Background

According to the district, Proposition E would fund replacing water filtration pumps and replastering high school and middle school pools.

It is one of four bond propositions (B–E) the district says came from its citizen Long-Range Planning Committee's recommendations.

The district projects its debt service rate will fall from $0.40 to $0.37 per $100 even if Propositions B–E pass.

ABC13 and Community Impact reported the Board called the bond election 6–1, with trustee Christine Kalmbach opposed.

Put on the ballot by Cypress-Fairbanks ISD Board of Trustees, 6–1 (Kalmbach opposed, as reported by ABC13), August 10, 2026.
