Sanger ISD Board calls Bond Election to address growth

During Monday night’s meeting, the Sanger ISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted to call a bond election to address the district's enrollment growth, which is expected to more than double by the 2035 school year, reaching more than 6,400 students. The Board's approval of the 2026 bond package is based on recommendations from the 37-member Long Range Facilities Planning Committee. The committee reviewed demographics, growth and enrollment patterns, tax impact scenarios, district finances, educational programs, and the district's current and long-term needs to ultimately develop a recommendation to present to the Board of Trustees. This proposal is based on their recommendation. If approved by voters, the bond will impact campuses across the district. The projects include new construction and additions to prevent overcrowding and reliance on portable buildings, safety and security, technology updates, and additional buses to meet Sanger ISD's growing student population.

"This bond proposal is a direct response to the growth in our community," said Sanger ISD Superintendent Dr. Tommy Hunter. "We must plan now to ensure all our current and future students continue to have access to safe schools and quality learning spaces". The Sanger ISD bond proposal will appear on the ballot for voters' approval this May. Election Day is Saturday, May 2nd, and early voting begins on Monday, April 20th.
