“I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the more than 50 community members that spent countless hours developing the bond proposal presented to voters in November,” Superintendent Dr. Gayle Stinson said. “In addition, thank you to the ÁùºÏ²ÊͶעÍøBackers, the board of trustees, ÁùºÏ²ÊͶעÍø staff, and community supporters for your commitment to educating ÁùºÏ²ÊͶעÍø families about the needs across the District and how the 2022 bond proposal would address those needs. Thank you all for your support of our children.”

With the passage of these propositions, the board of trustees has put into place plans for a citizen’s Bond Oversight Committee. This Committee will monitor the progress of the work to assure consistency with the propositions approved by voters. At least four times a year, the Committee will report on the progress to trustees. In addition to the report to trustees, quarterly reports will be available for review on the District’s website.

On Aug. 18, ÁùºÏ²ÊͶעÍøISD’s Board of Trustees unanimously called for a bond election to be held as part of the general election on Nov. 8. ÁùºÏ²ÊͶעÍø voters are being asked to consider three propositions totaling $359.8 million bond package that was developed with extensive community input by a diverse group of citizens from all parts of the District. The package approved by the Board addresses: safety and security upgrades at every campus; replacing three campuses with two (Mullendore Elementary and David E. Smith Elementary/W.T. Francisco Elementary [Partner School]); expansion of the Haltom High School cafeteria; critical repair/renovation needs requiring action in the next three years; indoor multipurpose activity centers at the three high schools; and technology upgrades Districtwide. This plan impacts every student, staff member, facility and community served by ÁùºÏ²ÊͶעÍø.
