Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District Proposition B
What does this measure do?
Lets Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD borrow $20 million to refinance short-term notes it used to buy school buses, moving that cost from the daily operations budget to the bond debt budget. Property owners repay it through school property taxes; the ballot labels it a property tax increase.
Proposed by: Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District Board of Trustees (order calling the election, August 10, 2026)
The district's elected school board. Texas requires voter approval before a school district can borrow by selling bonds repaid with property taxes.

A NO vote means
The district keeps paying the bus notes from its operating budget, leaving less room for pay and classroom costs.
