TROUP, Texas — A $22,667,500 bond for Troup ISD has been voted down by residents.
In the fall of 2019, a group of parents, teacher and community members came together to assess the needs of Troup ISD school district.
It was decided, a bond election would be the best way to improve the district, but the pandemic had other plans. Jones says the district discussed putting off the bond package but decided that wasn't in the best interest of students.
The district last held a bond election in 2005. The $5 million bond for renovations to all schools passed with 166 voting for the bond and 99 voting against.
