Today, we’re diving into one of the most important topics facing our community right now: the upcoming HPISD school bond election on November 5. After months of collaboration and planning, the HPISD School Board has unanimously approved a single-proposition maintenance and efficiency bond that could have a major impact on every campus in our district.

In this episode, we’ll break down the bond proposal and what it means for our schools, from addressing immediate maintenance and safety needs to enhancing campus improvements and supporting teacher salaries. We’ll also explore why this bond won’t raise the tax rate, even though it appears as a "property tax increase" on the ballot, and why 100% of the funds will stay local.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or community member, you won’t want to miss this conversation about the future of our district and how this bond could shape the next chapter for HPISD.
