Magnolia ISD looks to future after voters pass Proposition A
On May 2, Magnolia ISD voters passed a $465 million bond—Proposition A—which aims to address student overcrowding and district growth. The measure passed with 63.51% of the vote, while 36.49% of the votes were against the bond. By the numbers As previously reported, MISD’s Proposition A will fund the construction of three new schools, along with security, maintenance, and land and bus purchases. Back in 2025, the district attempted to pass a larger bond package, but it failed to pass. Per MISD o cials, last November, only 13% of parents in the district voted on the proposed bond measure. To address the low turnout in the May 2 election, the district held multiple community events informing locals on the need for the bonds to pass this upcoming election cycle. MISD Chief Communications O cer Denise Meyers said that an estimated 25% of parents voted in this election cycle.
What’s next MISD Superintendent Jason Bullock said construction on Elementary School No. 10 and the new high school is set to begin as soon as possible, as the high school construction will take the most time. Other projects from the bond will take priority as well, including maintenance and security updates and new bus purchases. On May 12, MISD trustees approved Stewart Builders Inc. and B&C Constructors LP as the construction managers-at-risk for several of the district’s 2026 bond projects and approved purchasing around 100 acres of land located along the east line of FM 1486 for High School No. 3. Bullock said “gratefulness” is the word he and the school board would use to describe themselves after seeing the bond successfully pass May 2. “We wanted as many people ... as possible to come out and have their voice be heard, whichever way they chose to vote,” Bullock said.
Results breakdown MISD’s bond is made up of a single proposition— Proposition A—and is a revised version of the three-proposition bond the district put in front of voters in November, which failed to pass.
