Magnolia ISD looks to the future after voters pass Proposition A

On May 2, Magnolia ISD voters passed a $465 million bond—Proposition A—which aims to address student overcrowding and district growth. The measure passed with 63.51% of the vote, while 36.49% of the votes were against the bond, as previously reported.

By the numbers: As previously reported by Community Impact, MISD’s Proposition A will fund the construction of three new schools in the district, along with security, maintenance, and land and bus purchases. Back in 2025, the district attempted to pass a larger bond package, but it failed to pass.

What's next: MISD Superintendent Jason Bullock provided a basic timeline of construction for the three proposed schools:

  • Elementary School No. 10: estimated completion by the 2028-29 school year
  • Elementary School No. 11: estimated completion by the 2029-30 school year
  • Third high school: estimated completion by the 2030-31 school year
