Last fall, Mesquite ISD formed a Facility Planning Committee comprised of community members, business leaders, students, staff, and parents. The committee was tasked with evaluating and prioritizing the current and future needs of the District while also assessing our current and projected growth in the southern section of the district. In January, representatives from the Facility Planning Committee presented their findings and recommendations to the Board of Trustees. 

On February 10, the Mesquite ISD School Board voted unanimously to adopt an order calling a $600 million bond election. The bond proposal will appear on the ballot as two separate propositions for various projects, including safety and security improvements, safety and security, growth in the southern section of the district, and renovations and updates to aging facilities and equipment.

Registered voters in Mesquite ISD will have the opportunity to vote on the bond referendum, starting with early voting from April 22 to April 29, 2025, and on Election Day, May 3, 2025.

Prop A - $578.5 million

Fund district-wide security enhancements, storm shelters, secure entry points, the consolidation of the two oldest elementary schools, expanded classroom space, a new Pre-K center in the Horn feeder pattern, bus and roof replacements, major campus maintenance and improvements, and upgrades to the transportation center.

Prop B - $21.5 million

Provide for district-wide technology replacement.

Enhanced Safety and Security

  • Provide enhanced security technology on every campus

  • Install perimeter fencing around elementary playgrounds

  • Add storm shelters and secure entry points

  • Eliminate 53 exterior portable classrooms

Addressing Growth

To accommodate growth in the district’s southern sector, the 2025 Bond would fund expansions at multiple campuses and a new Pre-K center to provide additional space for increased enrollment in the Horn feeder pattern.

Aging Facilities and Equipment

  • Consolidate the two oldest elementary campuses

  • Continued life-cycle replacements of buses and roofs 

  • Expand and update the Transportation Center

  • Renovations, maintenance, and repairs to campuses

  • Replace classroom technology and instructional devices

How will this affect your taxes?

If voters approve both propositions on the ballot, the estimated tax impact will be $.01 per $100 of home valuation. This equates to $1.42 per month on the average taxable home value of $170,653 (assumes a homestead exemption of $100,000)
