SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — San Angelo ISD officials held a press conference on April 11 to discuss the district's Bond 2025 proposition ahead of the upcoming May 3 election.
Dr. Christopher Moran, superintendent, Dr. Taylor Kingman, school board president, and Dr. Merl Brandon, assistant superintendent of business support services and chief financial officer, answered questions from local media outlets regarding the bond proposition.
According to SAISD's Bond 2025 Overview webpage, Bond 2025 is a $397 million bond designed to fund multiple renovations and new constructions across the district, including the renovation of 'aging buildings,' the construction of a new Glenn Middle School and the improvement of safety parameters throughout SAISD.

During the conference, several questions pertaining to Bond 2025 were answered by Moran, Kingman and Brandon. Among the topics discussed were financial transparency, the role of voters in voicing the community's opinion about the bond proposition, the influence of Bond 2025 on voters' thoughts regarding the coliseum bond election and the potential impacts that decisions made in the Texas Capitol may have on SAISD.
Moran said that the Bond 2025 proposition is being presented to taxpayers due to the district's reliance on bond elections to fund renovations and new construction that could serve future generations of San Angelo residents.
'Public schools can only be constructed through bond elections by local taxpayers, and that's why this is such an important decision, because once buildings are built correctly, they last for two to three generations,' Moran said.
The officials stated that, regardless of whether one is for or against Bond 2025, becoming educated on the bond proposition and voting is encouraged.
'What we don't want are people to stay home and not vote,' Moran said. 'This is a community decision, people's voices need to be heard. Become educated, get out and vote.'
Early voting for the May 3 election is scheduled to begin on April 22 and conclude on April 29, according to information available on the Tom Green County website.
