SPRINGTOWN, Texas — Voters rallied and approved the $98 million Springtown ISD bond election on May 3, 2025.
Preliminary results, which will become official when the Springtown ISD Board of Trustees canvases the votes, show that 50.7% of voters favored the proposition.
Projects within the bond will allow the district to address its rapid growth and ease overcrowded classrooms. The district adds about 200 new homes each year.
“We are deeply appreciative of everyone who came out and supported the district,” Superintendent Shane Strickland said. “We are thankful our community recognized the challenges facing our schools and took action to vote.”
Projects funded by the bond include a new elementary school, renovations to Springtown Elementary, a science and Career and Technology Education (CTE) addition for Springtown Middle School, upgraded CTE equipment and facilities, safety and security, and new buses.
Springtown ISD has a reputation for sound financial practices. The district has received the highest rating for financial management by the state and is recognized for excellence in budget accountability and transparency.
The district will now get to work on the next steps and begin coordinating with architects to conduct a competitive bidding process for each project, as well as finalizing a construction schedule and working with district financial advisors to establish a bond program schedule.
“We’re grateful to our community for all the support they provide to our schools, our students, and staff,” said Strickland. “This is a wonderful community that I’m proud to serve.”
