Voters approve $90 million Moore Norman Technology Center bond proposal
Voters approved a $90 million bond for the Moore Norman Technology Center on Tuesday that seeks to expand access to workforce training.
The bond will expand facilities, modernize equipment and optimize existing learning spaces at MNTC, which was forced to turn away 25% of qualified applicants in the 2024-25 school year due to limited space, according to a news release.
According to unofficial results from the Oklahoma State Election Board, 51.69% of voters voted in favor of the bond and 48.31% voted against it.
MNTC serves students from the five high schools in the Norman and Moore public school districts. It operates two campuses: the Franklin Road Campus in Norman, and the South Penn Campus in Oklahoma City.
The $90 million bond will result in a 1.25% property tax increase – about $40 per year for the average homeowner, according to the release
The bond will fund:
A new construction trades facility combining heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical and carpentry programs into one collaborative space.
Expansion and renovation of health programs and facilities, including updating the health building constructed in 1998.
Creation of flexible training spaces for business and industry partnerships.
