Proposition A Growth & Existing Schools

Our community is growing; we see it every day when we go out to the grocery stores or visit local restaurants. That growth is also happening in our schools. The last time we had a successful bond was 2015 and MISD enrollment was 8,443 students. And in the fall of 2025, we have already seen our enrollment reach more than 11,575 students and we have had 640 more students riding the bus this year than last year. All of these new students and families mean more of everything—for example, classroom spaces and buses.
 

The 600-800 wing of Midlothian High School was built in 1970. And Frank Seale Middle School was built in 1985. School facilities are used by hundreds and thousands of students every day during the school year. Restrooms, floors, fixtures, finishes and elevators get wear and tear. In addition, our roofs, HVAC, parking lots, sidewalks and driveways are subject to the effects of hot and cold weather and usage all year long.

PROPOSITION A: Projects that Address Growth

  • New Elementary School #9 in Goodland
  • Transportation Facility Addition and Renovation
  • Ag Facility Renovation and Expansion

**What are Capital Improvements? Infrastructure items like HVAC, roofing, flooring, lighting, painting, and paving and grading. Proposed projects at each location vary. 

 

Technology Infrastructure

A portion of the proposal presented in Proposition A addresses technology equipment that is not a handheld/portable student or staff device. Technology Infrastructure (wiring, power supply, servers, routers, software, mounted interactive boards, etc.) is necessary to deliver instruction, conduct state-required testing, and ensure the safety and security of staff, students, and facilities. 

What’s Included?

  • Equipment to Address Reliability, Speed, and Connectivity
    • Replace security video storage systems at end of life
    • Add Uninterruptible Power Supply systems
    • Replace switches and wireless equipment on all campuses and data centers
  • Equipment to Address Safety and Security
    • Upgrade safety, security, and cybersecurity capabilities
    • Replace cameras at all campuses
    • Purchase and install internet protocol speakers with clock and strobe to replace analog speakers in classrooms
    • Replace access control software
  • Equipment for Classroom Instruction
    • Interactive boards (affixed to the structure, not portable)

Technology Infrastructure is included in Proposition A and is part of a bond proposal that will not require an increase to the current tax rate. For voters aged 65 and older, school taxes are never affected as long as exemptions are on file with the local appraisal district.
