The district's Election 2026 mailer

This is the printed "Election 2026" mailer that McKinney ISD sent to voters by mail. This site quotes it for the district's own wording. It is the district's material, not this site's.

This site's copy was made from the printed mailer. Both sides are shown as printed, including the photographs, except that the mailing barcode on the front is covered with a gray bar. A plain-text version of each side follows each image.
