Board votes to call Birdville ISD bond election for May 2, 2026
Summary
The Birdville ISD board unanimously approved an order calling a bond election for May 2, 2026, after trustees and staff thanked a committee that spent months developing the referendum and outlined upgrades to aging district facilities.
The Birdville ISD board voted unanimously to approve an order calling a bond election for May 2, 2026, the board president announced. The motion to call the election was moved and seconded and passed by raised hands.
Trustees and staff thanked members of the bond committee for several months of work assembling the proposal. During discussion trustees said the bond would fund upgrades across elementary, middle and high school buildings, transportation, athletics, fine arts and technology, and address aging facilities built during the district's mid-20th-century building boom.
"People came from the North, south, East, and West to meet and to hear information and to put this together," the president said, thanking the committee and community for their participation. A trustee said the bond would help address facilities built in the late 1950s and early 1960s that "were built for different times for different kids." Another trustee praised staff for months of evening work to prepare the proposal.
The order calls a May 2, 2026 bond election; the motion text and the board's unanimous raised-hand approval were recorded during the special meeting. The board did not specify a bond amount, ballot language or a detailed project cost breakdown during the special meeting; those details were not specified in the transcript.
The board will consider the bond and related materials in advance of the district's election calendar; a regular board meeting was announced for Thursday, Feb. 26 with open session at 7 p.m.
