Election 2025 In the News

 

TEMPLE, Texas — Tonight, at the regularly scheduled meeting, the Temple Independent School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved two propositions to be included in the November election. The two proposals will appear on the November ballot as Proposition A and Proposition B. 

 

The two proposals were developed based on state legislative requirements for safety and security, continued growth in the district, and feedback gathered from a series of meetings with parents, business leaders, spiritual leaders, and various community groups. “These plans, from start to finish, were designed by our parents and stakeholders with an eye towards student safety, responding to growth without using portable buildings, and being fiscally responsible,” said Dr. Bobby Ott, Superintendent of Temple ISD. Both propositions together represent the lowest community asking in over 13 years and levy the rate a total of a little over one penny.

 

Proposition A addresses security needs within the district and would generate $2.75 million. Key items would include:

 

Proposition B addresses additional classrooms due to continued growth for $119.7 million. The most significant projects include:

 

“These propositions are addressing the most basic and essential needs of our school system – safety and seats – and are not asking for fluff. This plan was developed over the course of the last few years by our parents, business leaders, community members, and spiritual leaders,” said Board of Trustees President Dan Posey. “As always, Temple ISD will continue our parent and community engagement efforts in planning and developing a school system that meets our community’s expectations.”
