Pilot Point ISD is experiencing continued enrollment growth and has identified facility projects that include new construction, renovations, and deferred maintenance. Many existing buildings require updates to support modern learning environments and to maintain aging building systems. A bond allows the district to plan for long-term facility projects that cannot be funded through the annual operating budget.

State law restricts how Maintenance & Operations (M&O) funds can be used. M&O funds pay for day-to-day expenses such as salaries, utilities, and supplies. Large-scale construction, renovations, and major facility improvements must be funded through voter-approved bond funds.

If the bond does not pass, Pilot Point ISD would continue operating existing facilities and address only the most critical needs as funding allows. Major projects such as new schools and large-scale renovations would be delayed, and the district would have fewer options to address enrollment growth and aging facilities.

If approved, project planning would begin after the May 2026 election. Construction would occur in phases over multiple years, based on project readiness, enrollment needs, and available bond capacity.

The bond projects were developed through a multi-year planning process that included a community committee and multiple Board of Trustees discussions. Committee members reviewed enrollment projections, facility assessments, project concepts, and cost and tax scenarios. Their work informed the recommendation presented to the Board of Trustees.

No. Bond funds may only be used for the projects approved by voters.

The district leadership and school board will continue to monitor growth in the district before a final decision is made about the location of the new elementary. This school is scheduled to open in approximately five years, which allows for more time for review and discussion.
