WISD Bond 2025

Earlier this year, Weatherford ISD formed a Facilities Advisory Committee made up of community members, parents, staff and local leaders. The committee reviewed updated demographic, financial and facility reports following the May 2025 election. Its charge was to evaluate and prioritize the district’s highest-priority facility needs, including safety and security, aging buildings and capacity challenges.

On Aug. 18, the Weatherford ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved calling a $189.3 million bond election for Nov. 4, 2025. The proposal will appear on the ballot as three separate propositions, addressing projects such as safety and security upgrades across all campuses, major renovations and additions to aging facilities, and improvements to support teaching, learning and student programs.

Registered voters in Weatherford ISD will have the opportunity to cast ballots during early voting from Oct. 20–31, 2025, or on Election Day, Nov. 4, 2025.

The proposed bond will not increase the tax rate

and would improve safety and security, address failing facility systems and fund immediate repairs. The energy savings and cost avoidance provided by approval of these projects could be used for other expenses like employee salaries.

Due to strong fiscal management and the early payoff of past debt, the projects in the proposed bond can be funded without raising taxes. In fact, should the Weatherford ISD bond referendum pass, the district's tax rate will decrease by approximately 9 cents as a result of these efforts. The district has positioned itself financially by continuing to lower the tax rate and paying off past voter-approved debt early.
