Mineola Independent School District

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 https://www.mineolaisd.net/page/bond-election Early Voting continues through Tuesday, May 3rd at the Quitman Courthouse Annex each week day from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m..

Dear Parent or Guardian, P-EBT benefits will be provided for the 2021–2022 school year. If your child is eligible, benefit amounts will vary because it is based on each student’s COVID-related absences, virtual attendance and school closures. This is different from previous P-EBT benefit amounts that were the same for all students at a campus. For more information go to: https://www.mineolaisd.net/page/p-ebt
