Magnolia ISD will ask residents to vote on a single-proposition $465,000,000 bond on May 2 that the district says is intended to address accelerated student growth and aging building systems. A staff member announcing the proposal said the bond would fund construction of a third high school, two new elementary schools and districtwide safety and security upgrades.
The announcement said the package also would pay for land for future school sites, new school buses and priority maintenance projects. "The $465,000,000 proposal is designed to address accelerated student growth and aging building systems," the staff member said, summarizing the district's rationale for asking voters to approve the measure.
The communication provided a schedule for voting: early voting is listed as beginning April 20 and running through late April, with the announcement naming April 27 and April 28 as the last days of early voting; the district set election day for May 2. For details on the bond proposal, the ballot language and voting locations, the speaker directed residents to the district's website.
If voters approve the bond, the district would be able to begin planning and phasing the projects described in the announcement; the statement did not include a detailed project timeline, cost breakdown by component, or the tax impact for homeowners. Those details were not specified in the announcement and would typically appear in official voter information and ballot materials on the district's website.
