Initial results from Galveston County show all four propositions for Friendswood ISD are not passing, according to unofficial results.
The overview: As of 7 p.m., polls began closing across Texas, and results are starting to roll in for local elections across the state.
Friendswood ISD has four bond propositions—totaling $165 million—on the ballot:
- Proposition A: construction of school facilities, including a replacement campus for Westwood and Bales Elementary
- Proposition B: technology equipment
- Proposition C: construction of recreational facilities, including softball, baseball and practice fields at Friendswood High School
- Proposition D: refunding and refinancing of maintenance tax notes, which will be used to free up money in the district’s operational budget
The details: If the bond package passes, it would raise the district’s tax rate by $0.16 per $100 valuation of a home—about $60 per month, or $720 annually, for a home with a taxable value of $450,000.
