Thank you, Voters!
2023 Bond Information
In fall 2023, Lewisville ISD asked voters to consider the approval of a bond proposition that would support maintenance, repairs and renovations to LISD campuses and facilities. On Nov. 7, 2023 voters approved a majority of the district's nearly $1.23 billion bond referendum. The Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE), Proposition A, was also approved and added an additional $37.5 million annually to the operating budget to help sustain competitive staff pay and maintain student instructional opportunities and programs of choice. The passing of Bond Propositions B and C represented $1,030,177,000 of the total proposed bond package of $1,229,620,000.
Development of the bond proposal involved an in-depth process of information gathering, research, and community input. Lewisville ISD collected data from a district-wide facilities assessment, a technology device committee, campus and department staff interviews, and a transportation audit. In April 2023, district leaders assembled the One Vision Task Force, a group of more than 70 stakeholders charged with developing a plan and potential bond package that was recommended to the LISD Board of Trustees for consideration, who then called for the six bond proposals and the VATRE to be included on the Nov. 7 ballot for LISD residents.
The LISD Board of Trustees called for a bond election to be on the ballots on May 4, 2024, which includes three propositions to address needs related to athletics and recreation, LISD’s two aquatic centers, and all five existing high school stadiums. The Board and district administrators recently reconvened the One Vision Task Force to hear input about how to address the maintenance, repairs and renovations left outstanding as a result of the fall election, and the Board decided to ask voters for their approval of these proposals.
The deadline to register to vote is Thursday, April 4. Early Voting begins April 22 and runs through April 30, and election day is May 4. Find details at LISDBond.com.
