The Board of Trustees of the Midway Independent School District voted Aug. 18 to call an $83.5 million bond election for Nov. 4, 2025, and specified the measure would go forward without increasing the districts interest-and-sinking (I&S) tax rate. "I move to call for an $83.5 million bond election with no increase in the I&S tax rate in November," President Pete Rusek said when making the motion; Colin Witt seconded and the motion carried 7-0.
Board members reviewed whether to place a bond on a November or May ballot and reached consensus to proceed in November.
