Voters Approved the Bond: What Happens Next?

At the November 2025 election, Brenham ISD voters approved Proposition A (Bond), authorizing $39 million in capital improvements with no increase to the tax rate. At the November 18 Board Meeting, trustees officially canvassed the election results, certifying the outcome and allowing implementation work to begin.

We are deeply grateful to the Board of Trustees, our Strategic Planning Committee, staff, and community members for their engagement, trust, and support.
