There are four proposals voters can vote on.
ROUND ROCK, Texas — Round Rock voters are voting on a nearly $1 billion bond for Round Rock ISD.
There are four separate proposals voters can vote on.
Proposition A is $798 million Proposition B is $125.3 million Proposition C is $8.6 million Proposition D is $65.9 million
The largest proposal, Proposition A, would cover the cost of renovating aging schools.
Dr. Hafed Azaiz is the director.
“Major roof replacements, HVAC buildings, new structures, we can’t do these things on a day-to-day budget,” Azaiz said.
The proposal also calls for the demolition of several buildings.
Proposition B focuses on instructional techniques. Proposition C would be directed toward improving the fine arts. Prop D is for the athletic field, which includes a new scoreboard and multipurpose athletic facility.
If the bond passes, the school district would borrow money for the project and pay off the debt over time with property tax revenue. While this is not a tax increase, some have expressed concerns about how this will affect the district’s finances.
Voters KVUE spoke with on Wednesday, like Ken Anderson, said they voted yes, even though the bond is very high.
“I don’t know of any other way to fund school construction other than bonds,” Anderson said.
Voters can vote for one, all, or none of these proposals on the ballot.
