EMS ISD Bond Progress
Your Bond Dollars at Work
Welcome to the EMS ISD Bond Program website, where bond project information and updates will be provided for our community as the bond work progresses.
2017 Bond
Since the passage of the 2017 bond, most of the bond program has been completed.
The district’s fourth comprehensive high school, Eagle Mountain High School, opened in August 2024. General maintenance projects such as some HVAC, landscaping and signage work also is being completed throughout the district.
In addition to these projects from the 2017 bond are $10 million in improvements to indoor athletic areas at Saginaw High School and $5 million allocated toward a natatorium partnership. Since additional funding to expand these projects was not approved in the 2023 Bond referendum, the original funds from 2017 remain in reserve and will be used toward the improvements approved in 2017.
2023 Bond
In the November 7, 2023, General Election, the voting majority in Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD voted in favor of bond propositions A and B and against bond propositions C and D. The approved bonds total $561.1 million and will address enrollment growth through 2030.
Proposition A, the largest proposition at $540.9 million, addresses enrollment growth and general maintenance. Included is the replacement of Wayside Middle School, the renovation/replacement of Saginaw Elementary School, a new middle school and new elementary school, a new agriculture sciences facility, an expansion for Watson High School, an expansion of the Saginaw High School scene shop, maintenance and renovations to aging facilities, and safety and security enhancements across the district.
Proposition B, totaling $20.2 million, will fund replacements of student devices as well as expansion of the network infrastructure to accommodate the technology load on the district network due to enrollment growth.
