PNGISD bond Proposition A approved by voters; board certifies $75 million measure
Summary
The Port Neches-Groves ISD Board of Trustees certified the Nov. 4 bond election on Nov. 13, declaring Proposition A (up to $75 million for facilities and school buses) passed by a margin of 1,568 to 1,375 and adopting Jefferson County returns.
Port Neches-Groves Independent School District voters approved Proposition A on Nov. 4, 2025, and the board formally canvassed and certified the bond results at a Nov. 13 special meeting.
Trustee Scott Bartlett "made a motion to adopt the attached resolution canvassing the results of the November 4, 20205 bond election," which Jake Lefort seconded; the board voted 6-0 to adopt the resolution. The resolution records that Proposition A — authorizing the issuance of up to $75,000,000 in school building bonds and the levy of a tax sufficient to pay principal and interest — passed by a vote of 1,568 FOR to 1,375 AGAINST and includes the early, election-day and absentee vote breakdowns.
The resolution explicitly labels the proposition as a tax increase in the ballot language and lists purpose language for the bonds: designing, constructing, renovating, improving, upgrading, updating, acquiring, and equipping school facilities and purchasing new school buses. The vote breakdown recorded in the resolution shows Early Votes: For 910, Against 765; Absentee Votes: For 4, Against 6; Election Day Votes: For 654, Against 604; Total For 1,568, Total Against 1,375. The board's action adopts the Jefferson County unofficial returns as the basis for certification.
The resolution also finds that notice and open-meeting requirements were met, and it states the resolution is in force and effect from and after its final passage. The board authorized routine ministerial execution steps for the resolution; no additional implementation specifics were recorded at the special meeting.
