How will the funds be used?

On April 8, 2025, voters in the Hallsville School District will be asked to approve the issuance of $6.5 million in general obligation bonds, known as Proposition 2. The bond proceeds will be combined with funds saved by the district to complete Phase 2 of a three-phase plan designed to address the district’s facility needs and accommodate growth. Phase 1, completed in 2024, added a new middle school wing, storm shelter, and football field.

Phase 2 focuses on improving parking and traffic flow on the main campus, addressing growing student enrollment, and enhancing student safety. The $6.5 million generated through bond sales will fund the following:

  • Parking & Traffic Flow Improvements: Expanding parking and improving traffic flow on the main campus to accommodate student and guest parking.
  • New Classrooms at Hallsville Primary School: Addressing the growing student enrollment.
  • Relocated Baseball Field & Multipurpose Field: Constructing a new baseball field and adding an artificial surface multipurpose field.
  • Security Upgrades: Installing additional security doors at main entrances in the intermediate, middle, and high school.
  • Refinancing Lease Obligations: Paying off a lease-purchase agreement to reduce future financial commitments.
