Bonham ISD Post Bond Survey 2022

We Need Your Feedback!

Exciting times are in the Bonham Independent School District as we continue in our tradition of pursing excellence in academic programs and extra-curricular activities for our staff, students and community.

In response to the November 2022 bond attempt, Bonham ISD is asking for reasons as to why they voted for, or against the bond.

We are always looking for ways to improve and your feedback will be used to help the Board, Administration, and the Facilities Planning Committee in making future decisions surrounding the facilities and programs that our students, teachers and community use.

In Your Service,

Kelly Trompler

Superintendent
