Dallas Independent School District trustees voted unanimously to put a $1.6 billion bond program on a Nov. 3 ballot.
Voters will decide on the bond program that would fund facility upgrades and academic programs.
The bond proposal includes the following:
- $464 million for nine new campuses
- $195 million for 294 new classrooms and expanded facilities
- $233 million for educational adequacy, including new technology, science labs, gym/locker room enhancements and more
- $92 million for new educational programs including prekindergarten expansion, and career and technical programs
- $500 million for capital improvements such as new roofs, HVAC, windows and doors, plumbing, and site improvements.
- $105 million for land acquisition, demolition and early priority projects.
"I'm pleased the Board of Trustees has given voters a chance to decide," said Interim Superintendent Michael Hinojosa. "The timing is good, and we will do all we can to be transparent and provide information. This is not just about need, but it incorporates many of the strategies that have been developed over the years and keeps that going."
