Royal ISD board calls $72 million bond election for May 2, 2026
Summary
The Royal ISD Board of Trustees adopted an order calling a $72,000,000 school building bond election to be held May 2, 2026; trustees urged public input on stadium materials ahead of the vote.
The Royal Independent School District Board of Trustees voted Feb. 9 to call a school building bond election for $72,000,000 to be held May 2, 2026. The motion, made by Elton Foster and seconded by Cori Vahalik, passed with all trustees voting yes.
Board members and speakers framed the bond as the funding mechanism for district facilities projects included in Bond 2023 and related planning. During discussion, Trustee Cori Vahalik urged the district to seek public input on the material to be used for the stadium, saying the community should have a say before voters decide on the bond.
The bond order sets the election date and the total authorization amount; the board did not adopt specific material selections at the Feb. 9 meeting. Next steps include information and outreach to the community ahead of the May 2 election.
