Background
“Athletics and agricultural programs are often the best reflection of a school’s culture and how much it invests in its students.”
The Silverton ISD Board of Trustees has called a $10.5 million bond election that will appear on the May 2, 2026 ballot. The proposed bond focuses on improvements to the district’s athletic and agricultural facilities. These projects were identified by the Board as priorities to support student programs and ensure that facilities continue to meet the needs of Silverton ISD students.
​
The district’s financial advisor has reviewed the proposal and estimates that the bond would have an impact of approximately $0.10 per $100 of property valuation on the school district’s Interest and Sinking (I&S) tax rate. The I&S portion of the tax rate is used to repay voter-approved bonds for construction and facility improvements.
​
The proposed projects are intended to strengthen athletic programs and agricultural education opportunities while maintaining facilities that serve both students and the broader Silverton community.
​
Silverton ISD residents will have the opportunity to vote on the bond referendum during early voting and on Election Day, May 2, 2026. Community members are encouraged to review the information provided, ask questions, and stay engaged as additional details about the proposal are shared.
​
Additional information and resources will be posted on the district’s website in the coming weeks.
