The Coryell County unofficial cumulative results for the November 4 election show that Evant Independent School District Proposition A did not receive majority support among voters in the county portion of the tally. The county report records 303 cast votes, with 117 votes in favor of the measure and 186 votes against it. Early voting accounted for 120 of the votes with 54 for and 66 against, absentee ballots contributed 3 votes with 1 for and 2 against, and election day ballots registered 180 votes with 62 for and 118 against.
These figures come from the county level PDF of unofficial results and represent only the votes cast within Coryell County. Evant ISD is a district that contains precincts outside of Coryell County, and final certification of the bond will include results from all precincts in the district. At this stage the county file provides a clear snapshot of how Coryell County residents voted, but it does not by itself determine whether the bond passes or fails districtwide.
Local implications are immediate even as the districtwide outcome remains pending. Bond measures fund capital projects, maintenance, and sometimes health and safety upgrades in school facilities. In rural districts like Evant, capital funding is often critical for maintaining safe classrooms, improving ventilation and heating systems, and supporting space for counseling and health services. A lack of approved funding can slow planned renovations and can exacerbate existing disparities in building conditions between wealthier and less affluent areas.
For families, teachers, and staff in Coryell County, the county vote signals community priorities and will influence how district leaders approach next steps. If the bond is not approved districtwide, projects that proponents argued would improve learning environments and address facility needs will be delayed or scaled back. For lower income households, delays in capital improvements can have outsized effects on student health and learning because these families have fewer alternatives for safer or healthier environments.
The vote in Coryell County also underscores broader policy questions about how rural school districts finance infrastructure and the equity of relying on local property tax driven funding. Communities with smaller tax bases often face harder choices and steeper consequences when capital funding is rejected.
Residents and stakeholders should watch for the Evant ISD official certification that compiles results from all precincts in the district. That certification will determine the final result and inform school board decisions about budgeting, project planning, and community engagement going forward. The Coryell County document is available as the county report for the November 4 election and will be one piece of that final districtwide determination.
