Denton ISD formed a Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC) to provide facility, equipment and infrastructure recommendations to the Denton ISD Board of Trustees. Visit the CAC website to learn more about the steps the committee took to develop its recommendation for a $750.5 bond package.
Denton ISD is one of the fastest-growing school districts in North Texas and has more undeveloped vacant lots than any other school district in the DFW metroplex. Since the district’s last bond in 2013, more than 3,200 new students have enrolled, bringing the 2017-2018 enrollment to 29,500 students. Demographers project the student enrollment will climb to nearly 32,000 students in 2021-2022 and to approximately 35,000 students in 2026-2027.
If the bond election is passed by voters in May, the school district tax rate will not increase. The ad valorem tax rate has been $1.54 for four consecutive years, and it is the intent of the school board and administration to keep the total rate at $1.54 regardless of the election results.
