Bond 2026 information for team members
This month, Dallas ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to put a $6.2 billion bond up for an election this May. Community volunteers and experts appointed by the trustees to the Citizens Bond Steering Committee met for more than a year to create this bond proposal. Here is what it would do:
- Build 26 brand-new replacement schools at these campuses
- Renovate and modernize all campuses (see proposed scope by campus)
- Remove the district’s 700 remaining school portables (used by nearly 10,000 students)
- Upgrade safety and security at all campuses
- Update school furniture
- Upgrade student technology and purchase new school buses
- Upgrade physical education facilities
- Repair the district’s swimming pools
Dallas ISD has upgraded many district campuses through funding from the 2020 bond program that is still being completed. The 2020 bond program has created more than 64,000 jobs and funded 15 replacement schools, six new facilities, and four career institutes while also funding safety, accessibility, and energy-efficiency upgrades across more than 200 campuses.
Texas election laws prohibit Dallas ISD staff from using public resources for electioneering or political advertising. Advocating for or against the bond on district time, property or using district resources, such as email, is strictly prohibited. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with this guidance regarding the 2026 bond election.
