The Manor Independent School District Board of Trustees has voted unanimously to place a $385 million bond measure on the November 4, 2025 ballot. The proposed bond is aimed at improving safety, updating classrooms, and providing new technology across the district. Officials state that if approved by voters, the bond will not lead to an increase in the current tax rate for homeowners.

The bond proposal is split into three parts. Proposition A focuses on safety upgrades throughout the district, facility improvements at select campuses, and new buses for students. Proposition B would provide new technology devices for both students and staff across all schools. Proposition C proposes a fine arts addition at Manor High School Complex on FM973 to support theater and visual arts programs.

Superintendent Dr. Robert Sormani said during the meeting that careful financial planning made this possible without additional cost to homeowners. “A combination of rising property values and proactive fiscal management by the Manor ISD Board of Trustees, including a recent $28 million reduction in existing bond debt as a result of early payment, has positioned the district to fund Bond 2025 without raising the current tax rate,” Sormani explained.

Community members are encouraged to learn more about Bond 2025 through future meetings and resources available on the district’s website and social media channels. The district also plans to launch a dedicated website with further details about the bond initiative.
