North Texas school districts holding bond, tax rate elections

Several North Texas school districts are holding tax ratification elections, including Coppell, Northwest, Celina, Frisco, Rockwall, and Argyle ISDs.

For example, in Frisco, the school district is asking for a tax rate increase of $0.0294 per $100 in home value. That additional money would help Frisco ISD cover regular maintenance, operations, and debt bills.

Frisco ISD also wants voters to approve spending more than $1 billion in bond projects. The money will be used to renovate and build new schools, purchase buses, update outdated technology equipment, and build an $11 million tennis center.

Rockwall ISD is asking for $848 million for new school facilities, buses, and improving stadium facilities.

Allen ISD wants $447 million for school facilities, safety upgrades, repairing athletic tracks, and upgrading instructional technology.

There are also bond elections in the Highland Park, Sunnyvale, Birdville, and Grapevine-Colleyville school districts.
