Manor ISD Proposition A — $391,500,000 school facilities and bus bonds (Travis County)

What it does

THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE; the issuance of bonds in the amount of $391,500,000 for (1) school facilities, including campus renovations and district-wide safety and security upgrades, and (2) buses, and the levy of taxes sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds.

A YES vote means

Manor ISD could issue $391,500,000 in bonds for school facilities, including campus renovations and district-wide safety and security upgrades, and for buses, repaid with a property tax.

A NO vote means

Manor ISD would not be authorized to issue these $391,500,000 in bonds or levy taxes to repay them.

Needed to pass

A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.

Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

The Manor ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved calling this bond election for November 3, 2026, according to the district.

After a bond election failed in November 2025, the district reconvened its Citizens Facility Advisory Committee in spring 2026 to review enrollment forecasts, facility condition assessments and building systems dating back to 1960, the district says.

According to the district, Proposition A's $391.5 million would fund a Manor New Tech High School expansion, a Bluebonnet Trail Elementary rebuild, Manor High School renovation and consolidation with a theater addition, district-wide and campus upgrades, safety and security improvements and new buses; a separate $8.5 million Proposition B covers technology.

The district says the tax rate would rise if both propositions pass, but estimates the owner of an average $331,764 home would pay $9.56 a month less than the previous year because property values have fallen.

Put on the ballot by Manor ISD Board of Trustees, unanimous (August 2026).
