At its meeting on February 10, 2025, the Wimberley ISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted to call for a school bond election to go on the May 3, 2025 election ballot.

The Board called for the bond based on the recommendation of the Facility Needs Task Force, a group of WISD parents, community members, and staff that began meeting in September to analyze the district’s facility needs. The Task Force was charged with prioritizing over $200 million of facility projects identified by a Facility Condition Assessment that took place in the summer of 2024. After four months of meetings, the group arrived at a recommendation for a bond election to address $135 million of capital improvements and additions impacting WISD’s campuses and other district facilities.

Voters will consider four propositions, separated in accordance with state law. 

Prop A - General Growth, Safety and Rehabilitation of Facilities - $109.99 Million

Prop B - Instructional Technology - $6.05 Million

Prop C - Texan Stadium Improvements - $5.73 Million

Prop D - Shaded Multipurpose Activity Center - $13.23 Million

The 2025 Bond is the first WISD bond election since voters approved the 2018 Bond that funded the construction of Blue Hole Primary School and other district improvements.

Any registered voter who resides within the WISD attendance boundary is eligible to vote in the bond election. The deadline to register to vote is Thursday, April 3. The first day of early voting is Tuesday, April 22 and Election Day is Saturday, May 3, 2025.

Passage of all four Props is estimated to result in a 3-Cent Tax Rate increase for WISD taxpayers.
