Voters in Pilot Point Independent School District are being asked to decide whether to approve a school bond to fund the construction of new schools and districtwide renovations.
Documents published by the district reveal that taxpayers will pay nearly twice the amount seen on the ballot—$295 million—after interest is added. In total, the bond will cost taxpayers $566,938,263.
The proposed bond will appear as Proposition A on the ballot.
The district has posted a breakdown of how funds from the bond would be used if passed:
- $192.6 million for the Phase 1 construction of a new high school and updating classrooms.
- $76.5 million for the construction of a new elementary school and updating classrooms.
- $25.9 million to fund projects and updates for school buildings in the district.
The district reports that it currently has $60,452,825 in outstanding debt.
On the bond website, the district estimates that the proposed bond will increase the current I&S tax rate from $0.20 to $0.50—the maximum debt service rate allowed by state law.
This will increase taxes on an average home valued at $350,000 by approximately $630 per year.
Financial records for Yes for Pilot Point ISD Kids, the political action committee backing the proposed bond, show strong support from construction companies and an architecture firm.
Authers Building Group, Core Construction, Pogue Construction, and LPA Inc. are the largest contributors to the PAC.
Core Construction ranks first in the U.S. for construction of K-12 facilities, having completed more than 2,000 active campuses. The company also topped the rankings of the largest school building contractors in the nation.
Voters have the opportunity to either approve or reject the proposed debt package on the May 2, 2026, ballot.
