Whitesboro Independent School District trustees toured the district's active construction sites on April 13, 2026, and at the meeting that followed approved equipment and furniture for the buildings going up under the 2024 bond program, according to minutes filed on the district's public meeting portal. Whitesboro ISD covers territory in both Grayson and Cooke counties, and its 2024 bond election notice listed Whitesboro City Hall as the polling place for the Cooke County portion of the district.
The April minutes record purchases tied to the new buildings. Those included networking switches, interactive panels for classrooms and furniture for the high school additions.
Representatives of WRA and WRL briefed the board on the bond projects at the May 11, 2026 meeting, according to the minutes for that night. Trustees then approved $340,743 for operational panels, pens, chutes and scales for the new Agriscience Center.
The updates carried into summer. Whitesboro ISD's agenda for June 8, 2026 scheduled a tour at 5 p.m. and listed a construction update to be presented by Superintendent Ryan Harper.
The district keeps its own record of the work on a 2024 bond construction page, which carries construction-update videos dated from August 2025 through June 2026. That page also holds bid and design documents for an early childhood center, a site package, additions at the high school, a multipurpose facility and an agricultural sciences facility. None of the minutes, agendas or district postings cited here gives a completion date for the remaining work.
Voters authorized the program in two parts on May 4, 2024. The district's official notice of bond election describes Proposition A as $100 million for school facilities and buses and Proposition B as $18 million for a multipurpose activity center. Both ballot descriptions identified the measures as property tax increases.

According to the bond election notice, Grayson County conducted the election for the district, with countywide polling places available to Grayson County voters and Whitesboro City Hall serving voters in the Cooke County part of the district.
Whitesboro was not the only district in the area with a school bond question on that ballot. Tioga ISD's own notice of election describes a $26.305 million measure aimed at refinancing earlier lease revenue debt on Tioga High School rather than at building new facilities.
