Marion ISD voters say ‘Yes’
WEEKEND EDITION
TODAY
to $60 million bond issue Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Marion) -Marion ISD voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly showed strong support for investing in the future of their schools. During the Nov. 4 General and School Board Election, voters approved the district’s $60 million bond proposition. A total of 1,161 (65.52 percent) votes were cast in favor of the new and upgraded facilities across the district while 611 (34.48 percent) votes were cast against it. The 2025 voter approved bond package includes plans for a new elementary school, new buses, land acquisition, and districtwide upgrades -- all part of the district’s long-term facilities plan. Marion ISD Superintendent Dr. Don Beck says he appreciates the community’s confidence
in the district’s vision and leadership. “I’m truly excited by the results. There were a lot of people that took part in this, you know, getting the information out. I’d hate to even begin to name every one of them because I’d miss somebody. But the biggest thing is we want to make sure everybody got information and it worked. This is by far the largest turnout that the Marion ISD has had, to my knowledge, other than a gubernatorial or a presidential race. The most voters that I know that we’ve had recently was 1,100. Now we’re sitting at fifteen, sixteen, seventeenhundred votes so I’m thrilled. We’re thrilled; the school board is thrilled that people came out and voted. I know that the work was tireless for some.
