Slaton ISD bond Proposition A passes; district outlines 30-day pause and next steps

The Slaton Independent School District board confirmed that Proposition A in the recent bond election passed and outlined the near-term steps the district will take to move the measure toward financing. Art Martin, the district chief financial officer, told the board that "Proposition A passed. There is a 30-day period before the district is able to move forward with the bond." The board declared the election results valid after canvassing returns.

Martin said the district has received preliminary property values and expects certified values by July 25, 2026; the district plans to work with architects and financial advisors and target bond marketing after certification. Board members also asked administration to schedule coordination meetings with city officials, including Wade Wilson and Mayor Cliff Shaw, to discuss next steps and project timing. The board recorded no action from closed session and will return to bond implementation scheduling after the 30-day statutory period.
