A $500 Million Plan to Keep McKinney's Schools Safe, Modern and Ready

Four bond propositions, built from the community's own facility study — and financed with the existing tax rate which is nearly 4 cents lower than it was last year.

McKinney ISD's schools are aging, and McKinney is still growing unevenly. The bond addresses both: it replaces building systems before they fail, upgrades safety and technology, expands career training through a shared facility with Collin College, and builds where the students actually are. Every project traces back to the Long Range Facility Master Plan developed by community members.

All four bond propositions and the VATRE can be financed with the existing tax rate. In August, the district lowered the rate by almost 4 cents.  It is important to note that the VATRE and all bond propositions can be financed with the new lower tax rate.

Prop B — Schools, Safety & Growth  ($430.95M)

Safe Buildings, Modern Classrooms, and Room Where McKinney Is Growing

• Safety and security: Upgrades to surveillance cameras, servers, alert systems and emergency communications so campuses can respond fast when it matters.

• Aging infrastructure: Replacing HVAC, roofing, electrical and plumbing on schedule — because maintaining systems before they fail costs less than emergency replacement after.

• Modernized learning environments: Major renovations at older campuses, plus energy-efficient air conditioning, windows, lighting and roofing that lower operating costs.

• Growth in the north: Two new elementary schools where enrollment has pushed campuses to or beyond capacity.  Frazier, Press and Webb sit in the growth corridor identified by EFAC.

• Shared CTE Center with Collin College:

  A partnership with Collin College that expands career training for every McKinney ISD high school student and saves taxpayers the cost of a duplicate facility.

  Collin College was also considering a CTE Center in the McKinney community. Rather than build two facilities serving overlapping needs, McKinney ISD partnered with Collin College on a single shared facility. It is too expensive to offer the same career and technology programs at every high school. A shared center expands what's available and gives all MISD high school students a path toward college, career and military readiness.

Prop C — Instructional Technology  ($62M)

The Network and Devices Today's Classrooms Actually Run On

Prop C covers student devices, which wear out and need replacement on a predictable cycle rather than in emergency batches.

Prop D — Upgrades to Existing Training Pool  ($4.5M)

Repairs to Facilities McKinney Already Owns

Preserving, modernizing, and keeping an existing community asset safe rather than building a new facility. Prop D will extend the useful life of the existing training pool that was originally constructed in 1986.  It represents less than one percent of the total package.

Prop E — Upgrades to the Existing McKinney ISD Stadiums  ($2.55M)

Replacing Aging Turf and Track So the Facilities Stay Safe to Use

The smallest proposition on the ballot at $2.55 million which is roughly one-half of one percent of the package. The turf at McKinney ISD Stadium is aging and needs replacement so the field can continue to be used safely by students across the district. The track at Ron Poe Stadium is deteriorating and needs foundation replacement and resurfacing.
