Happy Friday everyone!
Last night the Mineola ISD Board of Trustees voted to call a bond election on Saturday, May 7th, 2022. The Board of Trustees voted 7 FOR and 0 AGAINST. If the bond is approved by voters, bond proceeds would be used to build a new Primary School serving students in Head Start through 3rd Grade, renovate the current Elementary School into a Career and Technical Education Center, and update other educational facilities.
Please see the attached presentation for more detailed information.

Mineola ISD will be closed on Friday, February 4th due to continued winter weather. With a winter mixture continuing to fall over the next several hours and temperatures continuing to fall as well, we believe this decision to be in the best interest of our students, their families, and our staff.
The Community Forum that was scheduled for tonight (Thursday, February 3rd) has been rescheduled for Monday, February 7th at 6:00 p.m. in the Primary/Middle School Cafeteria to discuss future facility planning.
Middle School basketball games that were scheduled for tonight will be rescheduled and JV and Varsity basketball games scheduled for Friday night are being rescheduled as well.
Stay warm and be safe!
