On the November 7 General Election, voters in Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD approved the district's $524.7 million bond proposal by more than 2:1, with 68.30 percent of voters in favor of the proposition. More than half of the bond will be used to accommodate future growth, with a portion of that money earmarked for the district's fourth comprehensive high school.
"We thank our voters for their support and for recognizing that we need to plan today to be prepared for the students who arrive tomorrow," said Dr. Jim F. Chadwell, Superintendent. "We thank the members of our bond steering committee for putting together a package that addresses student enrollment growth while also maintaining the investment in our existing facilities. Most important, we appreciate the trust our community has in their school district to effectively plan for growth and manage finances in preparation for the future."
