Burkburnett ISD Bond FAQs
Q: Can I vote on both propositions separately?
A: Yes. Voters should record their vote in each of the propositions on the ballot. Click the
link to the Bond Propositions page. https://www.burkburnettisd.org/o/bisd/page/2026-bond-propositions
Proposition A focuses on upgrading facilities across Burkburnett ISD. The proposition includes career and technical education with a complete CTE wing renovation at the high school, upgrades safety through new fire alarm and camera systems district-wide, and improves student spaces with auditorium upgrades, restroom renovations, playground shade structures, and locker room improvements. Additional funds would support parking lot enhancements, physical education facilities, and new transportation vehicles.
Proposition B proposes a new Multi-Purpose Indoor Activity Center at the north end of the football stadium. This climate-controlled facility would provide year-round training space for band, athletics, ROTC, and our elementary schools. The project also includes a new girls' soccer locker room.
