Tomball ISD brought its $275 million bond referendum before voters on Tuesday to address anticipated enrollment growth on the south side of the district from 2018 to 2022. According to unofficial early voting results in Harris and Montgomery counties, 967 of 1,396 voters—69 percent of early voters—approved the bond referendum.

All results are unofficial until canvassed.

The bond referendum includes plans for two new schools, campus renovations, new facilities and additional technology and buses with no planned property tax rate increase, according to TISD officials.

The two new schools, which would be located in southern TISD, would relieve Willow Wood Junior High School and Wildwood Elementary School, TISD Director of Communications Staci Stanfield previously said.

Additional bond projects include funds for an expansion to Tomball Memorial High School, 20 additional buses for new bus routes, a natatorium at Tomball Memorial High School, an agriculture project barn and auditorium renovations at Tomball High School, turf additions to baseball and softball fields, land acquisition, instructional technology and a new districtwide football stadium.
