A new high school, two new elementary campuses and improvements across Hays CISD were given the green light by voters Saturday as a pair of bond propositions totaling $250 million were approved by a wide margin.
Support was high for both Proposition 1 and 2, which held sizable approval percentages after the release of early voting numbers, and continued to hold that trend as Election Day results came in.
Over 1,200 of the 2,102 total votes cast in the Proposition 1 election approved the measure, which called for $189 million to be spread across three new campuses in the district. Included was a $122 million third high school campus that will be located along FM 967 near Carpenter Hill Elementary. District officials estimate the campus could open by the 2019 school year.
