ROISD Board approves call for a school bond election
The Red Oak ISD Board approved the administrative recommendation for a school bond election to be held on Saturday, May 3, 2025. The propositions on the bond include a career technical education building at the high school, a third HS gym, a new elementary school, and new elementary playgrounds at all five current schools. Two additional propositions include upgrades to Goodloe Stadium and a sub-varsity venue at Red Oak High School.
The bonds will handle growth for the projected 12-15 years and provide more opportunities for students, all without an increase in the tax rate to the community. To learn more, visit www.roisdbond.com
