If passed, all three propositions will cost approximately $2 billion—the largest school bond package in the history of Northwest ISD. The tax rate would increase by one-tenth of a penny, according to district officials.
The funding from the bonds will go toward the construction of new school facilities, renovating existing facilities and purchasing new technology devices for teachers and students.
Facilities in Proposition A include four new elementary schools, a replacement for Justin and Prairie View elementary schools, a new middle school, a new high school, and four new early childhood development centers. Proposition B includes funding for three new stadiums at Byron Nelson High School, V.R. Eaton High School and High School No. 4 as well as renovations to the Northwest ISD Stadium at Northwest High School. Proposition C would help pay for technology devices for students and teachers. New devices would be used to replace current devices that are at the end of their lifecycle and to give to new students based on enrollment growth, according to NISD.
