Marlow, OK – Marlow Public Schools is proud to present the 2026 Transportation Bond, a $1 million proposal designed to modernize our student transportation fleet and ensure reliable, efficient service for years to come. This initiative will appear on the ballot Feb. 10, 2026 and will be funded through a 1.37% property tax increase.

Our transportation fleet plays a vital role in getting students to and from school and activities safely each day. Many of our current buses are more than 18 years old and nearing the end of their service life. This bond represents an investment in modernization, reliability, and long-term efficiency for our schools and community.

Key Highlights of the 2026 Transportation Bond:

Modernizing Our Fleet:
The bond will fund the purchase of:

• Six standard yellow school buses to replace aging buses currently in daily service
  
  

• Two 14-passenger student transportation vehicles to better support smaller groups, extracurricular travel, and special transportation needs
  
  

Improving Safety and Reliability:
New vehicles include updated safety features, improved mechanical reliability, and modern technology designed to reduce breakdowns, delays, and long-term maintenance costs—helping ensure our students arrive ready to learn, every day.

“This bond reflects our community’s commitment to students, families, and taxpayers,” Superintendent Corey Holland said. “By proactively replacing older buses, we reduce costly repairs, extend fleet longevity, and make a responsible investment in the future of Marlow Public Schools.”
