McKinney ISD Named an Outstanding School District nominee for the H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards
We are proud to announce that McKinney ISD has been named an Outstanding School District nominee for the prestigious H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards!
The recognition doesn’t stop there! Our McKinney ISD Board of Trustees has also been nominated, along with several outstanding principals, school counselors and teachers from across the district.
These nominations are a wonderful reflection of the incredible people who make McKinney ISD such a special place to learn, work and serve. We are proud to see our educators and leaders recognized for their commitment to students and excellence in education.
Congratulations to all of our McKinney ISD nominees!
McKinney ISD Election 2026
McKinney ISD residents will vote on five propositions on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
What's in the bond?
Four bond propositions, built from the community's own facility study — and financed with the existing tax rate which is nearly 4 cents lower than it was last year.
McKinney ISD's schools are aging, and McKinney is still growing unevenly. The bond addresses both: it replaces building systems before they fail, upgrades safety and technology, expands career training through a shared facility with Collin College, and builds where the students actually are. Every project traces back to the Long Range Facility Master Plan developed by community members.
All four bond propositions and the VATRE can be financed with the existing tax rate. In August, the district lowered the rate by almost 4 cents. It is important to note that the VATRE and all bond propositions can be financed with the new lower tax rate.
