Dallas ISD Proposes $6.2 Billion Bond for School Improvements and Security Upgrades
Dallas Independent School District (ISD) is proposing a record $6.2 billion bond, which will be decided by voters in May. This bond aims to fund the construction of 26 new schools, renovate and modernize existing campuses, remove 700 portable classrooms, and enhance security measures across the district. If approved, the bond will result in a property tax increase of one cent, costing homeowners an estimated $2.79 more per month and $33 annually for homes valued at $500,000 after the homestead exemption. This initiative represents the largest bond proposal in Texas history, reflecting the district's commitment to improving educational facilities and safety for students.
