Supporting the Future of Arlington ISD 

Strong public schools are the foundation of a thriving community. Exceptional academic performance, innovative classroom instruction, and career and job training opportunities are helping prepare Arlington ISD students for success in college, careers, and life. The most important thing we can do as a community is ensure all students continue to have access to excellent schools.

Arlington ISD conducted a comprehensive, independent third-party review of district facilities and infrastructure. This detailed assessment evaluated the condition and capacity of every campus and identified critical needs across the district.

Community members then stepped forward to help shape a plan. The Capital Needs Steering Committee — made up of parents, educators, business owners, civic leaders, and residents from across Arlington — spent months reviewing enrollment trends, facility conditions, projected costs, and potential tax impacts. After careful study and discussion, the committee made recommendations to the Arlington ISD Board of Trustees who then called for a $500 million bond package that includes three propositions that address the district’s most urgent facility and infrastructure needs through 2029.

If approved by voters on May 2, the bond would enhance schools across the district and invest in the future of Arlington students. Proposed projects include:

  • New and rebuilt schools

  • Renovations to aging facilities

  • Updated classroom technology and reliable digital infrastructure

  • Critical maintenance improvements such as HVAC, roofing, and buses

  • Additional safety and security protections for students and staff

 Just as important, the proposal was developed with taxpayers in mind. Based on current financial projections and existing debt obligations, the bond can be funded with an estimated one-cent increase to Arlington ISD’s current tax rate. The district has also demonstrated strong financial stewardship by lowering its tax rate while paying off voter-approved debt early and refinancing bonds, saving taxpayers more than $40 million in principal and interest.

We are parents, grandparents, educators, community members, and business owners who believe investing in our schools is investing in Arlington’s future.

Join us in voting FOR all three Arlington ISD bond propositions on May 2. Together, we can continue the positive momentum in our community and ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed.
