Round Rock ISD's $572.09 million school bond election contains dozens of proposed projects ranging from a new $150 million high school on Pearson Ranch Road in Austin to districtwide security and technology upgrades.
RRISD's board of trustees
voted unanimously Feb. 16 to call a bond election, which will take place May 6. Early voting will run April 24 to May 2.
The bond election is split into three ballot propositions: One emphasizes growth, renewal and safety; a second focuses on innovation and classroom expansion; and a third deals with fine arts and athletics projects.
If voters approve all three bonds, tax payments will increase by $2.23 per month and $26.74 per year for an average RRISD home valued at $290,000, according to the district.
RRISD has begun
a series of public forums regarding the bond and is
accepting questions and comments online. The district has more information available online:
