Unofficial election results show voters rejecting a proposal for a new $94 million athletic stadium in Prosper ISD.
Just fewer than 45% of voters were in favor of the bond — one of four in the district’s $2.8 billion package — and 55% were against.
Prop C would have included more than $102 million to “improve and expand the district’s athletic facilities, including the construction of a new stadium with seating for 8,000 and an 8-lane track,” according to a district website explaining the bond package.
Voters approved the other three bond issues in the package, according to unofficial election results. Proposition A includes $2.4 billion to build new schools and support facilities and modernize existing schools, as well as to reinforce safety and security measures, buy land for eight new schools, and provide transportation; it appears to have passed with 65% of votes in favor.
Prop B includes $140 million to upgrade the district’s technology; unofficial results show it received 64% of votes in favor.
Prop D allocated $125 million for a new performing arts center; it appears to have passed with 55% of votes in favor.
The district says the new facilities included in the bond package are needed to keep up with its growth.
In astatement on its website, the district says it's prepared to "embark on the meticulous planning of construction timelines and project schedules" for the propositions that passed. As for the new stadium, "The Board of Trustees will determine next steps for that facility."
