Prosper Independent School District voters approved three of four bond propositions: $2.44 billion for upgrading existing facilities and building new schools, $140 million for technology, and $125 million for a performing arts center, but rejected a request for $102.4 million that would have funded construction of athletic facilities, including an 8,000-seat stadium.

Voters appear to have narrowly rejected a $22.9 million bond vote for a pool.
