“So we can’t stop the growth, and I know that there are parents who’d like us to stop it, but we can’t stop it,” board Secretary Sonja Ebel said during the Feb. 9 meeting. “So all we can do is prepare for it, and so if we know the growth is happening faster and it takes four years to build a high school. ... We’re running out of time to make a decision on a bond to build the school.” As previously reported by Community Impact , MISD is set to enroll an estimated 19,304-20,492 students by the 2030-31 school year, and over 25,000 students by the 2035-36 school year. That would mean nearly 4,000 students added to the district’s population, which is 15,408 students for the 2025-26 school year. What happens next MISD officials said they will continue to inform the public on the need for the bond. Election day is May 2, and early voting runs April 20-28.

November, but locals voted them down. While the original three propositions totaled $516.92 million, the proposition approved Feb. 9 is $51.24 million less than the total bond proposed in November due to removing Propositions B and C. The discussion MISD is on the verge of overcrowding, as officials discussed at its meeting at its meeting in January. MISD officials said the district needs to approve these bonds sooner rather than later if they are going to build a new elementary and high school in time before the growth of the district catches up to them.
On the May 2 election ballot, Proposition A is $465.68 million and would be used for projects including:
High School No. 3: $304.75 million Elementary No. 10: $53.97 million Elementary No. 11: $57.75 million Priority maintenance: $24.2 million
Land acquisition: $12 million Safety and security: $7.08 million Buses: $5.91 million
