The board of directors heard recommendations from the Bond Steering Committee in a June special called meeting where the committee recommended three proposals.
The details
The first proposal is the largest, coming in at $1.3 billion, and includes building a Career and Technology Education center that will cost approximately $84 million. The proposal includes $770 million for construction costs.
Proposition B is for $54 million will be used to refresh student and teacher tablets and other devices and Proposition C is for $7 million for Americans with Disabilities Act improvements to stadiums.
What else
Voters must approve the bond proposals during the November election. Several North Texas school districts have called billion dollar bonds, including Celina ISD, which was passed by voters last year and Frisco ISD, in which voters opposed the referendum.
To cover the bond, the steering committee recommended a $0.04 increase to the debt services portion of the property tax rate. If approved, the increase would begin in fiscal year 2026-27, assistant superintendent David Pate said.
