The 2022 Mineola ISD Bond Proposal was designed around three guiding studies.
1.) Facilities Review- This report addresses the facility needs in the District.
2.) Demographic Report- This report provided us with information concerning future growth in the District.
3.) Tax Rate Impact Analysis- This report addresses the bonding capacity and how much impact proposed facility needs may cost the taxpayers of our District. This tax rate impact analysis also looked at a comparison of other Districts in East Texas as well.
All of these reports can be read in detail at
