WHY CALL A BOND ELECTION?

Our motto has always been schools are like magnets, good schools attract and bad schools repel.

Jeffrey C. Wiley, President and CEO

Fort Bend Economic Development Council

S T A F F O R D 2 0 2 0 - B U I L D I N G S T A F F O R D ’ S F U T U R E WHY CALL A BOND ELECTION?

• To transform into a true educational campus that enhances our sense of

community.

• Community Library
• Volunteer & Community Center
• To provide the best possible learning environment for Stafford Students.
• New Middle School: research shows that if we do not engage students in this period,

we may lose them. The new state-of-the-art Middle School aims to give them a sense of pride, a new identity.

• New Magnet School: so that we can better prepare students for the future. Recapture

Stafford students back into SMSD.

• To meet the Texas Education Agency’s recommendation for grade level

configuration.

• To create a more safe and secure campus.
