The Midway Independent School District (ISD) is prioritizing needs identified in a facility assessment and programmatic changes for both curricular and extracurricular areas. Key considerations include aging infrastructure, transportation concerns from budget cuts, and an increase in student enrollment. This initiative also addresses debt management strategies amid the current economic climate, proposing new projects to enhance technology, transportation, and fine arts programs. The community's involvement is crucial in the bond planning process to ensure equitable support for all students.
