Magnolia ISD approves putting $465.68M bond package on May election ballot

At its Feb. 9 school board meeting, the Magnolia ISD board approved sending a $465.68 million bond proposition to help with the construction of new campus facilities on the ballot in the May 2 election.

What's changed: As previously reported by Community Impact, MISD proposed bond propositions back in November, but locals voted them down. While the original three propositions totaled $516.92 million, the proposition approved Feb. 9 is $51.24 million less than the total bond proposed in November due to removing Propositions B and C. On the May 2 election ballot, Proposition A is $465.68 million and would be used for projects including:

  • High School No. 3: $304.75 million
  • Elementary No. 10: $53.97 million
  • Elementary No. 11: $57.75 million
  • Safety and security: $7.08 million
  • Land acquisition: $12 million
  • Buses: $5.91 million
  • Priority maintenance: $24.2 million
