Midway ISD trustees prioritize maintenance, safety and technology in $83.5M bond, delay growth projects
Summary
Trustees agreed Aug. 18 to center a proposed $83.5 million bond on deferred maintenance, safety upgrades, technology and district needs, and to postpone growth-related projects and new construction pending a later proposal or election.
At a special meeting on Aug. 18, the Midway ISD Board of Trustees reviewed possible timing for a bond election and agreed the initial package should emphasize maintenance and safety over new construction. The board discussed putting a bond on a November or May ballot and "the consensus of the Board was in favor of calling for a bond in November," according to the meeting record.
Trustees said the bond package will focus on deferred maintenance, safety, technology and district needs, while postponing growth needs and new construction projects. The meeting minutes do not list line-item project costs or a breakdown of how the $83.5 million would be allocated; district staff are expected to finalize proposition language and cost estimates before public outreach and election logistics proceed.
