Good news: building a stronger future for Dallas ISD students costs less than your morning coffee.

If approved, the 2026 bond is projected to increase the I&S (Interest & Sinking) tax rate by just $0.01 — that's an estimated $33.48 per year, or about $2.79 per month, for a home with an average market value of $525,000. And if property values grow faster than projected or interest rates come in lower, the impact could be even less.

Even with this investment, Dallas ISD maintains the lowest total tax rate among the 10 largest DFW school districts. We're building smart — and building responsibly.
