Background

​The Evant Independent School District Board of Trustees has called a bond election for May 2, 2026. The purpose of the bond is to address safety, operational efficiency, and deferred maintenance needs within the district’s aging facilities.

​

The proposal was developed by the Facility Planning Committee, which includes representatives from the community. The committee met over several months to assess facility conditions and prioritize the district’s needs. This effort is part of a process that began two years ago, which included programming meetings, facility studies, and community input.

​

If approved by voters, the bond will finance electrical and plumbing system improvements, restroom renovations, HVAC replacements, and flooring installations (which will require asbestos abatement). The total proposed bond amount is $5.98 million.

​

According to the district’s financial advisor, issuing $5.98 million in bonds would result in a tax rate increase of $0.19 per $100 of property valuation. Additional information, including a tax-impact calculator, will be available on the district’s website.

​

Evant ISD encourages all eligible voters to participate in the bond election on May 2, 2026.
