The decision to call for a bond came after a recommendation from the district’s facility planning committee, made up of 50 commu- nity members, parents, business leaders and elected officials. Should the bond not pass, Morris said the district would be forced into difficult deci- sion-making to respond to the rapid student enrollment growth, such as shifting existing boundaries or adding portable buildings. While this bond package goes to Novem- ber ballots, MISD opened two new schools in August as part of its 2022 bond projects— Magnolia Parkway Intermediate School and Magnolia Parkway Junior High School. Updates to MISD’s baseball and softball fields also appeared on the ballot for the 2022 bond, but voters denied it at the time, as it failed to pass with 60.36% of votes in opposition, according to prior reporting.
“We’ve already grown 3% this year. We are already ahead of the demographic projection for this year in terms of student enrollment group.” ERICH MORRIS, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF OPERATIONS, MAGNOLIA ISD
