Frisco ISD has 4 propositions on the ballot this year:

Proposition A is a VATRE (Voter-Approved Tax Rate Election), which proposes a tax increase of less than 3 cents to fund operating expenses like teacher salaries, utilities, and student programming.

Propositions B, C, and D: Bonds for Campus Upkeep & Technology
100% of bond funds stay within FISD. View a complete list of projects by campus. School bond ballots are required by state law to include the statement “This is a property tax increase.” even though these bonds are not projected to result in an additional tax increase.

• Proposition B: Over 20 campuses are nearing 25 years old, and this proposition will fund essential updates like:
• 25-year campus refresh
• Staley Middle School replacement
• General facility maintenance, paving, landscape repairs
• Safety & security improvements
• New turf for baseball/softball fields with seating less than 1,000
• Transportation and equipment needs
