Live updates: Crowley will build more schools, nix performing arts center under bond package
Crowley’s $1.17 billion bond to add five schools was a hit with Tarrant County voters, according to unofficial results. The part of the bond for a new performing arts center, however, failed.
Proposition A, which covers new schools, won with 53.4% of the vote.
Proposition B, which covers an outdoor learning center and track and field complex, won with 52.2% of the vote.
Proposition C, which covers a new performing arts center, lost with 51.4% of Tarrant County voters voting against it.
Crowley’s bond will build three new elementary schools, a new middle school and replace Crowley High School. Most of the old Crowley High will torn down, except for its fine arts wing.
Crowley schools have grown from 15,000 students to 17,000 students in six years. By 2028, the district is anticipated to have 20,000 students.
The package will not increase taxes for voters, according to school district officials.
