Dallas ISD trustees send $6.2 billion bond proposal to voters

On Thursday, February 12, the Dallas ISD trustees sent a $6.2 billion bond proposal to voters in May. The proposal has been developed over the past year with the help of the Citizens Bond Steering Committee, whose members were appointed by the board.

If approved by voters, the $6.2 billion bond would:

  • build 26 brand-new replacement schools at these campuses
  • renovate and modernize all campuses (see proposed scope by campus)
  • remove the district's 700 remaining school portables (used by nearly 10,000 students)
  • upgrade safety and security at all campuses
  • update school furniture
  • upgrade student technology and purchase new school buses
  • upgrade physical education facilities
  • repair the district's swimming pools

The bond would be broken up into four propositions on the May ballot, A, B, C, and D. Prop C would allow the district to refinance $143 million in debt, giving the district the ability to redirect more resources back to classroom operations.
