Wimberley ISD Facility Task Force recommends $135 million bond for May 2025 election
Summary
A community task force recommended the Wimberley ISD board call a May 2025 bond election to fund $135 million in facility upgrades including theater improvements, a multi-purpose covered space, parking at Danforth Junior High, and high school/athletic upgrades.
The Facility Task Force recommended that the Wimberley Independent School District Board of Trustees call a bond election in May 2025 to fund $135 million in facility improvements, Task Force members told the board during the Jan. 13 meeting. The projects the group presented included theater and arts department upgrades, a multi-purpose covered space, parking improvements at Danforth Junior High, and proposed high school campus and athletic upgrades.
Task Force members said their recommendation followed polling and a process that required a 75% consensus among members. Financial details and an explanation of tax-rate implications were presented to trustees; the Task Force also flagged transportation needs and potential future land purchases. Superintendent Dr. Bonewald and trustees discussed timelines, the Facility Condition Index used to prioritize campuses, and how new debt would affect personal tax rates if approved. The Task Force did not request a formal vote at the meeting; the board was asked to review the recommendation before deciding whether to call the election.
