(Geronimo) -- Voters in the Navarro ISD have said “yes” to the largest bond election in the district’s history. Voters during the Saturday, May 4 Election agreed to Propositions A, B and C totaling $120 million.

She says the approval of Prop A was vital to creating more elbow room in the classroom and says the district is expected to hit capacity with its current elementary and intermediate schools during the Fall 2026 and Fall 2027 school years. “It is a huge demonstration of faith that our community members and taxpayers have in us to really grow our facilities, to support those students and families that are coming and to know that we will have those resources to be able to expand our facilities, to start moving from Bond, pg. 3
