The results are in for the school bond elections<\/a> that happened this past weekend in North Texas. Here’s the breakdown across school districts.<\/p>\n

Which school bond elections passed?<\/p>\n

Dallas voters approved all four propositions<\/a> of the largest school bond package in Texas history for Dallas ISD.<\/p>\n

The historic $6.2 billion bond will fund the replacement of 26 school buildings, upgrades to classrooms, playgrounds, athletic facilities, and remove all the 700 remaining portable classrooms.<\/p>\n

Right out of the gate, the support was around 70% and stayed steady throughout Saturday night.<\/p>\n

This will cost the average Dallas homeowner an additional $34 per year in taxes.<\/p>\n

Superintendent Dr. Stephanie Elizalde said these results show Dallasites are invested in their local public school district.<\/p>\n

“The public sees the gains that we’re making and that the public believes in public schools,” said Dr. Elizalde. “They’re willing to roll up their sleeves and pay a one penny increase to ensure that every single student knows public schools, know there is a place for every kid.”<\/p>\n

Other districts that passed their bond proposals include Birdville ISD, Decatur ISD, and Lancaster ISD.<\/p>\n

Which districts saw partial bond approvals?<\/p>\n

Arlington voters approved propositions A and B for school replacements, new buses, and technology upgrades, but voters denied proposition C for $31 million to athletic upgrades. The athletic upgrades would have included installation of turf at six high school baseball and softball fields.<\/p>\n

Ponder ISD voters approved propositions A and C for building new schools and a student & teacher device refresh. However, voters did not pass proposition B for $10 million to an existing stadium expansion.<\/p>\n

Which bonds did not get passed?<\/p>\n

Voters chose not to pass Keene ISD’s $25 million bond package, along with Pilot Point ISD’s $295 million bond and Sanger ISD’s $68 million bond.<\/p>\n
