The Courier of Montgomery County reports a lot of voter activity at Montgomery County polling centers for the elections on November 7th, and that Conroe ISD’s $1.9 billion bond package attracted several voters. The package is comprised of four propositions that, according to district officials, will deal with the increasing growth at CISD facilities.
Of the four propositions, one was not approved—Proposition D. The proposition would have funded $22.9 million to construct a new pool and the remodeling of CISD’s natatorium close to Woodforest Stadium. The opposition just barely got their way at 50.76 % of the vote on it.
Proposition A was approved with 61.08% voting on it, supporting the biggest cost which was new school construction and extensive remodeling. There will be eight new school facilities built along with eight additional renovations and additions at a cost of $1.8 billion.
Passing with 58.34% of the proposition voters approving it was Proposition B, which funds technology like laptop and desktop computers and iPads at a cost of $40 million.
Proposition C provides funding for 16 PE classrooms and a third agricultural barn. The proposition was approved with 58.75% of those voting on it.
The district’s tax rate will rise 2 cents due to approval of the bond.
