VOTE May 2 on the 2026 Dallas ISD bond. This bond package is for just over $6.2 billion and would result in a $0.01 tax rate increase, which translates to about $33 annually for homes valued at $500,000 and no tax increase if the homeowner is 65 years of age or older. Despite the increase, Dallas ISD will still have one of the lowest Interest & Sinking (I&S) tax rates in Dallas County and the North Texas area. The bond proposal includes four propositions outlined below:

Proposition A: This proposition includes upgrades for school buildings and district facilities, including but not limited to: (1) removing all portables from across the district (2) full rebuilds of 26 schools (3) renovations driven by a facilities condition index paired with an education suitability score at remaining schools (4) technology infrastructure and (5) safety and security upgrades.

Proposition B: This proposition is centered on upgrading technology devices that both teachers and students have access to as part of their teaching and learning experience in Dallas ISD.

Proposition C: This allows Dallas ISD to refinance a previous bond that would result in interest savings to the district of approximately $10 million.

Proposition D: This would allow approximately $26 million to renovate the five district swim facilities, which haven’t received any bond funding in this century.

If you live in a district that is holding an election for your DISD Board Trustee, you will also vote for your trustee candidate of choice in the same election.
