The Taylor ISD community has voted to approve both Proposition A, the school bond, and Proposition B, the school funding election (VATRE).
The passage of both propositions marks a significant investment in Taylor ISD’s students, staff, and schools. Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Garcia-Edwardsen expressed her gratitude for the community’s support and confidence in the district’s vision for the future.
“Taylor ISD is deeply grateful for the overwhelming support of our community,” Dr. Garcia said. “Because of this commitment, we will be able to address facility and security needs across the district, including long-overdue renovations and a new multipurpose facility at Taylor High School that will prepare us for the years ahead.”
Proposition A funds classroom and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S.T.E.M.) spaces; a multi-purpose addition at THS, including an auditorium, rehearsal, and instructional spaces; safety and technology improvements; and facility upgrades across the District.
Proposition B will bring in additional funding that supports student programs and opportunities, classroom resources and support, keeping class sizes small, and school staffing.
“The passing of Proposition B provides a competitive edge for Taylor ISD,” Dr. Garcia said. “It allows us to better support our teachers and staff while continuing to offer high-quality opportunities for our students.”
Throughout the past several months, Dr. Garcia and district leaders met with families, staff, and community members through presentations, campus tours, and public meetings.
“It has been wonderful meeting so many of you and hearing your stories,” Dr. Garcia added. “As your superintendent, community member, and mom of two Taylor ISD students, I’m proud to serve a community that continually goes above and beyond for our schools.”
“On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I want to thank our community for their trust and support,” said Board President Marco Ortiz. “These propositions are an investment in our students, teachers, and the future of Taylor ISD. We’re proud to see our community come together to move our schools forward.”
With both propositions now approved, planning and implementation efforts will begin immediately. The district will continue to provide updates to keep the community informed throughout each phase of the process.
