The April 14 meeting of the Blanco ISD Board of Trustees included information about the bond on the May 3 ballot, the graduation ceremony, and a status of the interview process for two vacancies.
The district has received 88 applications for the athletic director/ head football coach position and 15 applications for the elementary principal positions. Interviews are either underway or to be scheduled in the coming weeks. There is a hiring committee which reviews the applications, and trustee Stephen Mackey has been able to bring his relationships within the Texas High School Coaching Association to the process for the AD/football coach position.
The bond election is May 3 and early voting began Tuesday. In order to vote on the 2025 bond, you must go to the Blanco ISD Administration Building at 814 11th Street. If approved, the bond will fund facility upgrades, including the severely outdated HVAC systems across all campuses, improvement of special education facilities at the elementary and high school, improved parking, lighting, sidewalks, buses, renovation of the Ag barn at the high school and more. Proposition B, if approved, will fund district wide technology upgrades. A full list of projects can be found at https://files.gabbart.com/1167/ bond_2025_week_3_facts.pdf.
