Manor ISD Bond 2026

What we're fixing

Two propositions. Thirteen projects. Every one of them at a campus Manor ISD already owns. Here's what your YES vote does at each school, and why it's needed.

This is what "deferred maintenance" looks like.

The corner of a brick school building with a crack running from the top of the wall down into the concrete foundation
A crack runs the full height of this corner, through the brick and into the concrete foundation. The district's assessment found foundation deterioration, roof leaks and recurring system failures here.

The same crack, up close. Patching the brick doesn't fix a deteriorating foundation, which is why Prop A rebuilds this school rather than repairing it again.

The edge of the foundation slab is breaking apart, exposing the rusting steel inside it.

Along the same wall: the foundation skirt, and the conduit and control boxes added to the outside of the building over the years.

Ground-level A/C units serve the classrooms behind this wall. Across the district, a quarter of campuses have air conditioning at or past its useful life.

Proposition A

Schools, safety and buses

Make room and modernize

Manor New Tech High School expansion

$81M
Manor New Tech High School
What you get

450 more seats so every New Tech Middle student has a place to continue. The gym becomes a real fine arts space with secure instrument storage. New Career & Technical Education labs for hands-on, technology-focused programs and industry certifications. Undersized classrooms expanded to current standards.

Why it's needed

Built for 750 students and already 85% full. Band and choir practice in a gym built for P.E. with no acoustics. Robotics meets in a former agriculture building never designed for it. Several classrooms are smaller than a standard high school classroom.

Bluebonnet Trail Elementary rebuild

$68.25M
Bluebonnet Trail Elementary
What you get

A new school on the existing campus: sound infrastructure, safe and accessible for every child, and built to serve a neighborhood that's still growing. The school is 79% full today and heading to 83% within five years.

Why it's needed

Built in 1994 with no major renovation since 2008. Facility assessments found roof leaks, foundation deterioration, aging HVAC and plumbing, technology deficiencies, accessibility gaps and recurring system failures.

Manor High School: one 9–12 campus

$67.25M
Manor High School
What you get

A new academic wing that brings ninth graders onto the main campus and makes Manor High a single 9–12 school for up to 2,300 students, with dedicated Career & Technical Education and fine arts spaces. Ninth graders stay at the 9th Grade Center during construction, with no portables.

Why it's needed

Ninth graders attend a separate 9th Grade Center more than four miles from the rest of Manor High. Many CTE classrooms and their equipment are there too, so the district runs daily shuttles between campuses.

Manor High School fine arts & multipurpose center

$16.5M
Manor High School
What you get

A classroom and fine arts center built for instruction, with a full stage and audience seating: a home for student concerts, plays and presentations, and a venue for community events.

Why it's needed

Band, choir and theatre share one classroom when enrollment calls for two, and students have no stage of their own.

18+ Transition Program home

$4.03M
Manor High School 9th Grade Center
What you get

A dedicated, renovated space with larger instructional areas and two accessible restrooms, one with a lift, for young adults with disabilities learning independent-living and job skills.

Why it's needed

The program is squeezed into the Manor High complex without a space designed for it.

Repair and renew

District-wide building repairs

$60M
All campuses, concentrated at the oldest
What you get

Roofs, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, lighting, locks and access-control systems, sidewalks and roadways replaced or modernized where they've worn out, so buildings run reliably, stay comfortable and cost less to operate.

Why it's needed

A quarter of campuses have HVAC systems at or beyond their useful life. Electrical systems average 18 years old; some are 30 to 45. One campus still runs on the cast-iron pipes it was built with.

Decker Elementary renovations

$35.24M
Decker Elementary
What you get

Rebuilt building systems, safety and security upgrades, updated classrooms and instructional spaces, technology infrastructure and accessibility improvements.

Why it's needed

Built in 1999 and not renovated since 2015; enrollment is projected to grow from 62% of capacity to 84% within five years.

Blake Manor Elementary renovations

$34.83M
Blake Manor Elementary
What you get

Building system repairs and replacements, safety and security enhancements, classroom updates, technology infrastructure and accessibility improvements.

Why it's needed

Built in 2006. Work in 2025 replaced half the HVAC units, much of the roof, the playground and critical sidewalks, but a backlog of building-system, safety and classroom needs remains.

Manor Excel Academy moves to the 9th Grade Center

$8.7M
9th Grade Center · Wildhorse · Lagos
What you get

About 20,000 square feet renovated at the 9th Grade Center for Excel Academy: HVAC, flooring, lighting, electrical, life-safety and accessibility work. That frees Wildhorse to open as the elementary school it was built to be, between 2028 and 2030, relieving Lagos Elementary.

Why it's needed

Excel Academy currently occupies Wildhorse Elementary while nearby Lagos Elementary runs at 96% of capacity and is projected to reach 152% within five years.

Manor Alternative Program home

$1.5M
Former Manor Early Education Learning Center
What you get

The old Early Learning Center renovated into a dedicated home for the Manor Alternative Program.

Why it's needed

The program has no dedicated facility; the building currently houses the district print shop and law-enforcement training.

Safety & security

Safety & security upgrades

$10.5M
All campuses
What you get

Audio-enhanced panic-alert systems at elementary schools, perimeter fencing, expanded camera coverage, lockdown buttons, enhanced badge systems, door relocations, card-reader access controls, police radios and equipment, network upgrades, intercom and emergency communications, and PA systems.

Why it's needed

Every campus meets state safety standards today, but the state's new school-safety funding works out to about $10 per student. The district's safety priorities, built from a fall 2024 parent survey and the facility assessment, need far more than that.

Buses

Seatbelt-equipped school buses

$3.7M
District-wide
What you get

New buses with seatbelts for every seat, lower breakdown and maintenance rates, and a fleet that meets the 2029 state law before the deadline.

Why it's needed

More than 4,800 students, nearly half the district, ride a bus every day, 866,700 miles a year. The average bus is 6 to 10 years old with 174,000 miles; some are 27 years old. 39% of the fleet isn't fully equipped with seatbelts, and 56 buses (64% of the fleet) are approaching or past their useful life.

Proposition B

Student and teacher technology

Replace outdated student and teacher devices

$8.5M
All campuses, grades 2–12
What you get

Every student in grades 2–12 and every teacher keeps a working device: fewer failures, fewer interruptions to teaching, stronger cybersecurity, and reliable tools for state testing, college and career prep, and school-family communication.

Why it's needed

Manor ISD's 1-to-1 program runs on 10,696 devices. 5,861 of them are 7 to 10 years old, past their useful life, and can't meet current software and security requirements.

State law requires technology devices to be voted on separately, which is why Prop B stands on its own.
