In a special meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 15, the Dripping Springs ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to call for a $223.7 million bond referendum for the May 6 election later this year.
The work on the May 2023 bond began following the November election with a series of board workshops to regroup and develop a plan to serve the district’s rising student enrollment and capital improvement requests. These workshops focused on reviewing and confirming the project requests, understanding the reasons why voters rejected the district’s November 2022 bond referendum, analyzing line item pricing, including the analysis and validation by an outside third-party pricing consultant, tours of the district’s oldest properties to view the renovation and repair requests, and developing different packaging options for consideration. The May 2023 bond package includes both a focus on the district’s growth, as well as capital improvements and renovations on DSISD’s oldest campuses and campus security and ADA updates on all district campuses.
Any registered voter who resides within the DSISD attendance boundary is eligible to vote in this bond election. The deadline to register to vote is Thursday, April 6. The first day of early voting is Monday, April 24 and Election Day is Tuesday, May 6.
