Bond 2023 Timeline
The projects included in the bond are based on recommendations from the Royal Facilities Advisory Committee (FAC).
The committee, a diverse group of parents, employees, business owners, and taxpayers met over several months to examine facility needs, costs, and prioritize projects.
The FAC came to consensus on the final package and presented the recommendation to the Royal ISD Board of Trustees for consideration at the December 12, 2022, school board meeting.
Royal ISD has attempted bonds in 2019, 2020, and 2021 unsuccessfully.
January 17, 2023, the Royal ISD Board of Trustees approved calling a May 6, 2023, bond election in the total amount of $144,420,530.
The 2023 bond addresses district wide safety and security, new construction, renovations and remodels, existing facilities, technology infrastructure, and stadium improvements.
In accordance with law, the bond is split into two propositions:
Proposition A for $138,069,530, which covers general projects
Proposition B for $6,351,000, which covers stadium improvements
The election will be May 6, 2023, with early voting April 24 through May 2.
