What’s Proposed?
During a regular board meeting on February 9, Waskom ISD’s Board of Trustees voted unanimously to call a $35,000,000 bond election for the May 2, 2026 ballot.

Student Impact Highlights
The bond projects focus on improving safety and security, modernizing learning environments, and updating facilities aged 60-70 years.
Tax Information
The projected tax impact is $0.20 per $100 of property value, if the proposition passes. For the average home in Waskom ISD valued at $127,688, the projected tax impact would be $0.00 per month.
65+ and Disabled Voters
Homeowners age 65 and older or those disabled will not incur an increase of WISD taxes above their current exemption ceiling as long as a homestead and over 65 or disabled exemption have been filed with the Harrison County Appraisal District. Texas law provides a school tax ceiling for homeowners who are 65 and older or disabled, meaning their school district tax bill will not increase above their ceiling as a result of this bond election, unless significant improvements are made to the homestead.
