $201 million package and the largest bond in the district's history—was approved by voters in 2022. The bond funded an expansion for Splendora High School, a new junior high school planned to open in August, and replacement campuses for Greenleaf and Peach Creek elementary schools.
Additionally, SISD voters have approved four other bonds since 2002.
