Facility Advisory Committee urges board to consider May 2026 bond election to fund elementary and districtwide projects
Summary
Members of the Facility Advisory Committee recommended the Board consider calling a May 2026 bond election to fund major projects at BMS and RJ Richey Elementary and address districtwide facility needs; the board made no motion and will discuss the recommendation at a special meeting Feb. 2.
Members of the Facility Advisory Committee presented a multi-meeting recommendation that the Burnet CISD Board of Trustees consider calling a bond election in May 2026 to fund major projects at Burnet Middle School and R.J. Richey Elementary as well as key districtwide facility needs.
"the committee recommended that the Board consider calling for a bond election in May 2026 to fund major projects at BMS and RJ Richey Elementary, along with key district-wide facility needs," the minutes record. Committee members told trustees the recommendation reflects planning from six committee meetings held over the prior months.
Board members did not move or vote on the recommendation during the Jan. 19 meeting. Superintendent Dr. Pe— later told the board there will be a special called meeting on Monday, Feb. 2, 2026, to discuss and possibly approve the Facility Advisory Committee's recommendation.
If the board votes to call the election at the special meeting, voters would decide whether to authorize the district to sell bonds to fund the projects; the minutes do not list a bond amount, project scope documents, or a proposed tax-rate impact. Those details will need to be presented to the board and the public before any election is called.
