Navarro Independent School District announced a $120 million bond election scheduled to take place on May 4, 2024. The decision to call the bond election came after the Board reviewed the work of the District Long-Range Master Planning Committee, consisting of 33 community members, parents, students, faculty, and staff, dedicating their time from November 2023 to January 2024 to assess the current state of the district, demographics, areas no longer meeting current standards, financial impacts, and opportunities with current facilities.

We want to thank all who voted in the bond election. The District and Board of Trustees is committed to supporting the students, families, and staff of Navarro ISD with open communication, fiscal responsibility, and collaborative visioning for the future through engagement of students, families, staff, and community members. We are grateful for the passage of Bond Proposition A, B and C.  Of the 859 votes cast, the results were:
